Attorney General Jeff Sessions snapped at Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) during a hearing of the Senate Intelligence Committee Tuesday, saying the pace of her questioning made him nervous, and that she would accuse him of lying if he was not given time to qualify his answers.
“As it relates to your knowledge, Did you have any communication with any Russian businessmen or any Russian nationals?” Harris asked Sessions.
“I don’t believe I had any conversation with Russian businessmen or Russian nationals—” Sessions began in response.
Harris interjected: “Are you aware of any communications —
“— although a lot of people were at the convention it’s conceivable that somebody —” Sessions continued, before Harris spoke again
“Sir, I have just a few—” she began.
“Will you let me qualify it!” Sessions said, voice raised. “If I don’t qualify it, you’ll accuse me of lying. So I need to be as correct as best I can—”
“I do want you to be honest,” Harris said
“—and I’m not able to be rushed this fast. It makes me nervous,” Sessions said.

Lordy, she was making him sweat and rightly so. But once again, she got gaveled into silence. Yet Beauregard was allowed to ramble aimlessly for each question.
Holy Shit. McCain must have had a good night’s sleep. He’s actually going after the Alabama Asshole
Jefferson Beauregard must be a state of complete “nervous” shock, assuming as he did that all “uppity” people (especially wimmin) had been removed from the gubmint by President Trump’s election “victory.” Why, she even dared to look him in the eye, and cut him off!
You are not white so you should show more respect for a white man from Bama.
Questioning from a former state’s attorney general makes the US Attorney General nervous??
Perhaps he should consider another line of work.
We’d all be better off.
