text: [He has since maintained that he misunderstood the scope of the question and that his meetings with Kislyak were strictly in his capacity as a U.S. senator. In a March appearance on Fox television, Sessions said, "I don't recall any discussion of the campaign in any significant way."]
  IIRC I commented on how implausible Sessions was when he said that.  What I didn't recognize until recently is how his revisions were a precursor to a practice that is rampant in the Trump administration.  1st: "That didn't happen."
  2nd: "It was appropriate/innocent."
  3rd: "I misunderstood/He's ignorant."
  Just off the top of my head is Jr.s emails for Hillary information, Trump's disclosure of sensitive information to Russians, the firing of Comey, Session's confirmation hearings, Kushner's security clearance application, and going all the way back to Flynn's campaign discussions.
  Is this administration just not capable of saying anything truthful without essentially pulling teeth?
