oh goodie Lamar Smith showed up to talk about scary brown people. ::sigh::
he's applauding Sessions for having the courage to enforce the laws against sanctuary cities and asks which other immigration laws need to be better enforced. This is a waste of everyone's time.

Rep Deutch: POTUS obstructed justice when he tried to get Comey to drop the Flynn investigation, AND when he fired Comey.
Sessions: I can't express an opinion on that.
Deutch: Can he fire the special counsel, or members of his team? Or to block investigations into his own campaign?
Sessions: Investigations have to be conducted without politics or bias.
Deutch: Right, and without fear of being fired or of the president attempting to block their investigation.

Sessions: "It would be premature" to comment on whether POTUS can or should pardon Papadapoulous, Manafort or Gates
Ted Deutch is being a GD hero right now

Deutch: You started your testimony by saying that there is nothing more important than defending the rule of law. But your behavior today has the rule of law "crumbling at our feet." You took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States but we're sitting here being concerned about another Saturday Night Massacre. We should all be worried about president Trump's behavior and your refusal to state that his actions must be measured by the law.

Ted Poe asks if anyone is being prosecuted or investigated for releasing FISA obtained information.
Sessions says that nobody is under indictment, although there have been 4 indictments this year for leaks of classified information.

OMG LOLOLOLOL.
rep Guttierez: I have an idea that will save the American people a lot of time, grief, and taxpayer dollars in lieu of all these investigations. Let's go to Donald Trump and Hillary clinton and ask them both to resign. Boom, problem solved. Of course, I don't know what we would be asking Mrs. Clinton to resign from because, last I checked, she's not in charge of anything--even though she got 3 million more votes! We need to all move on from an election that simply won't end. And why we're sitting here talking about Secretary Clinton, who holds no elected office, is beyond me.

Are you going to fulfill Trump's campaign promise to put Hillary in jail?
"We will comply with the law with regard to special prosecutor appointment"

Swalwell are working so hard to hide how wildly entertained they are by Mr. Gutierrez right now.
The Congressman reminds the AG that he is under oath, then enters a Mother Jones article into the record. And then he asks them again if he had campaign contacts with the Russians

Sessions doesnt want to clarify his testimony because he isnt sure what is correct.

Ms. Bass would like to know how the DOJ came to issue a report claiming that "Black Identity Extremists" are targeting police officers. And she would like to know why there are no reports concerning violence perpetrated by white identity extremists.
Sessions says that specific white identity groups have been identified but that there isn't a broader DOJ report regarding white identity extremists.

Can you name a single black identity organization today that has promoted violence against police officers?
Sessions: I believe I could but I'd want to check my facts before I do. But we've had 4 police officers killed.
Bass: Ok, but, those weren't associated with black activist groups. As opposed to one that happened in Baton Rouge, that was perpetrated by Sovereign Citizens, a white identity group.

Ms. Bass: There aren't even any Black Identity Extremists groups in existence today, much less can they be targeting police officers. So I'd like to know what you're going to do to correct this report.
Sessions: I'll read it.

Mr. Gowdy doesn't want to relitigate the FBI's decision not to prosecute Secretary Clinton except he wants to spend his 5 minutes talking about everything he perceives that Comey did wrong.

Related to nothing in this thread, but today is the first time in a long time I've been on my computer and seen signatures. @darlene, now I know who you are. I was wondering where the hell you had been.
