1. Unlikely he's acquired any self-respect since he was sent packing, but...

one might think he'd be slightly less willing to serve as Trump's sycophantic "cover"...

2. Man I wish Al Franken was there

He is a Jeff Sessions giant-killer

3. I hope somebody gets the recipe for toll house cookies.

4. I wonder what it would take for

that tightass little weasel sing like a bird. I suppose it depends on how pissed off he is a tRump.

5. What's this "negotiating" crap?

The House can subpoena the Alabama criminal and prosecute him if he ignores the subpoena can't they?

6. No.

They can't prosecute anyone. They can refer matters to the DOJ for possible prosecution.

7. Options most likely to succeed:

1)
The Supreme Court said in 1821 that Congress has “inherent authority” to arrest and detain recalcitrant witnesses.

2) File a civil suit (but this is a slow process)

11. Do you think subpoenaing him and then arresting and detaining him if he doesn't show

will produce a better outcome than working out with him a day and time for him to come testify, issuing a subpoena for the agreed-upon date, and then taking his testimony when he appears?

8. geez that better come with a SHITLOAD of conditions......

because i wouldn't trust Sessions to testify on what color his eyes are let alone expect him to come before Congress and say anything even remotely close to the truth.
