Sessions clashes with Franken over Russia claim: 'Give me a break'

By Brooke Singman, Fox News

Attorney General Jeff Sessions publicly and repeatedly clashed with Democratic Sen. Al Franken on Wednesday after being pressed over the accuracy of past testimony regarding his communications with the Russians during the 2016 presidential campaign.

In one of several testy exchanges Sessions had with Democratic senators during testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Franken, D-Minn., grilled the attorney general and suggested his explanations have changed.

“The goal post has been moved. First it was ‘I did not have communications with Russians’ – which was not true. Then it was ‘I never met with Russians to discuss any political campaign’ –  which may or may not be true. Now it is ‘I did not discuss interference in the campaign’ which further narrows your initial blanket denial about meeting with the Russians,” Franken said.

Al Franken is a clown. A real, honest to goodness, clown. I can't look at the guy without seeing Stuart Smalley.


How anyone in the Senate or in the Media can look at him with a straight face is amazing to me. To see him sitting on a serious panel and 'questioning' real, powerful, serious, people, with huge great achievements to their name, it is like some kind of parallel universe. It is like a crazy SNL skit.


I couldn't do it. I couldn't be questioned by Stuart Smalley. Every time he asked me a question, I would have to laugh and ask, 'Are you serious? Is this really happening?'
