And we need to keep something clear because people are trying to play fast and dirty. There appears to have been a separate question in writing that did focus on subject (but not capacity):
In January, Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) asked Sessions for answers to written questions. “Several of the President-elect’s nominees or senior advisers have Russian ties. Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day?” Leahy wrote.
Sessions responded with one word: “No.”

That's different from Al Franken's verbal question at the confirmation hearing, which I quoted in a few posts up.
Trump defenders are trying to use the written response to Leahy's question in place of his verbal response to Franken's. That's dirty pool.
