Again, if it was so clear that Comey broke the rules, why did it take so long to fire him?
the administration can just say it was just incompetence on their part, as has been the general republican defense

How so? His timbre or his vocabulary or his attitude?
basically everything

that was more or less the definition of political grandstanding

if he really thought there were misdeeds, he should ask questions to elicit the truth or to force a lie. he was going off about smell tests and poo poo, that was nothing.

sessions has hosed up baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaadly here

he has said that he's giving Trump the chance to review the question and decide to invoke executive privilege, so now he's thrown Trump under the bus who now must assert it or not
if he's right that it's always the president who decides whether to invoke executive privilege, then he's not exactly throwing anybody under the bus.

To be honest I don't think any of the Democratic senators have done that great job nailing Sessions for refusing to answer questions. They just give up after a bit when what the papers really need is somebody to press him for all of five minutes

This line of questioning by Manchin is actually really effective, he's made Sessions say "I don't recall" about five times in a row. It emphasizes how ridiculous that statement is

I didn't notice anything. What didn't I pick up?
he pointed out that Sessions said in July and November that Comey was doing exactly the right thing regarding Clinton emails, yet he later supported firing Comey for doing those things. it's a major inconsistency that somehow nobody else has spoken about yet
