Do we later find out that Trump has business ties to some fishing industry that has been pushing to have these regulations ended

Sessions is a historically terrible public speaker, probably told about a dozen easily provable lies, won't be called on it because he honestly looks so dementia ridden it's impossible to prove intent to lie or the fact it isn't constantly 1930 in his mind.

Executive privileged is for private conversations but he's a talking about stuff that Trump has tweeted about or said in open company, so it's bullshit. Feinstein was right to be pissed at him.

Maybe just general hate at things liberals like. Or directly removing something done by Obama because he can't stand Obama.

Sessions just claimed he had unofficially recused himself by virtue of not doing his job by doing any research on the most important issue of the day

So is the basic game here that he is hiding behind a combination of (1) his recusal, (2) semi invoking executive privilege of what he discussed with POTUS, (3) his swiss cheese memory and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯?

Oh, well, that's all water under the bridge, as I always say. Water under the bridge!

I don't know why they're bothering with so many questions. If they can just grab ahold of Sessions with a pair of iron tongs he'll have to spill his guts.

That's elf law, you know.
