Lawrence: Jeff Sessions Hits Perjury Trip Wires With New Revelations | The Last Word | MSNBC

Sessions shouldn't be permitted to simply step down! Sessions should be charged with lying under oath, tried, and if found guilty sentenced to prison for committing a felony.

America can not accept having the chief law enforcement officer of the nation willing to commit perjury for any reason!

The federal law against perjury in the U.S. Code classifies perjury as a felony. This means that someone who lies under oath in federal court, or who lies under oath to a person acting on behalf of the federal government may be sentenced to up to five years in jail.

This movie just keeps on getting better and better!

I watched Deliverance when I was a kid in the 70s in Australia. Ever since then, when I hear a southerner, it scares the crap out of me. This guy seems especially scary.

"I never spoke with a Russian I never knew any Russian I never meet any Russians " "oh those Russians " "yeah those but no others "

I think we should confiscate trumps passport, also his family's.

I am so tired of hearing about Hillary. The trump supporters won't leave it alone. We don't care anything about Hillary. Don't even want to hear her name. But they keep using her as a distraction. Can't believe anyone would buy this. Peace

Would Sessions be the first AG to go to jail for being a liar?

Senator Al Franken is a true statesman. Thank you to the people of Minnesota for electing him.

[logirl]

I hope they have Papadopoulos in a secure location.

sessions sold his soul to trump, but nobody walks away from dealings with him, without being burnt :D

"You hereby swear to tell the Truth, the whole Truth, and nothing but the Truth, so help you God?"
Sessions: "So help me God."
I guess that makes Sessions a #FakeChristian

[TheSchmuckLook]

Mr. O'Donnell, sir, are you saying these honorable, patriotic altruistic people who stepped down from much more lucrative careers to serve themselves our country lied through their pearly white teeth? I'm stunned. Stunned.

That 'Nothin' Burger is started to look rather Tasty to us Non-Trumpers!

Jeff Sessions needs to get back up in that tree and make us some cookies, with the rest of the Keebler Elves.

[ThisPageStaysREAL]

LOL, Jeff Sessions isn't tall enough to worry about trip wires.

[Casmaniac]

Politics is so interesting and crazy nowadays I both love it and worry a lot

Dear Mr O’Donnell, This is the best video cast you have ever made to my knowledge. It was balanced, accurate and neutral with the facts speaking for themselves. When a viewer sees a broadcast done in this way it elevates journalism to the level and place it should be: presentation of the news in a fair and even way and it lets the public judge for themselves what is to be believed and what is the truth.

We are going to hear this question in the future, "What did the president know and when did he know it?" Sound familiar to anyone? Sen Howard Baker, Jr asked that during the Watergate investigation.

Lock him up! Lock him up! Lock him up!

So is treason still punishable by death?
