Jeff Sessions is America's Keebler Elf. |
Sessions goes to Congress to testify under oath about the latest controversy involving him, Donald Trump Jr., Carter Page, Paul Manafort, Russian meddling and Hillary Clinton's involvement in Uranium One.
House members gave him a grilling. The most inept top cop said he never lied under oath.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA), Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX), Rep. Karen Bass (D-CA), Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN), Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), Rep. Bob Goodlate (R-VA), Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) wanted the elf's cookies.
Jeffries won the day and in my opinion. The New York lawmaker grilled Sessions on his honesty. He asked the moron top cop about lying under oath.
Session when he was then a senator complained Clinton when she testified under oath about them damn emails. Sessions said that Clinton committed perjury.
Jeffries call him out on that. Sessions squirmed a bit. Especially his, "I can't recall" remarks 35 times.
Jackson-Lee got him cornered. The Department of Justice is toying around labeling Black Lives Matter, an extremist group. She also brought attention to the accusers of sexual harassment and assault.
Lieu nailed him on telling the Senate during his confirmation that he didn't engage conduct with Russia. Session said he did meet Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak and former Trump foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos. The former policy advisor Papadopoulos was convicted of felony wire fraud.
And of course, Jordan. The controversial Ohio lawmaker brings up the debunked Uranium One scandal.
This "scandal" is being driven up by John H. Solomon, a conservative writer for The Hill and Sara Carter, a conservative agitator from Sinclair Broadcast Group.
It is heavily promoted on Fox News and its most annoying host, Sean "Softball" Hannity. The agitator is facing an advertising boycott.
Jordan also wasted time trying to have Sessions look into the Christopher Steele dossier. The company Fusion GPS was hired by Republican operatives and was about to be spread by the Washington Examiner. When the inept leader won the nomination, they dropped the He kept asking if they will be a special prosecutor looking into the matter. Sessions said it's a matter that he will eventually look into.
Progressives pulled up his Senate confirmation hearing where he told Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) that he will recuse himself from investigating Clinton.
Sessions, used to be an Alabama senator and a surrogate for Donald J. Trump.
He is under federal watch for advocatimg collusion with the Russia Federation.
Trump Jr., has admitted to talking to Julian Assange, the founder of WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Roy and Kayla Moore ain't letting Washington stop them. The mounting pressure to dropout growing. The Republican nominee is being forced to quit. |
The Republican nominee had more news dropped on him. The New Yorker had reported that Moore was banned from the Gadsden Mall after security officers reported him trolling girls. Former workers said that if anyone seen Moore in the mall, report it.
Moore and his young wife Kayla dismissed the accusations.
Five women came forth with allegations that Moore sexually abused them.
Sessions is under fire by not going after Clinton. Trump can fire him and the Republicans could replace him with an attorney general who could go after Trump's political enemies. Republicans are scrambling to either take the risk of having Moore win and stripping him of rank. They consider expelling him and reissuing a special election. The governor Kay Ivey could delay the election but it could force a court battle because Democratic nominee Doug Jones would say it's deliberate sabotage. The Democrats are hoping to flip a seat that is heavily Republican. Difficult task but could it be done.
