Could there be a bombshell in the Jeff Sessions testimony today?

After all, he has had time to look at the parody of the Cabinet meeting and to see his "team" at a distance. Perhaps he might see his boss in a different perspective?

Sessions may feel threatened by the recent revelations about another meeting with the Russians and what Comey may have told the Committee in closed session? There may have been something very devastating about him?

He might be ready to come clean and tell the truth? Trump is not going to protect him. Maybe he will realize that soon enough to escape conviction?

If I were a betting man, he would be first person Mueller will charge with any criminality? Jeffery Beaureguard is standing on shaky ground. He might understand the situation he is in?

Sessions is a good little Nazi. He'll tow the line completely. He's not bright enough, nor flexible enough, to take a step back and reassess. Don't get your hopes up.

Cheeto owns him.

He will say nothing that hasn't been approved by cheeto's gang.

In fact, look for sessions to throw Comey under the bus and maybe even deny his conversations with Comey (don't ever leave alone with him"....etc).

As much as I'd love one, I think there will be a lot of talking points and non-answers.

J. B. S. can prove me wrong any time he likes.

that indicates the Confederates DID win. It's all very confusing to me living in this alternative world.

I think he's going to evoke executive privilege if they ask him about any conversations with degenerate donnie regarding the Comey firing but that's about it.

Zero chance of him saying anything, let alone lying.

I think Trump ordered him to make sure that he cleared his Blessed Leader's name.
