As expected, after the damning (subjective) testimony of former FBI director, Jim Comey, AT Jeff Sessions stonewalled, refusing to specifically answer Senator’s questions claiming he was protecting the “executive privilege” of the president, a feeble excuse as this committee was formed to investigate whether or not the serving president is fit to serve as the commander-in-chief. Furthermore, Trump was installed by the people as were senators, and they/we demand to know of any illegal or compromising, to the national interest, behavior of ANY elected official.

CLEARLY in these circumstances stonewalling is completely UNACCEPTABLE and the people know it.
"I am protecting the right of the President to assert [executive privilege] if he chooses, and there may be other privileges that apply," Sessions responded. "At this point I believe it's premature for me to deny the President a full and intelligent choice about executive privilege."The besieged twitter president of course accused Comey of lying and referred to White House tapes as evidence, which practice, recording all conversations, has been standard practice for decades in the White House.
In response senator Ron Wyden went on the attack: "Americans don't want to hear that answers to relevant questions are privileged or off limits," he said. "We are talking about an attack on our democratic institutions and stonewalling of any kind is unacceptable."
