Pete Sessions: “In a case of national importance, which in itself just on the face of it does not pass the smell test, in my view, he…”

“In a case of national importance, which in itself just on the face of it does not pass the smell test, in my view, he should not have accepted it. Another thing Senator Specter has never done is handle the sentencing guidelines. They were not a part of the State courts of Philadelphia or Pennsylvania, but they were a part of the Federal court where Judge Paez was sitting. I don't think Senator Specter has ever considered the fact that the evidence is what the judge had, and he did not have all that he should have had. But what he did have indicates that he did not properly apply the guidelines. That is the only thing he can be responsible for, in my view. If evidence was withheld from him, I understand that. But what I have been quoting here is what he did have.”
