no, you're wrong, General Sessions, it is not within the purview of the Special Counsel to determine how to prevent future election interference. That's up to HPSCI and SSCI

Side topic: is Sasse really pronounced "Sassy", or did Jayapal just mispronounce? If it really is pronounced Sassy, I am LAUGHING. It is not. It's just Sass.

Rep Jayapal: Mr. Sessions, with all due respect, it's difficult to take your assurances under oath seriously when you continuously change your testimony. You claim that it's unreasonable to expect you to recall conversations from a year ago but you're a seasoned prosecutor and a veteran of the US Senate. As a prosecutor, did you accept a defense of, "I can't recall?" AG Sessions: 9,000 word version of "yes" Just poking in to say that Rep Jayapal is giving me life with her line of questioning and I want to be her best friend.

Parliamentary point of order raised bc Sessions says he's not invoking executive privilege he just simply won't answer. The Chairman recognizes the issue but says that past witnesses have refused to answer questions without invoking Executive Privilege in the past. That's nonsense.

I am so tired of him invoking executive privilege when the president hasn't done that. He is REQUIRED to answer the question.
And Republicans are defending him for some reason.

Rep Schneider: Man, you guys really hate rights. I need to talk to you about voting rights and civil rights. But right now, let's talk about Russia. Senator Sasse asked you if you're doing enough to prevent further foreign interference in our elections. You admitted that your department isn't doing enough. You also said at that hearing, weeks ago, "It requires a real review" but today you said that there is no review taking place. So tell me what steps you have taken to protect our elections, less than one year out from the 2018 midterms Sessions: I haven't done anything yet but I will do something. It's important. I should be able to give you better information today than I am

5 hours of testimony outlining how Sessions' credibility is questionable, and Martha Roby thinks all she needs to do is point blank ask Sessions if he colluded with Russia, then smiles like she's Sherlock fucking Holmes.

interesting. Rep Rutherford just pointed out a potential 4th amendment issue with TSA search programs being extended to public roadways without the SCOTUS prescribed present and verifiable threat. I need to dig into that.

Oh. So the press is unreliable, but leaked videos that have since been debunked as totally false are completely valid. ::sigh:: They're mad about Planned Parenthood now.
