How does Jeff Sessions square his letter firing Comey with this video

when he defends Comey for doing what he did in October and before?

Googled Image of Sessions Letter:


I note Sessions letter stands behind his deputy's allegations linked here:
http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/09/politics/fbi-james-comey-fired-letter/

Youtube Video from October 2016
Sen. Sessions on the FBI’s new investigation of Clinton’s email case



In that video above, Sessions says:
"He (Comey) had to tell the American people .. rather than keep it secret because if it is different than what he told the congress in his testimony and the American people uh then he had to correct it."

"I didn't like the meeting on the airplane (of Lynch and Clinton) ... it put Comey in a position where he had to make this announcement..."

"... And now he's (Comey) stepped up and done what his duty is I think"

"He's got evidence to go forward now with further criminal investigation. He has no other responsibility than to follow that and then tell the American people what he is doing.

"I think it's significant. Otherwise, he wouldn't have done it."


How do you keep a two faced, lying sack of shit like Sessions (who already perjured himself on Russia) as Attorney General of the United States when by basically his own admission in prior statements (above), blatantly conjures up contradictory bullshit to fire the FBI Director who is investigating him and his boss for their ties to Russians that messed with the general election?

This is way beyond Watergate.

They have already demonstrated on numerous occasions that they do not need to reconcile any past statements or commitments with any decisions they make today.

SAD!!!

Replace Comey's name with his and FBI with DOJ and it would be correct.
