Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) slammed Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Friday for joking about whether any Russians were in attendance at one of his speeches in Washington.
"Jeff Sessions still doesnt get it," Lieu said on CNN's "The Situation Room," calling Sessions' comments inappropriate.
"He is not in trouble because he happened to be in places where there were Russians," Lieu said of the attorney general.
"He is in trouble because he had a nearly hourlong meeting with Ambassador Kislyak [who] is also a spy and then he failed to disclose the existence of that meeting under oath to the U.S. Senate."
Sessions joked about connections to Russia before a speech at the conservative Federalist Society convention earlier Friday................................

(38,445 posts)My guess, is the only was he will "escape prosecution", is through a "presidential pardon"
Another guess is: Sessions has been assured a "presidential pardon" no matter what..
(as are many others) Very Sad, but completely plausible..

(14,494 posts)Even above the president, our attorney general should be a shining example of respect for US law and justice, both in their personal and professional lives.
We now have a president, vice president, many cabinet members and an attorney general that believe our laws and system of justice do not apply to them because their holy GOP philosophy trumps all laws and morals.
They must somehow be removed from office ASAP.
