The pundits who wouldn't stop haranguing Barack Obama to reach across the aisle seem to have lost their voices.
Ersatz attorney general oozes charm to win over senator on "Weekend Update."
Sen. Al Franken was infuriated that Attorney General Jeff Sessions failed to explain why he misled Congress on his contacts with the Russian ambassador.
Franken demanded that the attorney general come back and explain why he didn't tell the Senate the truth about Russia.
Why didn't the attorney general come clean before he was caught, and what did he talk about with the Russians?
Sen. Jeff Sessions talk to the Russian ambassador twice during the presidential campaign, but he told Sen. Al Franken he never spoke to the Russians.
“The American people also deserve to know the full extent of the President and his team’s ties to Russia. Let’s give them that information,” the Minnesota senator said.
In a party-line vote, 11 Republicans advanced his nomination. All nine Democrats voted no.
"It’s about the peaceful transition of power,” said Sen. Debbie Stabenow.
