What specifically are the most important questions Sessions refused to answer? Just want to get a sense of what we think Sessions is hiding here.

I should have clarified - there is no law preventing Sessions from answering the question or compelling him to answer the question. Therefore, not answering is a bad look, especially when others have done the same. Nobody wants to talk about conversations with the President.

Repeat after me:

ATTORNEY

CLIENT

PRIVILEGE

He is not obligated to disclose his conversations with the President. Imagine requiring a City Attorney to disclose his or her conversations with a Mayor.

there is likely a DOJ/governmental policy about it

if not, there are clear professional/ethical issues involved

the only thing the DEMs are attempting today: optics

get them soundbites for "Gotcha" arguments and witty social media posts by people who had never heard of "Executive privilege" before they read about it on Vox/Salon

Sessions is making Harris look like a McCarthyite bitch.

Corey Booker is so mad right now that he's getting out-progressive'd by Kamala Harris right now.

Sessions does not have to disclose his prep sessions with his lawyers. Another attorney client privilege.

Please let this happen. People will vote for a woman but they will not vote for a shrill woman like Harris.

Who knows if there's anything to hide, but it's not a good look to refuse to answer a question with no legal basis.

I agree, but it will get lost in everything else. But it is telling on how team trump works.

Harris trying to act like she is the prosecutor and not a Senator. Couldn't be any more obvious she is running for President.

I look forward to reading her latest fundraising email.

I can't stand this witch Kamala Harris' voice.

and Sessions is not my fav person--- esp regarding pot laws and he reminds me of this guy if he was gay



but I don't think Sessions is a KGB spy and I think that he is a good man.
