    He can cite it - i.e. declare Trump has invoked executive privilege on a particular conversation.

    The difference between comey and sessions is stark. James comey sat still and looked straight ahead. AG sessions is looking around and shuffling in his chair and fixing his tie. This could be a very uncomfortable afternoon for AG Sessions.

    Jaysus this could be a train wreck from Jeff sessions. I have this feeling he's going to put his foot in it.

    Going back a bit when the discussion came up regarding Trump blocking people on Twitter being against the constitution, it appears he's blocked one​ of the largest groups representing vets, despite him apparently campaigning for increased support for them

    Bit partisan from Burr there - That wasn't the additional reason comey said that sessions would recuse himself!! Comey said that other reason was classified.

    So far Jeff sessions has his line of answers set out and will answer the questions regardless.

    Sessions: "I may have had a meeting with Kislyak, but if I did I don't recall it."

    Here's how this is going:

    Q: What colour is the sky?
    A: Football

    Q: What's your favourite food?
    A: Tequila

    Q: Favourite City?
    A: Blue

    He can't answer a straight question.

    This will probably turn out to be the biggest whinge fest of all time over losing an election. Nothing will come of any of this. It will be like trying to nail a jellyfish to the wall.

    Wyden (with the lisp) getting right under Sessions' skin asking about the recusal and Comey, and calling Sessions' desperate attempts not to answer for what they are. For anyone looking for telling highlights, look for that exchange.
