I want to know what this fucking policy is which these assholes

Colored people and especially colored women do not belong in government... she should be ignored and marginalized to the further extent possible

I loath people who promote this idiocy.

This is Jeff sessions America, get used to it or GTFO!

>>129809929
So pretend a white male asked the question, which I do believe also happened, but they didn't get interrupted.

Why won't they provide the statute, and why didn't he bother to bring it in the folder full of shit he brought with him, when he knew he would use it as a defense multiple times?

>>129809085
I watched Kamala Harris today live during the hearing

She may be the biggest cunt in the senate

Also who the fuck does Ron Wyden think he is?


And Tom Cotton is awesome.

>>129811160
He thought he was a senator investigating a man who keeps refusing to answer questions. And he would be correct.

>>129809085
its not a subpoena so hes under no obligation to give them all the answers

>>129811571
Once he shows up and sits at the table he is in fact required to answer their questions. Volunteering to be there rather than getting a subpoena doesn't change that.

>>129811397

>>129811811
He never used his constitutional right, he used a fake DOJ statute that nobody has proven exists.

>>129811965
He used it you just don't see it that way

>>129812103
You have to audibly invoke it.

Just like he can't keep saying that he has to run something by the president first so that he can decide if he wants to allow him to say it. If the president didn't say so ahead of time then he's required to answer.

>>129812231
required by who or what?

The LAW.

The Congress has a right and responsibility of oversight.

We are a nation of laws, correct? These fuckers ran on LAW and ORDER.

>>129812631
Yeah by feigning forgetfulness, sure. Sessions nailed it.

>>129812753
Not a grand jury. You retard read the fucking laws. The law also says you can keep your mouth shut.

He didn't invoke the 5th.

And, you should read the Constitution, dickless.

>>129812785
These illiterate retards never even heard of the Star Chamber, so what the fuck do they know about the 5th Amendment?

"B-but they must be COMPELLED TO CONFESS! JAIL THEM UNTIL THEY DO!"

>>129813212
He didn't need to invoke it he was apparently giving answers just not the ones you wanted.
> feigning forgetfulness
is what your ally said so he just said he forget, didn't need to invoke it but actually did because this man is a better lawyer than you and probably understands what is happening a lot more than you.

>>129813755
He was claiming two different things. Executive privilege, and then some DOJ statute where he doesn't have to answer a question related to the executive branch.

Executive privilege wasn't invoked, so that's irrelevant.

The other one is not disclosed as to its wording or purpose so they should have held him in contempt since he knew they would want to know after the previous hearing.

They should put heavy stones on him till he confesses to colliding with Soviet Union.

>>129809085
He did answer her questions though. But she tries to set an agenda and get whoever she doesn't like to admit or deny whatever it is that she want to use against them by her "YES OR NO!?!" Bullshit. Anyone past 5 years of age knows that most answers are not a simple yes or no.

Yeah fuck that motherfucker sessions not answering those loaded questions he should have just said
>what difference does it make.

>>129814520
He's a rambler because he doesn't like to answer direct and matter-of-factly. It's an old and proven tactic to avoid perjuring yourself.

The only people who allow his rambling are conservatives who ask him softball questions.

>>129814911
The only people who ask loaded questions as the great Senator Kamala are people with an agenda who are trying to profit through the degradation of someone else.

One, if you don't like the answer. Tough fucking luck. It is the answer, and your free to ask another question. Not simply make implications and "bitchy black sassy lady" faces because you so stronk.

Half of her questions in almost all the proceeding except for the Comey one (which she thought she was profiting from) havn't even been anything someone could reasonably answer.
It's more like bullshit gossip.

"Do you think that MR. TRUMP feels like so and so would be cool?!? YES OR NO! YES OR NOR ANSWER THE QUESTION!" HMMMMMMM....ILL TAKE THAT AS I WANT TOO AND MAKE A SASSY FACE AT THE CAMERA TOO"

>>129815361
She didn't ask him a single loaded question. If he was innocent he could have simply answered her directly instead of rambling and wavering with irrelevant information to avoid the points at hand.

>>129815558
It was a yes or no question: Did you ask for the statute you would use in your defense today?

The answer was "no" because he couldn't provide it. But he wanted to ramble and say "we talked about it" which is not the answer.

>>129809085
freedom of speech

damn it feels good to be (confederate) american

Do you think your boss likes random employee number 9? Do you think he's going to fire him? Do you think they are fucking each other in the closet?

YES OR NO YES OR NO NOW!!!!


Hmmmmm.....I'll take that as a Yes or No..

for you. its not the answer you wanted I said this like 3 posts ago.
Hillary didn't get in trouble, Bush didn't get in trouble, the real Clinton didn't get in trouble. These people don't get in trouble.

>>129816823
The answer someone wants is irrelevant. Why is this so hard for you?

This defense was used with Coats and Rogers, which not even Burr was satisfied with. So the INTELLIGENCE APPROACH would then be for anyone else who wished to use this defense to actually LOOK UP THE STATUTE and bring it in writing for the congressional panel to see and to understand. Not to mention the American people to understand.

Her question was not unreasonable. Why did he not ask for the statute before coming so that he could appear legitimate and honest? Because he appeared the exact opposite.

>>129817218
>Why did he not ask for the statute before coming so that he could appear legitimate and honest?
Sessions knows probably because he understands what he is doing better than you maybe? Maybe it was just stupidity on his part? Maybe he forgot.

>>129818605
When you have multiple senators telling you that your defense is running thin when you can't provide evidence that it exists, including Republican ones, then it's time to put up or shut up.

If he doesn't want to answer the question he needs to man up and plead the 5th, or have Trump impose executive privilege. Neither of which happened.

Muh Constitution sez sessions has to answer muh Russian questions

Fuck them. Congress is an equal partner with the Executive Branch.

They don't get to demand shit from Cabinet members and treat them like shit.

and then it ended and now its over and we can all talk about how upset we are about things that didnt happen. or we can acknowledge nothing happened and this was blown out of proportion for media coverage numbers.

>>129809085
It's not a statute, it's just internal department procedure. The Justice Department is under the Executive branch and is therefore under the command of the President. Unless there is a congressional mandate for the Justice Department to act in a certain manner, they can do whatever they want internally to fulfill their function. She was asking if he read the literal document describing internal procedure. Her raking Sessions over the coals repeatedly asking this was actually pretty stupid.

>>129809085
These are long standing doj policies that people forgot existed over the last 8 years.
And kamala knew he wouldn't answer but she wanted people like you to take the bait. And you did.

>>129820465
Or we can do what you're doing and pretend nothing happened and not push government officials to either answer questions or provide the statute for which they're refusing.

>>129822427
>>129821256
That's bullshit and you know it. Sessions came completely unprepared to defend the defense he would use because it probably doesn't exist.

>>129824216
If it doesn't exist then how was their a precedent for previous attorney generals using the same defense? Maybe I'm confusing it with the allowing presidential privilege defense

Koko Harris needs to grow an afro! Because she's a SASSY black woman!!

>>129824216
>Sessions came completely unprepared
And? Is this illegal even if it's actually true? Not that preparedness is a measurable quantity. In any case I'm pretty sure the specific document that crazy ape was screeching about was not an actual law but more like "recommended internal procedure".

>>129812231
>you have to audibly invoke it

That sounds like bullshit to me. I don't have to audibly invoke anything before exercising my second ammendment rights on people.
