Of course, just how Fox actually spins this doesn't matter. Anyone who saw Sessions on the evening news and won't accept that he screwed himself over would grab onto any line that denied it.

(5,995 posts)Silencing Warren reinforced his delusion, but his lawyer brain has atrophied and he didn't think he was at risk.
WJC lawyered up for Ken Starr's grilling, but the less than judicial climate before Congress was only concerned with appearances. That's a lesson Sessions is learning the hard way.

Douchey argument itself really mocks Sessions (he is a lawyer) but the point their viewers were supposed to take away was that it was a long hard question. The viewer then fills in Session's victim status themselves.

(34,135 posts)What Al should have asked was, "Now, Jeff, if any of you and Donnie's buddies talked to the Russkis about this campaign, what would y'all do?"
Then old Beauregard might have understood what that Yankee Al was trying to say better and not have gotten all confused about it - and let things slip he didn't mean to say.

an attorney general can't keep his stories and lies straight - blame the jew who asked him a question.

These are the voters that would vote for Trump and or back Trump if he stood up and said..I am a member of the Nazi Party..The people that want to hear this shit,they crave this shit and they believe and will broadcast facts like" it is the Democrats that want to destroy our Democracy".They will support these anti-American news broadcasts like Limbaaugh and Hannity and idiots like this and close their ears to actual facts that prove them wrong....This is the republican ideology
Think our Democracy is safe...Think again There are those that would rather see a dictatorship than to have Democrats in charge..Think we are safe from another election theft? Think again

Franken did not ask him if he had contact with the Russians so why did he answer that question?
