«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.
