Jeff Sessions is our nation's attorney general, and the most successful Keebler Elf in the history of the United States. (He's also probably the only Keebler Elf with a long history of racism accusations against him, but hey.) Anyway, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions has seemingly found a way to escape the controversy that has dogged his counterparts in the administration—despite the fact that he appears to be dead set on bringing back racist, ineffective policies that have done little to make the country safer and a ton to contribute to the systematic oppression of minorities. Sessions's connections to the Russia investigation also have not caught the public's attention the way that Jared's have—at least they haven't until now. But it looks like it's that guy who coincidentally looks just like the Nazi in The Blues Brothers’ turn in the barrel.

CNN is reporting that Congress is now investigating Sessions for yet another meeting with Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador-slash-spy who has been at the center of this Russia shit show from the beginning.

Investigators on the Hill are requesting additional information, including schedules from Sessions, a source with knowledge tells CNN. They are focusing on whether such a meeting took place April 27, 2016, at the Mayflower Hotel in Washington, DC, where then-candidate Donald Trump was delivering his first major foreign policy address. Prior to the speech, then-Sen. Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak attended a small VIP reception with organizers, diplomats and others.

We've reached a point where we're not wondering if our attorney general met with a representative from a foreign adversary during a campaign during which said foreign adversary was openly trying to interfere with our election, we're wondering how many times they met. This conspiracy is so right in our faces that it's beyond galling. It's actually a shame that we've spent so long in this country obsessed with nonsensical "conspiracy theories," because when a real honest-to-God one with nothing theoretical about it comes around, we don't have the tools to process it. But let this be your (increasingly frequent) reminder that the scope of these investigations may well just continue growing. Once you start asking questions, who knows where you might end up?
