Jeff Sessions Lied To The Senate So Prosecute Him

If some kid steals a beer, he is prosecuted.

Lying to the Senate during confirmation is a crime.

When will charges be filed, and by whom?

Justice or a joke.

We all know the answer to that one.

When it is a Republican, it is not a crime.

Just ask Bush/Cheney.

Claim is no one can know what he really talked about and his statement is too ambiguous. Former Assistant Dir. to FBI said he will not be charged with perjury.
