Sessions is not going to come out of this looking good.

Sessions sure does get tired and fussy when he's away from Candyland for too long.

"You have spoken plainly since your opening statements" Can you commit perjury if you're asking the questions? Cuz gently caress Lankford.

Sessions is painting himself as more incompetent than Trump. Its either an evil genius plan or he really is that dumb. Im not sure which one is worse.

I hope we get a WWE poster mock up of this hearing with King, Heinrich and Wyden putting the smack down on sessions.

Gonna waste 2 minutes defending this AG without asking a question because I'm here for a fair and balanced hearing.

This guy is very representative of Oklahoma. Loud, stupid, brash, and ignorant.

right to bear karma posted:gently caress, I went to make lunch and missed Heinrich. Did the same & missed one of my senator's (Wyden) turns at the roast. Sat back down at my desk in time to see Lankford's turn to daintily swab Jefferson Beauregard's balls, so I muted that poo poo for a minute.

"Have you maintained this recusal?" "Well I never actually did my job to begin with so technically I've been recused for well beyond that time!" Amazing.

Do they maintain a particular ratio of senators in these hearings? It would suck if they stacked it with Rs.

This poo poo matters. With the advent of radio and television appearance and delivery are important to perception, and giving up easy wins because you suck at a part of your job you deem superficial and not important enough to bother with is one of many many reasons Democrats are losing where they should be winning. Your outrage on his behalf because 'he's a good person' is immaterial.

Democrats: ask a short pointed question, results in long rambling non-answer by Sessions Republicans: barely asks a question at all but instead gives long prewritten speeches, results in "yes absolutely" by Sessions

Is Lankford flat-out testifying?
|
# ? Jun 13, 2017 21:24 |

I'm sorry, did I forget why we're here? Langford's supposed to be asking questions, right? Not giving speeches followed up with the word "right?", right?

I think Sessions is just as clueless as Trump and will sink in much the same way. This is an optimistic view.
