They should have these guys hooked up to polygraphs while answering questions.

I hope someone asks him if he feels he's qualified for his current position.

Holy cow. Most of the GOP aren't even asking him anything. They're just lining up to make arguments in his behalf.

What the hell is the point of this? They're supposed to be each asking questions geared towards completing their investigation, but instead they're just acting like witnesses for the defense.

I love how Session keeps on giving quick and concise answers to GOP softball questions but goes to an incoherent rambling mess whenever questioned by a Democrat.

It's like this testimony was all rehearsed for once side.

I can't believe nobody asked him if he offered to resign or if Trump asked him to resign.

The way Harris is treated differently than all of her male colleagues really appalling. Part of it is that she's really damn smart. Totally had Sessions on the ropes, and Burr rung the bell after letting others go well over time.

This exchange between two old men is hurting my brain.

McCain looks like he's 105 years old now, and Sessions doesn't understand what he's asking. Painful.

Well this has been a pretty big waste of time. Either can't recall things or refuses to answer others.

Surprised Tom Cotton didn't give him a hug on the way out.

Kamala Harris‏@KamalaHarris

It was a simple question. Can Sessions point to the policy, in writing, that allows him to not answer a whole host of our questions today.

Today's hearing was pretty much exactly what Trump's entire presidency has been: a giant waste of time sandwiched in between two huge slices of wtf.

I've been thinking this for months, and apparently I'm not the only one. And it seems very fitting for sessions.... Like spot on, Sessions actually is this IRL, and probably loves the character as well not realizing it's actually satire.

How can someone so clueless make it this far, and this high into government?

Wait, never mind. Donald Trump is president.

Sessions refusing to answer a bunch of questions because he's "protecting Trump's right to assert executive privilege" is ludicrous.

GOP is insane to accept this argument given that the president has to assert that right, not Sessions.

Does anyone actually expect anything out of any hearings or inquiries in the US? It's all political theatre designed to give a sense of legitimate democracy. People just talk and it goes on TV and citizens feel a sense of accountability/consequence.
