Never forget that he stood up and did this...

[MrScorpio]

His lies by omission were much more than just "errors," he had committed the crime of perjury in sworn testimony.

What aren't the GOPrs making this distinction?

[tblue37]

1. K&R for visibility! nt

[JustAnotherGen]

2. My guesses - three things

White male republican - that's why they are ignoring the crime

[randome]

6. White, male, CHRISTIAN Republican.

15. no better time than to use

the term Xtian because being a Christian is the furthest thing from his mind.

[JustAnotherGen]

16. Yep - you are right

I fucked up!

[LakeArenal]

24. Christian.. Ha ha hah ha....

25. If Sessions resigned he'd have time to prepare his criminal defence. . . nt

5. His fellow GOP rats are aware of this and have started leaping from the ship.

[FSogol]

7. RESIGN

8. Not omission, it was willful and unforced lying, Here's video of Sessions in the act of Lying to the

Senate.

[lagomorph777]

10. Thank you that is exactly it!

[FailureToCommunicate]

20. "Not omission, it was willful and unforced lying"

Yes! This needs to be repeated over and over and louder than their weaseling response that Sessions didn't actually talk about anything substantial at those meetings (that didn't happen)

[Snarkoleptic]

9. Maybe his equilibrium was a bit off

and he meant to have his arm tilted forward a bit more?

[Raster]

11. Lock HIM Up!!! Lock HIM Up!!! Lock HIM Up!!! Lock HIM Up!!! Lock HIM Up!!! Lock HIM Up!!!

Lock HIM Up!!! Lock HIM Up!!! Lock HIM Up!!! Lock HIM Up!!! Lock HIM Up!!! Lock HIM Up!!! Lock HIM Up!!!

[Canoe52]

12. But lying about a blow job is so much worse!!!

[luvMIdog]

13. I think expecting GOPers to care is equivalent

to expecting Scientologists to realize they've been brainwashed and duped

[C_U_L8R]

14. And later he did this...

Lord knows where he found a flame-retardant bible.

[Mr. Ected]

17. He was asked a question under oath. He said "no". The answer should have been "yes"

No matter his intention, his interpretation, or his subsequent backpeddling, he perjured himself. The content is irrelevant, at least with respect to his breach of federal law regarding perjury.

[Initech]

19. They don't care. They only care about getting power and keeping it.

[SHRED]

21. He thought he was saluting.

[malthaussen]

22. What "lies by omission" are we talking about?

His lies of commission are enough to warrant firing and prosecution.

[Caliman73]

26. True. It seems people are confused about "omission"

Omission means that you did not provide information that was relevant. A lie of omission would be:

Panel: Please tell us about your activities during the campaign, where there any communications with foreign governments.
Sessions: During the campaign I spoke with many people and I managed the fundraising activities in the Southern part of the country.

Sessions knows he spoke with foreign governments but he failed to disclose in response to an open ended question about the subject.

In this case Sessions stated actively, that he had no contact with Russians. That was a direct lie not a lie of omission. He actively mislead the Panel about his contact with the Russians not by omitting that he had them, but by actively stating that he did not.

[raven mad]

27. For old Jeffbo?

It wouldn't be the first time.

Sessions, go back to your dogpatch. (I'm not downing Alabama - my daughter and granddaughter and granddaughter-to-be live there, as I did for a number of years.

But the GOP there operates their own kind of dogpatch, and never bothers to clean up the shit in the dog yard.
