Sessions is claiming that the DOJ isn't asking local PD's to go out and arrest people who are in the country illegally. FLAG. Huh. Well my city council had a whole big meeting about just this a few months ago so maybe we need to write this in the sky or something.

Senator Whitehouse: Is anyone at DOJ working on election security?
Sessions: "Wellll I thiiink it would fall within our National Security division, which is led by Dana Boente...I'll be frank: I don't know that we're doing a specific legislative review at this point."
Whitehouse: Don't you think it would be prudent to do that? We have been warned
Sessions: I'd be glad to discuss that with you

Whitehouse: Senate committees are trying to work with DOJ on cybersecurity and election security, and we can't get anyone to work with us. "The silence has been deafening." "We have a lot of trouble getting answers to ANYTHING out of the Department of Justice." Now he's reading us a list of letters he has sent to DOJ that have gone unanswered.

There's nobody in the DOJ who's responsible for working with the Senate on cybersecurity and Whitehouse is pissed.
He says they can't get an answer from anyone at the DOJ. Going through all his unanswered letters to the DOJ. Damn.

Whitehouse always brings the receipts. I love him. He's reading the laws about Executive Privilege.

ohhhhhh so the AG can determine that Executive Privilege should not be invoked. SICK BURN SHELDON. He is reading the law out loud to Sessions' face and Sessions is saying, "Well I'm not sure about that."

Graham: Do you support a path to citizenship for DREAMers if we can get border security included?
Sessions: I think we can work something out on this but it can't be one-sided

oh ok, he misspoke. He meant the Trump campaign. So Sessions didn't know about the Trump Tower meeting.

POTUS knew last summer that Comey jumped into the Clinton investigation inappropriately. Why did he want so long to fire him?
Sessions: Wellllll he didn't realize the full import of that situation

Why is sessions so confused? He seems to not follow anything. That or he's really trying to be careful with his answers.

Klobuchar: Is the Mueller investigation a "witch hunt?" Do you still have confidence in the investigation?
Sessions: "Well I'm just an old prosecutor who just says the process has to work its will"
Klobuchar: Ok but you didn't answer my question.
Sessions: I've known Bob Mueller for a long time so I know he'll do his best and history will judge.
Klobuchar: Wut?
Sessions: I haven't changed my mind since my testimony in June

Would a preemptive pardon be problematic?

Klobuchar: Do you think it's problematic for the FBI director to have private meetings and conversations with the president? Are you taking steps within the DOJ to ensure that officials aren't being inappropriately approached by the president?
Sessions: "We think there should be a careful policy on that subject." It's inappropriate for WH officials to call civil attorneys and "carry on conversations." Cites an old rule put in place by Holder and Lynch
