Right after Attorney General Jeff Sessions exited the Oval Office following a breakfast date with President Donald Trump, I caught up with the AG and engaged in the following back and forth with him:
Excuse me, excuse me, sir! Would you mind answering a couple questions?
Sessions: "Oh golly, gee whiz, oh my. Yeah, I guess. Shucks."
So, what did you and the president discuss over breakfast this morning?
Sessions: "You know, a lil bit of this, a lil bit of that, a lil bit of the other. You know how it goes."
No, not really, which is why I asked the question. Specifically, what did the two of you discuss this morning?
Sessions: "Big, important things, I mean, like really big and really important."
Okay, one more question....
Sessions: "You said it was going to be two questions..."
Well, you didn't really answer either of my first two, so I think it's only fair to answer a third.
Sessions: "Fine. Alright then. Go ahead."
What did you and the president eat for breakfast this morning?
Sessions: "You know what? I cannot recall what we ate. I'd have to rack my brain to remember."
You just ate, what, five minutes ago?
Sessions: "Somethin' like that"
So what did you eat? Do you really expect me to believe you can't remember what you ate five minutes ago?
Sessions: "Look, the president and I ate in private and I don't feel it's appropriate to share what it is we ate."
Are you citing executive privilege here, with regard to what you ate for breakfast with the president?
Sessions: "No, of course not! Only the president can do that! But I think it's only fair to let him know about the question and ask if he wants to do the executive privilege thing before I answer."
So you're refusing to answer the question, not because of executive privilege, but the possibility of executive privilege? Wouldn't that then mean you could stay silent for the rest of Trump's tenure due to the possibility he could cite executive privilege?
Sessions: "Could you say that again? I'm not sure I understand the question. Sorry."
Did you eat eggs?
Sessions: "I cannot recall."
How about pancakes? Did you have pancakes?
Sessions: "I cannot recall."
Bacon? French toast? Lucky Charms cereal?
Sessions: "I cannot recall."
Do you like any of the foods I just listed?
Sessions: "Perhaps, maybe, gee, I don't know. I guess, maybe, sometimes, possibly."
Can you give me a straight answer about anything?
Sessions: "I might have to get back to you on that."
