"No reason to doubt" is NOT the same as "I believe them".

Yes it is.  What he's saying is, what they've asserted is true.

Yes it is.  What he's saying is, what they've asserted is true.

The thing about Sessions which makes this bigger than some realize, is this is his district and his seat. He knows Moore more than anyone else coming out so far and has worked with him for decades. He knows the proverbial 'skeletons in the closet'.

This would have been the time to defend him along the lines of: "I know Moore, this is out of his nature, these attacks are political mud" or something like that. Instead, he takes the side of the accuser in a very measured way.

Very telling.

Bullshit!!! 100% USDA Choice!  Grade A!

The Moore accuser Leigh Corfman who says she was 14 when Moore assaulted her, is also known as a serial accuser and financial grifter. Not particularly credible.

Deb Wesson Gibson is a Dem party hacktivist who supports Moore's opponent and has spewed hate against Moore on her FB. Not particularly credible.

Wendy Miller claims that Moore asked her mother if he could date her while she was underage. Nothing more beyond the accusation. Not particularly credible.

Gloria Deason was 18 when they went out, but claims he bought her alcohol when she was 18 and the drinking age was 19. How convenient. Not particularly credible.

The latest accuser Beverly Young Nelson says she is a Trump supporter, but her voter registration is inactive. That already draws her testimony under suspiciion. Other parts of her story are in question.

The 'hanging around the mall' story is all second hand rumor. No one involved directly seems to cooberate.

THAT is also BS!  All Jeff sessions is saying here is that he has not looked into the matter and has no opinion on it one way or the other!

I have more reason to doubt anything from Sessions.   His favor of expanding CAF  far and above constitutional limits disqualifies him from any courtesy of his opinion on anything that matters.
