The US Attorney General lied to congress ??? Well well did he lie or just forget ... if it was a visit in an official capacity why would he just say so ?? 1 step forward 2 steps back |

Previous administration made a secret deal with a state sponsor of terrorism, paid them some millions in small bills, said country subsequently took US sailors hostage and fired on US ships and the media was silent???
Sessions met with the Russians in an official capacity while serving in the Senate Posted from my iPhone/Mobile device |

Session testified that he had no contact with Russian officials regarding the election.
Sessions did speak to Russian officials, but he is saying those conversations were not related to the election, but were related to his role on the Senate Armed Services Committee (he was a senator at the time). The mere fact that he spoke to the Russians, does not appear to contradict his testimony. But it would have been nice if he brought it up. Why give the sharks any rope to hang you with? |

There isn't any evidence of Russia's involvement in the election period . We all know the democrats require black and white proof .

he willfully answered the question falsely... thats not leading by example .. but thats the trend in this administration Say 1 thing then spend weeks telling everyone what He or She ment to say .. or blame the media or the Dem's over your unforced errors |
He answered lawyerly and stated he did not discuss things with the Russians WRT the election.
Interestingly, he did recuse himself from influence on this particular matter. Gee, wish other AGs were willing to recuse themselves when they got too close to the fire. Quote:
There is substantial evidence they tried to influence the election, there is no evidence they "hacked" the election. |

Here is an honest question...Did Sessions deny meeting with the ambassador, period? Or did he deny meeting with the Russian ambassador, regarding the election? The former would be a lie. The latter would not (as far as can be proven), though a little too lawyerly for my taste. If you think Sessions should resign over this, but are OK with the fact that Attorney General Eric Holder oversaw the giving weapons to Mexican drug lords which were used to kill people...then you don't care anything about right and wrong, you only care about partisan politics. |

[/Q Sessions could have said he didn't meet regarding the election but did see the Amb. 2x - once for xmin. when he stopped by and once for ymin when blah blah blah. Instead by answering the way he did, it is now up for interpretation whether he lied or not. Don't think it is a reason to quit but a further investigation is warranted. |

And someone needs to tell Trump's team, no more mistakes regarding Russia. |

Other than the intent of Franken's question, what further investigation is warranted? |
Given all the optics of the Trump (Manafort, Page etc) and Russia connection, this looks bad, especially given the context of Russia/overall election and Sessions involvement/prominent support of Trump. Agree with JR, there is substantial evidence, but nothing clear that it had a tangible impact.
However, if reports are true, that travel expenses for one of the meetings was paid by the campaign, then this warrants more investigation for sure. p.s. did anyone see Page's interview last night? What a smug, weaselly little guy he appeared to be.... |
Old news that was not much explored by mainstream media, nor the Democrats, back in the day. But was about a real, verified, request by Ted Kennedy for Russian intervention in the 1984 election.
https://www.forbes.com/2009/08/27/te...-robinson.html If that was OK, then what is the fuss about not yet verified current allegations. Oh, well, things change. The Russians must be a far bigger threat now than they were at the height of the Cold War. Here is the note to Andropov by Chebrikov who had received the request from Kennedy: http://sweetness-light.com/archive/k...-offer-to-ussr |
Well they say if you repeat the story often enough it becomes believable.

Pelosi, Schumer and friends who lie out of habit on a daily basis for a living calling someone a liar and /or questioning someone's integrity??....this is precious |

Trump tweeted that Schumer met with the Russian Ambassador also. Schumer's response was he'll testify under oath what they discussed and asked if Trump and his cabinet would do the same. Somehow I don't think Pres. Trump will take him up on it
