John Cornyn defends Sessions: "I don't accept that as true" #PecanSandies #FudgeStripes

[Miles Archer]

Even after Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Thursday recused himself from any investigations into possible links between Trump’s campaign and the Russian government, GOP senators said questions of Cabinet members’ dishonesty were overblown. Several senators outright rejected the notion that Sessions and fellow Trump nominees Scott Pruitt, Tom Price and Steven Mnuchin had given misleading answers on Capitol Hill.

“I don’t accept that as true,” Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas) said, rejecting the idea that any of Trump’s Cabinet picks had misled the public. “You’re just making this up as you go along?” he asked, before quickly turning and walking into his office.

1. That is all he has to say for half of America to say "yep, liberals just making it all up"

Investigations and evidence will NOT matter, do we get that yet?

2. Denial isn't just a river in Egypt

Jefferson Beauregardovich Sessions' time in the Senate buys him a lot of good will from his fellow good old boys.

Shocked am I!

4. All members of the White House Klavern?

I wish I could say that I am shocked.

5. What he "accepts" as true is irrelevant.

As more facts come out, whether he accepts them or not won't matter. It will be a choice between doing his constitutionally required job, or sticking to his partisan position and going down with the ship.
