Jul 19, 2017
In an astonishing interview with the New York Times, Trump said if knew Sessions would recuse himself in the Russia probe, he'd have picked a different Attorney General. Lawrence O'Donnell explains this is a "signal" from Trump about the unfolding investigation.

What possible value could there be in a Sessions testimony?

(51,129 posts)2. Sessions can convict Trump in an impeachment proceeding.
If we get there, but Trump's resignation may be only days away at this point.

(18,837 posts)3. But my question is if he can, why would he?
He can simply choose not to, regardless of the facts...correct?

(4,341 posts)5. Will Jeff Sessions agree with Trump?
I would not doubt it...they are all in so much trouble that their only plan can be to lie and all be on the same lies.
Does Lawrence O'Donnell think that any of these GOP politicians have any principles? They may eat each other out of vengeance, then throw each other under the bus, but not out of principle or an ideal of upholding the truth. We shall see.
