You can’t get a “yes” or “no” question from @jeffsessions because he can never recall anything. #SessionsHearing

Talking about Roy Moore...Sessions says he has no reason to disbelieve the women

Shelia Jackson Lee is not impressed with Sessions.

If his memory is as bad as all that, he should be retired - not AG.

I wish, Cozie!

Sessions has tremendous recollection of all topics not related to criminal allegations against Trump admin.

Sessions can recall. He is a fake dotard. #Fauxtard #SessionsHearing

For anyone who wants to follow, but doesn't want to suffer through Sessions' "I can't recall":

Oh bless you for that link, HowDo.

Although, I'm already being distracted by the replies on Abramson's thread.

Maybe if someone gave him a sock or something he would be so grateful that he would start telling the truth?

Those replies are brilliant, Perking!

Gutierrez is going for Sessions...bringing up the times he lied under oath

Gutierrez asks for a Mother Jones article noting Sessions has made multiple false statements under oath to be entered into the record #SessionsHearing

Chris Murphy: "We are concerned that the President of the United States is so unstable, is so volatile... that he will order a nuclear weapons strike" that isn't warranted.

Jeff Sessions says he has “no reason to doubt” the women accusing Roy Moore — the man seeking to fill the AG’s former Senate seat — of sexual misconduct and abuse.

Rep. Bass to Sessions: “Would you consider Black Lives Matter a 'Black Identify Extremist' group?"

Sessions: “I’m not able to comment on that, I have not so declared it.”

The FBI’s New U.S. Terrorist Threat: ‘Black Identity Extremists’

Oh dear lord. Please let’s not use sexual harassment as an excuse to embrace the pence way

Kyle Griffin
@kylegriffin1
Rep. Rodney Davis says female members of his staff are concerned that some congressional offices may not hire women as way to avoid sexual harassment issues. "Obviously that's not the right approach.

Jefferies has counted how many times Sessions has said "I don't recall"

This just happened:

"You said you 'don't recall' 36 times, is that correct?"

"I don't know."

#SessionsHearing

Nope, can't watch it. Just. NO! I tried, I really did but I found myself shouting 'fucking Trumpbuttmonkey liar' and clenching my jaw so hard I thought I'd break teeth.

I'll check in with y'all from time to time and watch Rachel Maddow tonight.

Sessions has not recalled over 85 times in 3 testimonies to Congress. This man isn’t fit to mow my lawn let alone be Attorney General

Holy cow. The FBI is scrutinizing more than 60 money transfers sent by the Russian foreign ministry to its embassies across the globe, most of them bearing a note that said the money was to be used “to finance election campaign of 2016.”

If Sessions isn’t careful, he’ll not be regarded as a ‘witness of truth’. (Although maybe that time is past, anyway.)
