From the recordings I've seen of Sessions being interviewed for AG, he was not asked if he had spoken with the Russians as the news reports I've heard are saying. He was asked "If there is any evidence that any one affiliated with the Trump Campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of that campaign, what will you do?"
Instead of answering the question he was asked, Sessions offered the intel that he had NOT talked to the Russians when, in fact, as has now been disclosed, he HAD.
Jeepers. Talk about sounding like a five year lying to his mama.
