I wanted to embed the Kamala Harris questioning because I loved how unrelenting she was in trying to get Sessions to tell the truth.
And this is my favorite part of her questioning.
Earlier in the hearing Sessions called any accusation that he helped or was aware of any collusion with the Russians an "appalling and detestable lie":
"Further, I have no knowledge of any such conversations by anyone connected to the Trump campaign," Sessions said. "The suggestion that I participated in any collusion or that I was aware of any collusion with the Russian government to hurt this country, which I have served with honor for 35 years, or to undermine the integrity of our democratic process, is an appalling and detestable lie."
Sessions also refused to talk about any of this conversations with Trump:
Sessions confirmed that he had left Comey on his own with Trump in the Oval Office alone February 14, though declined to say whether he was ordered to do so by the President citing the need to keep his conversations with him private. He also said that Comey had later told him he was concerned about the meeting, but he did not say that something improper occurred.
Oddly enough Sessions also claimed that he had never been briefed on the Russian hacking:
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said during new sworn testimony that he has never received a briefing on Russian attempts to interfere in the 2016 U.S. election.
"It appears so, the intelligence community seems to be united in that," Sessions said Tuesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee, in response to a question from Maine Senator Angus King about whether Russia worked to influence the election. "But I have to tell you Senator King, I know nothing but what I've read in the paper. I've never received any detailed briefing on how hacking occurred or how information was alleged to have influenced the campaign."
King asked Sessions, now the top law enforcement officer in the country, to confirm that he never received any briefing on the Russian measures in the election. "No, I don't believe I ever did," Sessions replied.
Now either Attorney General Jeff Sessions just perjured himself, or he is completely unfit for the position of Attorney General, because it would seem to be impossible for an AG to do their job without having many substantive briefings on the fact that the Russian government hacked into our election in an attempt to manipulate the results.

Kamala Harris tore Sessions a new one today and he got his tiny little elfin feelings hurt, which inspired John McCain, who is not a member of this committee, to ride to his rescue.I love this song. #SessionsHearing http://pic.twitter.com/CejALVymeT— Philip Lewis (@Phil_Lewis_) June 13, 2017
