....which is why Sessions likely answered the way he did.

I am disappointed he recused and ceded the point to the dems, who will not be satisfied with his minor concession. (unless his recusal kills the issue, which it may)

I was disappointed again to hear why he recused; he talked it over with his DoJ staff who thought it the proper move. Sessions then explained he had hardly any of his own staff on board, which means it's Obie's DoJ staff holdovers who recommended he recuse.

WTF ??? He took Obie holdover's advice ? That's a bad decision from a wise man. (unless it kills the issue)

Donald's magnifico address to congress clearly was buried with the Sessions story, and was purposely timed by the dems.

But, as as happened a hundred times, Donald can change the headlines tomorrow.....I'm waiting.

Exactly, Sessions was being generous. In the context of the long question about a CNN report no one had seen,and the context of his answer about being a “campaign surrogate” Sessions was completely accurate.

I read this awhile ago, it’s not comforting in how they say it but I guess, per Andrew McCarthy, the law would be on his, Sessions, side, so that would be good.

My friend applied for a professional license, he “concealed” a minor misdemeanor offense, he just said “that happened a long time ago” and didn’t include it. Nothing happened on a records check. This with Sessions reminds me a bit of that.

In fact, the actual question was, if as AG, you find out the things in the CNN report were true, what would you do? That was the question and Sessions said I’m unaware of any such activities.

Trump and Andrew McCarthy on on the same page and folks need to calm down:
Jeff Sessions is an honest man. He did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional. The whole narrative is a way of saving face for Democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed to win. The Democrats are overplaying their hand. They lost the election and now, they have lost their grip on reality. The real story is all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information. It is a total witch hunt!

NR blows goats. Conservatives are less concerned about this nonsense than the serious matter of: when are women Olympians going to start competing naked again?
