Wiretapping allegations accomplished what Trump wanted -- but may backfire bigly

6. With his response to the comments & question Franken asked taken in context, he'll be fine...

Franken: "CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week that included information that quote, ‘Russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.’ These documents also allegedly say quote, ‘There was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump's surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.’

"Now, again, I'm telling you this as it's coming out, so you know. But if it's true, it's obviously extremely serious and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?"

Sessions: "Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it."

He will simply say that he was referring to Franken's opening comment re:CNN, and meant that he, WHEN HE WAS A SURROGATE, did not have conversations with the Russians.

Nothing will happen other then he'll put in a written explanation, and his recusion from future related investigaions.
