Jeff Sessions actually said...

"I just have to tell you, I've seen the transcript and I didn't--not so much--I think it evidenced a lack of a proper understanding of your role in the matter."

"I have been a prosecutor and I have seen judges go beyond their proper role in hearings."

"Well, you said that there was significant evidence raising questions about his competency. I don't know that there was a scintilla of evidence."

"I do not know how anybody in your position could be accepting of this responsibility and proceed in the face of this record to be the proximate cause of this man's death."
