Magox Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Or consider the alternative scenario in the current witch hunt environment Do you for a second think that if he answered the question in the manner that you prescribe there would be no noise? Of course not. The narrative would be spun as "Sessions is lying that his conversations with Russians did not involve the campaign." Of course there would have been noise. The calculation is simple, if he had of said what I had suggested or something along those lines, would he have still been confirmed? I'm pretty sure he would have. Sure, there would have been critical coverage, but not enough to sink him. His Senate colleagues on the GOP side wouldn't have sold him down the river for that. He's got too much cred on the right wing and establishment for that to have happened. But now, the pressure is so great from both sides of the aisle, at the very least he'll have to recuse himself of any possible investigation.

GG Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Sessions should resign now, former attny gen in his state as well as Senator he should know better. He lied now he gotta resign. Sure their would be noise... problem is he lied... no can do..., Noise is one thing, so what, but lying to FBI whole nother kettle of fish... Hes been in DC too long, called DENIAL... Dont Even Know I Am Lying.., Not answering a question that wasn't asked isn't lying. Again, it's not his fault that people can't frame a proper Q&A session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North Buffalo Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Lol FBI questions are quite clear and all encompassing as well as broad, leaving **** out is considered lying... youve never been thru a background check..

TakeYouToTasker Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Gonna be resigning soon.., Not a chance. Eric Holder was held in contempt of congress for Pete's sake and he didn't resign.

Deranged Rhino Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Lol FBI questions are quite clear and all encompassing as well as broad, leaving **** out is considered lying... youve never been thru a background check.. With respect, he wasn't answering questions from the FBI. He was answering questions from a senator. There's a rather large difference between those two scenarios and how each phrases its questions. Sounds like he's being pretty straightforward to me Doubling down in the sense of his answer to Franken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True thought it was FBI according to AP short i saw..., if a Senator.., an issue but not the same level especially given his explanation.

DC Tom Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Nope. Yep. He just recused himself. That's a sign of weakness that'll cause the left to double-down on screaming for him to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
