Monday on CNNs The Lead, host Jake Tapper asked Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) if it might be a mistake for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to invoke executive privilege in his testimony tomorrow before a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing on Russian involvement in the 2016 presidential election.

Paul prefaced his response by saying it depended on the question asked, but dismissed the suggestion Sessions would have worked with the Russians given he was a hardliner on Russia.

I guess it depends on the questions, Paul replied. I dont really know what that will be about necessarily. I still think that, you know, weve got a special counsel. Lets let them do their job. The rest is all for show. This is political theater and really, those committees arent getting anywhere. If theres anything done wrong it will come out of the special counsel. And my suspicion is very little, if anything, will come out of there. There may be some people who didnt file their paperwork appropriately or didnt file to be registered as foreign agents but Ikind of doubt theres going to be anything that look, Jeff Sessions, who was kind of known as a hardliner on Russia, so its kind of crazy to sort of say, Oh, he must have been meeting with them in some secret deal with the Russians. You know, he was known as a hardliner, all right. And so I dont think any of that is going to go anywhere, but I think theres a political operation going on and Ithink dwelling so much on this stuff.
