Ex-Attorney General Jeff Sessions is laying down the gauntlet on Trumpworld semantics.
“Hoax…is a strong way to say ‘this is bogus’,” Sessions said at a conference Wednesday that was televised on MSNBC, referring to President Trump’s repeated criticism of the Mueller investigation. “That’s his language and we have gotten used to it,” he added with a shrug.
He’s more on board with Attorney General William Barr’s use of “spying” to describe the FBI’s surveillance activities to suss out if Russians were using the Trump campaign to interfere in the 2016 election.
“I think spying is a perfectly good word,” he said.
Sessions seems to have gotten the memo: “I think spying is a good English word,” said Barr last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Go climb back under your rock in Alabama. What a slime ball Sessions is.
Well, Sessions should know, since what he did to Lambert Mims Bob Gulledge was absolutely legitimate to call a “hoax.”
I think its obvious that there are drafts of the IG report “investigating the investigators” circulating around.
I just can’t figure out what is going on. Is the “spying” stuff another “no collusion, no obstruction” - like move, designed to create a false frame for an IG report that exonerates the intel community?
Or is the “spying” stuff based on the IG report conclusions that are being leaked?
I think racist perjurer are perfectly good English words.
