Скользкий Сешнс
Click to viewПоказания Джефа Сешнса в среду на слушаниях в юридической комиссии Сената запомнились его обменом репликами с Алом Франкеном по поводу вранья о встречах с Кисляком.
Just Security документирует то, как Сешнс с течением времени и появлением новых свидетельств менял показания и «отодвигал ворота».
As discussed above, Sessions now denies only that his conversations with Russian officials concerned election interference. But that is not the question. The question has become whether Sessions discussed any campaign matters with Russian officials. He has thus changed his story significantly. In his press statement (on March 2, 2017) and his supplemental testimony (on March 6, 2017) he denied his conversations with Russian officials related to any campaign matters.
In Sessions’ favor, his spokesperson is correct that his most recent Senate testimony denied these conversations were about election interference. But that also gets Sessions in deeper water in another respect. Reflecting back on that testimony (on June 13) in light of what we now know (due to the Post‘s July 21 story), Sessions gave the appearance that he was still denying the conversations concerned the campaign-but his carefully prepared remarks instead had shifted in what many will see as deceit or obfuscation.

После Франкена вопрос Сешнсу задавал республиканский сенатор из Небраски Бен Сасс. Вопрос был про то, каким убразом Министерство юстиции собирается противостоять новым попыткам российского вмешательства в американские выборы. Сешнс не смог дать вразумительного ответа.
In short, the attorney general of the United States, though acknowledging and expressing confidence in the intelligence community’s assessment of foreign interference in the 2016 election and admitting that the government isn’t doing enough to guard against such activity in the future, could not identify a single step his department is taking or should take in that direction. He could not suggest a proactive role the department might play against foreign information operations. He could not even identify a policy review currently underway on the subject, though he agreed that one was appropriate. He could not identify legislation that might be helpful. And he could not name any departmental activity, beyond the FBI’s having capabilities, in support of states that might be targeted in upcoming elections.
