Feinstein genuinely sounded baffled for a second there when she heard "I can't discuss that".

They also thought Comey hung himself with his testimony and cleared the Russia story.

Huh, Rubio asking an actually good question. What's his angle for caring if Sessions thought the president was doing something untoward with Comey?

Man, sessions is coming out of this hella incompetent if nothing else.

I recall nothing, my subordinates told me nothing, I dont know any of my boss' views.

Between this, Pal Ryan's "he's new at this!", and the verbal bulldozer DeVos, - A childlike level of incompetence seems to be a pretty good excuse?

the administration can just say it was just incompetence on their part, as has been the general republican defense

I trusted Comey, who set the constitution that we all love ablaze when he refused to investigate Clinton, to handle himself well when spending time alone with the President.

He's the head of the DoJ, it's up to him. He's just trying to avoid perjuring himself.

Relative to everything else he's asked, it was far more relevant and pointed. Like this babble coming out of his mouth now, for instance!

How does the AG not know that if the President made tapes he'd have to preserve them?

Both sides are going way overboard with what they think is being said and what will happen as a result and it's tiresome. Every hearing or statement or leak is totally full vindication or guaranteed impeachment.
