he was honest, the long-winded preamble to franken's question was what sessions addressed.
The longwinded preamble referred to the sleazy debunked lie of the dimocrats regarding the "dossier" about trump with which franken was attempting smear trump
sessions never answered the question itself which no one seemed to notice or care
sessions merely said as a surrogate he did not have some ongoing exchange with the Russians
this was franken's question:
"if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?"
this was the preamble to franken's question:
"CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week that included information that quote, ‘Russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.’ These documents also allegedly say quote, ‘
There was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump's surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.’
sessions said:
"Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities." (the continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump's surrogates and russian intermediaries).
Sessions continued. " I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it." (as a surrogate regarding the campaign)
he wasn't forced to recuse himself for the false claim you base your false assertion upon
there wasn't any single reason sessions recused himself and there weren't any reasons outstanding for the recusal for which a dimocrat a.g. would have done so
sessions had already decided to recuse himself under his honor code if there was evidence of Russian interference in the election due to his overall involvement in the election and campaign
it had nothing to do with some lie about him lying
