Andrew Kent was quoted in a Bloomberg article about ex-FBI Chief James Comey’s congressional testimony.
That’s a sign that even with the renewed scrutiny on the Comey-Russia crisis, the impact to Sessions’s agenda and Justice Department operations could be minimal, said Andrew Kent, a law professor at Fordham University in New York.
“Sessions could still work pretty effectively, I would think, in advancing Trump’s agenda, as long as it deals with Department of Justice policy changes,” Kent said.
But with the Mueller investigation just getting started, the Russia inquiry is likely to loom over the administration for months to come.
“It becomes harder to believe that it’s just a memory lapse every time there’s another meeting or another phone call that happened,” Kent said. “There’s not a lot of good options for the Trump administration.”
