15. Under Oath

Jeff Sessions swore before testifying. You are always under oath when you testify before Congress. And,it is a crime to lie to Congress or under oath.

Did you see the fake smile on Sessions face when saying he knew nothing.

The girl behind Franken was having an awful time trying to keep a straight face and the guy behind Sessions was darting his eyes.

5. Good tape. Franken did a good job. Sessions...so obviously flacid political answers. nt

11. Did he actually say:

"I did not have communications with the Russians"?

Does that remind anyone of a former President? As in ...

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman"?

And look what happened to that former President!

12. Yes he says it. Re-watch the video.

[Miles Archer]

13. Yep. That's why my thread title was...

..."At 1 minute mark: Sessions tells Senator Franken "I DID NOT HAVE COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE RUSSIANS""

Because at the 1 minute mark he says "I DID NOT HAVE COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE RUSSIANS"

[brush]

14. Yes. Right? I don't see how anyone questions it.

[True Blue American]

16. My thoughts

Exactly. And his answer was half truth. The Judge even said it was debatable.

[Mc Mike]

17. Typical repug party choice for top cop.

A felon, openly committing perjury on camera, with the whole world watching.

Repug admins go through A.G.s like normal people go through kleenex.

18. Franken's statment

Many Americans are rightly concerned by the Trump team’s close ties with the Russian government and the role that Russia played in interfering with our presidential election. There’s a dark cloud over the Trump administration and there are a lot of questions still unanswered.

When then-Senator Jeff Sessions testified under oath during his confirmation hearing to become attorney general, he explicitly told me that he had not been in contact with Russian officials in the course of the presidential campaign. But according to a report from the Washington Post, he actually met with the Russian Ambassador during that time period. If that's true, then I am very troubled that his response to my questioning during his confirmation hearing was, at best, misleading.
In light of these revelations, I'm going to be directly pressing Attorney General Sessions to answer some tough questions about his contact with Russia and his testimony before the Judiciary Committee.

The American people deserve to know the truth about what happened between Russia and the Trump team, and I believe we need thorough and impartial investigations to get to the bottom of it. It's clearer than ever now that the attorney general cannot, in good faith, oversee an investigation at the Department of Justice and the FBI of the Trump-Russia connection, and he must recuse himself immediately.

19. Under oath

in a Senate confirmation hearing no less. So perjury on a level we haven't seen before. He is a national security risk to our country. I do hope former AG's hit all talk shows and news programs demanding his firing and an investigation.
