Yeah, I can't imagine Sessions is even at the stage where he's inclined to sing like a bird yet, so any block attempt seems like a fanciful concoction.

xpost Is that a Double Team reference or are you just saying Dems need to toughen up? Good luck on that front, though I look forward to Sessions getting yelled at today when he claims executive privilege as an excuse for refusing to admit if he was in the room with Trump or not. Certainly if Trump fired Mueller and congress refused to reimplement IC I'd support a full Dem hissy fit. Until then, Dem outrage does not seem to be moving the needle at all. Maybe they should goad Trump into taxing the McDonald's dollar menu?

Russian Cyber Hacks on U.S. Electoral System Far Wider Than Previously Known
n Illinois, investigators found evidence that cyber intruders tried to delete or alter voter data. The hackers accessed software designed to be used by poll workers on Election Day, and in at least one state accessed a campaign finance database. Details of the wave of attacks, in the summer and fall of 2016, were provided by three people with direct knowledge of the U.S. investigation into the matter. In all, the Russian hackers hit systems in a total of 39 states, one of them said.
The scope and sophistication so concerned Obama administration officials that they took an unprecedented step -- complaining directly to Moscow over a modern-day “red phone.” In October, two of the people said, the White House contacted the Kremlin on the back channel to offer detailed documents of what it said was Russia’s role in election meddling and to warn that the attacks risked setting off a broader conflict.

― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 13 June 2017 15:09 (six years ago) link
xpost That is so dumb. So the Dems would sign on the potentially shitty ACHA, thus receiving the GOP of its onerous burden. But then it gets Russia sanctions, which not only weakens their argument that the GOP is doing nothing on Russian, but provides the GOP cover. "See, we voted for sanctions!" Yeah, this all seems like a good idea. 1D chess.
