During his confirmation hearing, Sessions was asked one question but answered another, and in so doing, did not tell the truth. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) asked Sessions, “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 a prospective question, with Franken asking the likely next attorney general how he would handle such allegations if intelligence officials produced such evidence. Sessions chose to answer it this way: “I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign, and I did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it.”
In der Anhörung wurde der jetzige Justizminister Sessions - ein tragendes Mitglied der Trump/Bannon-Bewegung - gefragt, was er künftig tun würde, gäbe es den Verdacht eines Treffens von Trump-Leuten mit Russen.
Geantwortet hat er auf eine nicht-gestellte Frage bezügl. seiner Vergangenheit:
Er habe kein Treffen ("no commuications") mit Russen gehabt. Und er könne auf die Frage (die nicht gestellt worden war) nicht antworten.
Das stinkt!!!!
