Day 146:
Sessions didn’t help Trump:
Let me just put this out there first. I don’t trust the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, or any of these other government agencies that seem to have way too much power, and way too little oversight. But when former FBI director James Comey sat before congress and answered questions, it was short, to the point and sounded honest.
When evil cookie elf Jeff Sessions sat before congress and answered questions, it sounded like he was lying through his teeth and using every weasel trick in the book to get out of going to jail.
He made all this shit seem much more likely to be real, he was acting like a man who was trying to avoid incriminating himself. And in general makes the entire business seem much more shady and illegal.
