McCain is throwing Sessions' past performance on the armed services committee back in his face. "I don't recall you, as a member of the committee, being particularly concerned with [Russian national security matters]" Ooh this is what he's doing. Thanks for the translation.

He says this is very disturbing that Russia keeps pushing hostile actions.... yet 10 mins ago he was saying we need to be BFF wth Russia.

warner reiterates that this isn't about relitigating 2016, it's about being prepared for the persistent and ongoing interference on the part of the Russians

To be fair, that's no big task. Sessions is not the best and brightest. Sessions makes me feel like the most competent lawyer ever He makes me feel like a competent lawyer. Spoiler alert: I'm not a lawyer.

Burr (paraphrasing): You've answered a lot of questions here today. There were several questions that you chose not to answer bc of confidentiality with the president. I ask you now to go back and work with the White House to see if you can give us more information. Please give us any documents you have (why wasn't this done already?). Thank you for agreeing to have a continuing dialog with us as we continue in our investigation (ha, he only kind of said he would do this, but I love Burr holding him to it).

They better fucking come prepared to school him if they bring him back and he tries to use that not really executive privilege, but kinda executive privilege, excuse that he was using.

But seriously, is there anything they can do about people basically invoking executing privilege for themselves?
Or is it because the Republicans would have to take action that no action will be taken?

There needs to be follow up on this with all of them. Get the WH on record whether Trump is exerting privilege or not and then bring them all back in for another hearing. But the GOP runs the committee so my guess is not.
