Matthews: Some of Sessions’ Answers Remind Me of Alger Hiss

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Hardball,” anchor Chris Matthews drew a comparison between answers given by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Soviet spy Alger Hiss.

Matthews said, “[T]hese are strange meetings. The attorney general of the United States can’t remember any meetings he’s had with the Russians at all, and he’s going to keep telling us I can’t remember. Reminds me of Alger Hiss, by the way, of the old days with Nixon. I don’t remember, to the best of my ability, blah blah blah, all these phrases to prevent yourself from a perjury rap.”
