As a prosecutor, Kamala Harris’s doggedness was praised. As a senator, she’s deemed ‘hysterical.’
I noticed on at least one of the questions that Sessions obviously did not want to give a straight answer to, he launched into a long speech on wanting to protect Americans from crime. It sounded like he was making a campaign speech. I thought he was trying to make up to his base for the next time he ran for office.
Another motivation was pointed out in the article:
"Each member of the committee had a limited number of minutes to question Sessions"
So he was undoubtedly also trying to run off the timer for that questioner.
