Jeff Sessions’s Worst Week In Washington

... the Trump campaign and Russian intelligence officials. “It struck me very hard, and that's what I focused my answer on. In retrospect, I should have slowed down and said I did meet one Russian official a couple of times.”. Yes, you should have. And it seems odd that Sessions simply forgot — because he was flustered by Franken's question — that not only had he met with a Russian but he had met with the Russian ambassador.

Sessions's next weeks may not be much better. President Trump was reportedly furious about his attorney general's decision to recuse himself, an anger that seemed to prompt a flurry of so-far unsubstantiated tweets from Trump that alleged  then-President Barack Obama had ordered the wiretapping of Trump Tower  during the 2016 campaign. Jeff Sessions, for forgetting the Russian ambassador is, well, Russian, you had the Worst Week in Washington. Congrats, or something. Have a nominee for the person, place or thing that ...
