  1. I am trolling quoting Jeff Flake back to himself.
    “I was pleased to cast my vote to confirm Jeff Sessions as our next Attorney General. While we may not agree on every issue, he is a good man who has always been courteous and thoughtful during our time as colleagues in the Senate. I am confident that he will apply the law, respect the Constitution, and work to keep the country safe.” </i.

    Hmmm. His spokeswoman told the @washingtonpost he couldn’t remember what was discussed

    1. Kennedy, who grew up in a rich family, went to Harvard, served in the Navy in WW II, was a congressman and then a senator, and lived in a Georgetown townhouse, was a "threat to the establishment"? He freakin' was the establishment. Yes he was a Catholic and that was once exclusionary, just as being from Queens once reduced Trump to aspirational status in Manhattan.

      As president Kennedy cut taxes, ignored the civil rights movement until MLK shamed him into acknowledging it, let the CIA dick around with Castro until it blew back in face at the Bay of Pigs, committed the US to a terrible war in Vietnam, and horse-traded bases in Iran to get the Soviet missiles out of Cuba. These are things the establishment (now rebranded as The Deep State©) always wants the president to do.

  3. “I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn’t have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it,” Mr. Sessions said at the time.

    However, Justice officials acknowledged that Mr. Sessions had spoken with Mr. Kislyak twice: once, among a group of ambassadors who approached him at a Heritage Foundation event during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July and, separately, in an office meeting on Sept. 8. The contacts were first reported by The Washington Post.

    Sarah Isgur Flores, Mr. Sessions’s spokeswoman, said “there was absolutely nothing misleading about his answer” because he did not communicate with the ambassador in his capacity as a Trump campaign surrogate. She said Mr. Sessions had at least 25 conversations in 2016 with ambassadors from a range of nations — including Britain, Japan, China, Germany and Russia — while on the Senate Armed Services Committee.

    Um, "did not have communications" is not the same as "I did not speak to Russians in my role as a Trump campaign surrogate," asshole…
