O’Donnell: Sessions ‘Did Everything Right’ to Make Himself Look Guilty of Perjury

‘He didn’t volunteer to testify to the Judiciary Committee to clear his name’

RUSH EXCERPT:

O'DONNELL: "So you’re the recently confirmed attorney general of the United States and you are suddenly suspected of perjury in your confirmation hearing and you absolutely did not perjure yourself. What do you do? Immediately offer to testify in front of the Senate judiciary Committee to prove you did not commit perjury in your confirmation hearing? And this is important to you as attorney general of the united States because you are going to be overseeing countless perjury prosecutions because you will be seeing perjury prosecutions everyday. Some will need your guidance, most won’t. But when federal prosecutors consult you on perjury prosecutions, you don’t want any of them in that room to be wondering if you yourself are guilty of perjury as they all now have a right to do including the attorney general of Washington, D.C. Who has the authority to prosecute you, the attorney general, for perjury. Jeff Sessions didn’t do that today. He didn’t volunteer to testify to the Judiciary Committee to clear his name. What would you do if if you were suspected of perjury and you knew what you said under oath does fit the legal definition of perjury?"
