Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Sunday said Attorney General Jeff Sessions should testify again before the Senate panel about communications between members of President Donald Trump’s campaign and Russia.

“I’m not going to say whether it was a lie or not,” Feinstein said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

“I think he should come back and clarify it,” she added. “At this stage, he’s got to narrow his recollections. When he comes before the committee again, he has to be precise, and it has to be accurate.”

    From what I’ve read, Sessions will definitely be in the hot seat, but probably not enough for actual perjury charges to be filed.

    He’s a horrible and unfit AG whose only saving grace is that he’s recused (at least officially) from the Russia investigation.

    I think once that investigation winds up, he loses his job. If Trump goes down, he goes down. If Trump survives, he won’t forget, from his standpoint, Session’s disloyalty.

  3. C’mon, how many times and different ways do you want the guy to lie? You’re going to kill him from exhaustion!

  4. Jeff Flake is on this committee. Now would be a good time for him to back up his words with actions. Senator Kennedy is also someone to watch, although his mavericky streak seems limited to financial institutions.

    To paraphrase Tolstoy: truth tellers are all alike, every liar lies in his own unique way…

    Sessions has his style and Trump his own patented way of truth-untelling. Interesting from a psychological standpoint.
