Not correct. His testimony was accurate and honestly stated.
If you are ever in a lawsuit where you are to be placed upon the stand, you will be instructed by your atty to answer the question ‘yes’ or ‘no’ whenever possible, to answer ONLY the question that is asked and to volunteer no additional information. This is 100% universal.
So if someone asks you “did you eat an apple last Thursday” your answer is “yes” or “no”. It is not “yes, I selected an apple from a bowl sitting on my kitchen counter, washed it off in the sink, and dabbed it with a towel. I bit into it and it was very satisfying. After I finished the apple, I took the core with the seeds, walked over to the wastebasket, opened the lid, and dropped the core into the garbage. I rinsed my hands in the sink and then I dried my hands on a towel. I then left the kitchen, walked to my office, and resumed my work.”
The difference? You should not supply any information that you imagine will be “helpful” or “descriptive”.
Sessions was asked “did you speak to the Russky whomever about the campaign” and the answer is, properly, “no”. He was NOT asked “did you have any contact whatsoever with the Russians before the election and if so, what did you discuss?” in which case the answer might have been “yes, I met on a few occasions with the Amb as part of my duties as Senator and we discussed blah blah and blah but I never discussed the election with him either as a Trump supporter or as a whisper candidate for AG.
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.
