Franken asked Sessions a no-win trick question because if he said no he did not speak with the Russian ambassador before the election then the dems would come back with the ah! we have proof that you talked to the Russian ambassador. If he said yes he did speak to the ambassador then the dems would reply aha! you were colluded with the Russians! It was a trap because the dems know that most people did not know that it was legal and common for Senators to speak with ambassadors. The dems would make a big to do about what shady dealings must have been going on.
It was a non-meeting. Revise his testimony, it is not lying, it is a mistake, and certainly not worth a recusal.
The Dems scream about the speck in Sessions eye but fail to see the beam in Hillary’s.
