Amazingly, Sessions has never been briefed on the Russian hacking.

Even though all the intelligence agencies said there was interference in our election by Russia, the Attorney General of the United States has never been briefed? Doesn't that sound rather incredible?

Why does he even have a job? Is he there just for show and to do the bidding of Donald Trump? What is his role? Do they really keep him in the dark? Or does he not want to know?

There are more questions than answers after his testimony yesterday.

[Ilsa]

1. He wants to go after medicinal pot retailers and

Growers, and I suppose abortion clinics (what's left of them) are next.

3. He didn't need to be briefed because

He helped to orchestrate it.

[Justice]

4. He already knows what happened.

Doesn't need to be briefed!

[Saboburns]

5. I have been saying the same thing.

Sessions admitted y'day that yes he believes that Russians interfered with 2016 POTUS election. Said so under oath. Then later also said, under oath, that he, ATTORNEY GENERAL OF THE UNITED STATES HAS NOT BEEN BRIEFED ON RUSSIAN INTERFERNCE. It boggles the mind.

And yet, none of the CNN, MSNBC, CBS, ABC, NBC (et al.) News talkers mentioned this point.

Unbelievable to me.

[kentuck]

6. And he is supposed to be one of the permanent members of the National Security Council?

It's unbelievable!

[MichMary]

7. Maybe because he recused himself

from the investigation?

[kentuck]

8. Would that include excluding oneself from all information?

And wasn't he the Attorney General for a while before he recused himself?

[MichMary]

15. No idea how long after he was sworn in

before he recused himself, but I am guessing that he would have requested NOT to be briefed on that investigation for no other reason than that it could have appeared to be improper.

9. republican dereliction of duty

republicans, including Sessions, are letting russia continue to attack American democracy -- according to all 17 of our US Intelligence agencies.

that is a wholesale betrayal of their sworn responsibilities, and of America. republicans will live in infamy for their betrayal of the nation.

13. +1000

10. Amazingly, he can remember all the things that exonerate him and the Orange Buffoon, but

can't recall anything that might incriminate them.

[spanone]

11. sure....

[beachbum bob]

12. that alone is a breath taking revelation and if true, needs to be looked at closer

No way something as severe as a foreign country meddling with internal US elections should NOT be on the top of DOJ's #1 guys desk....unless...like, he was part of it

[kentuck]

14. It appears that Mr Sessions is a legal front for a criminal enterprise.

And serves very little purpose otherwise?

[Nitram]

16. I imagine he was invited to briefings, but chose not to attend.

And he's sticking to the Reagan defense: "I don't remember."
