so the written question is different than the oral one?

about the 2016 election

kills the argument right here as there are no records (that we know of) of the conversations.

I feel its way too easy to deflect the oral answer by a *out of context* defense.
Im reading about it and watching the news and to me its not clear.
I just want to add that whatever brings these guys down is good to me but I feel a fail here.

I do have a hard time imagining he'd be replaced with anyone better, but, can't go much further down.

Things Sessions stood for / stands for:

Iraq War
Anti-Immigration
Border Wall
Torture
Civil Forfeiture
Banning gay marriage via constitutional amendment
The Drug War

Get him out anyway possible, indeed.

He's also anti-voting rights.

Flynn's departure resulted in a much-better choice for National Security Advisor. Here's another situation where you can't do much worse.

If nothing happens here I think it's safe to call game over on how I thought our government was supposed to work. A total sham. Maybe it's already over, and maybe I was really naive in the first place, I don't know. Feeling like literally anything is possible now.

Kinda feel like we should all be taking advantage of our second amendment rights while we still have them, but that's an emotional reaction.

man this is bad Im watching cnn and the old guy speaking now,his argument to make sessions resign:

did u ask *about the 2016* election?
yes but come on we are all grown up here he was at the republican convention what are they gonna discuss there?? (quote word for word as I heard it)

I cant believe the guy (senator) wouldnt come up with a better response.
why is he talking like that?
Im really scared that people lost it totally and forgot how to speak correctly (hes a senator).
trumps opponents have to freakin step up in everything.
syntax.words,this matter.
you guys are facing dishonest government that can utilize any mistake you do with way less effort than you to achieve identical goals.

The argument needs to be: He said "I did not have any communications with the Russians." He did so at least twice. He had weeks to clarify if it was somehow something he "forgot." That's it. Keep it simple and keep pounding those points.
