Sessions will be testifying before Congress for the first time since he was confirmed as attorney general in February. In light of former FBI director James B. Comey’s testimony last week, Sessions is expected to get many questions from lawmakers about his contacts with Russian officials during the 2016 election campaign.

This is a developing story. It will be updated.

1. when he lies, then what? nt

2. Perjury, but "in for a dime, in for a dollar"

He must realize he is already caught, so the best he can do is put a happy face on it and hope for the best. Alternatively, and in the best case for Dems, he will throw Donald under the bus to save himself. I could really see him do that.

5. He'll probably just lie and say he never met with any Russian other then that other time,

that he also originally didn't disclose. It's what his boss would do, after all. Either that or he'll say he misunderstood the question, or he saw Kislyak on Senate business not Drumpf related so thought it wasn't germane. People who cross Putin or one of his puppets end up dead and I'm sure Sessions knows that, so he will never roll over on Drumpf.

9. exactly, worst case, if he lies, its a few months in a cell with a 50" tv

3. In related news, the Keebler Elves stage a wildcat strike...

"This administration is half-baked" their spokes-elf claims...

4. I wonder what we'll get from this goon

More waffling, things to energize the right, interspersed with middle-of -the-road
blather about law and order to soothe the Tea Pottie Tin Ear.

It's still like the country is having 2 conversations, a cultural war for older
conservatives and hope and change for progressives.

They tagged us liberal, so we changed to progressives, now they're tagging that one.

6. Feeling lucky, eh Beau ?

7. Who wants to take money that he invokes the 5th?

8. He'll just claim he did it while in his role as a Senator

making him "immune" to "reporting".

10. Sessions has to answer why he didn't document or say anything about trump alone with FBI director.

Comey had to ask him to keep trump away.

11. I read the comments over at WaPo and oh boy, it's NOT looking good for lil' Jeff.

Running about 10 to 1 against the little, lying racist.
But one might expect the readers and commenters at 'The Washington Post' aren't representative of the opinions of the readers of say 'The Birmingham News'.
It's worth going to the link and taking a peek!
