AG of the United States Walked into a Perjury Trap

This means even if he is not a criminal, he is too dumb to be AG.

The only people who think we need a dumb attorney general are Trump's self styled outlaw base. The ones who think treason, pussy grabbing and tax dodging are good old fashioned American values, and who do not want to get caught and prosecuted.

I wanna know how do we get a special prosecutor, is it up to Session's assistant?

If so, nothing will be done.

These are not patriots, the rule of law means absolutely nothing to them.

It would be impossible to catch them in a trap. They're the ones who set traps that others fall into. They're the best!

Hopefully enough to truly drain the swamp.

Oh Lord, how much fun must it be for the Obama faithful to watch these folks scamper about, scared shitless about what else is known, and what they've already said.

Have we heard from Mitch today, for example? How about our pristine VP?

Let's not make the mistake of thinking they have a strategy or are coordinated. They don't and they aren't.

...into making a false statement under oath, often about something that isn't germane to the subject of the questioning, which can then be used as a pretext for prosecution.

Where was the maneuvering? He shoveled horseshit in the face of on-topic questions.

What piece am I missing?

That is how they will seek to excuse it. But even if you believe that Sessions did not take part in a criminal conspiracy the fact that he did not tell the truth makes it stupid (and criminal).

He stumbled in his reply to Al, and if you wanted to hear it that way, one could argue that he used a double negative.

How embarrassing for our country that the attorney general is such a poor quality lawyer and total hypocrite. Another sad example of what Republicans have to offer.
