« Do you like Jason Bourne or James Bond movie? » the Senator asked the Jeff Sessions.
Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton earned a spot on the highlight reel from Jeff Sessions’ testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee Tuesday when he began asking the attorney general about his affinity for spy stories.
« Do like spy fiction? » Cotton asked, listing authors like John LeCarré, Daniel Silva and Jason Matthews. Sessions said he did, adding that he’d just finished reading a spy novel by David Ignatius.
« Do you like Jason Bourne or James Bond movie? » Cotton then asked.
Sessions toyingly said no initially, before admitting that he does.
« Have you ever, in any of these fantastical situations, heard of a plot line so ridiculous that a sitting United States senator and an ambassador of a foreign government colluded at an open setting with hundreds of other people to pull off the greatest caper in the history of espionage? » Cotton asked.
