text: Trump-bots outnumber informed objective commentators on the boards today. They must have been expecting more vocal condemnation of Sessions, Trump, and the sordid swamp they are mired in. The swamp that was supposed to be cleaned up, but that Trump repurposed as a spa.
  
  I didn't watch the testimony, but it seems to have played out just as I would have expected. Sessions fumed with faux-indignation, and would refuse to answer any questions that didn't give him the opportunity to slip in a slight against Comey.
  
  The investigative panel seems to have been rather impatient with Sessions, clearly sensing the mendacity and duplicity in his responses. It sounds like Sessions fumbled a little too much, and protested a little too much, about his role and rationale for firing Comey.
  
  It is simply inconceivable that Comey's firing would be linked to the Clinton email investigation, at this time, by the Trump administration or anyone in it. Sessions did not provide an acceptable answer. Period.
