Sessions once claimed he never met with the Russians. Well, sorta, kinda, maybe. It depends…

Franken was appropriately blunt, explaining that: “The ambassador from Russia is Russian. And how your justification or how your responses morphed from ‘I did not have communications with the Russians’ to… ‘I did not discuss the political campaign’ and then finally going to ‘I did not discuss interference in the election,’ that to me is moving the goalpost every time.”

Yeah, he squirmed when asked if he had been interviewed by Mueller...

 

also a long pause when asked by Graham why, if comey was fired by Trump for mishandling emails, it took so long.

 

only 5 months in. Team Mueller.

The law will catch up Sessions soon, he's just buying time.

Sasse returned to the point a few minutes later, and Sessions’s answer got even worse. Sasse asked: “Do you think the Department of Justice has a proactive role in looking at hardening our democratic process against foreign interference?”

Sessions responded that Sasse had made a “valuable point” and that if Sasse had any thoughts toward legislation, he was eager to hear them. But as to any proactive role on the Justice Department’s part, Sessions made only the following remarkable admission: “I am not sure we have a specific review underway at this point in time.”

You read that right. According to the attorney general, the Justice Department is not even reviewing the specific question of what policy or bureaucratic changes might be appropriate in establishing an active role for the department concerning the most basic defense of democracy.

Later in his five hours of testimony, Sessions had a chance to revisit the matter under similarly cordial questioning from Democratic Sen. Amy Klobuchar. “Are you aware,” the Minnesota senator asked, “of any efforts between the department and other federal agencies to assist states in this upcoming election to protect our elections from hacking?” Sessions responded blandly that the FBI has “capabilities and experience in many of these matters” and that he does “think it is an important matter,” and he insisted that electronic alteration of vote totals would be a “stunning disaster” and cannot happen. But as to any initiatives of the department he again offered not a word.

In short, the attorney general of the United States, though acknowledging and expressing confidence in the intelligence community’s assessment of foreign interference in the 2016 election and admitting that the government isn’t doing enough to guard against such activity in the future, could not identify a single step his department is taking or should take in that direction. He could not suggest a proactive role the department might play against foreign information operations. He could not even identify a policy review currently underway on the subject, though he agreed that one was appropriate. He could not identify legislation that might be helpful. And he could not name any departmental activity, beyond the FBI’s having capabilities, in support of states that might be targeted in upcoming elections.

Still speculating about unproven conspiracy theories while Hillary is caught red handed in a deal with the Russians.

The left has been telling us for years that voter fraud doesn’t exist, and that tampering with an election can’t possibly happen.  Why waste money trying to ensure that it doesn’t happen?  If Teddy were here, y’all would know the truth about election fraud from him.  He would tell you, for sure.  I am trying, but I just don’t have the same depth of knowledge on the subject.

I don’t think Washington works that way.  Case in point, Hillary.

He is.  I think he’s still suffering from PTOSD and won’t be posting for a while longer though.
