Sessions had contact with Russian envoy

This explains why Trump was so moderated in the speech the other night -- they knew this story was coming out. Makes sense now. Given that it's well-known that Kislyak is a spy and spy recruiter, surely there is an audio recording of these conversations which will show up soonish.

Of course, this will be dismissed as "fake news" by the usual lot of knuckle-draggers here. :popcorn:

ROLL TIDE!

Then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) spoke twice last year with Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Justice Department officials said, encounters he did not disclose when asked about possible contacts between members of President Trump’s campaign and representatives of Moscow during Sessions’s confirmation hearing to become attorney general.

One of the meetings was a private conversation between Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that took place in September in the senator’s office, at the height of what U.S. intelligence officials say was a Russian cyber campaign to upend the U.S. presidential race.

The previously undisclosed discussions could fuel new congressional calls for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Russia’s alleged role in the 2016 presidential election. As attorney general, Sessions oversees the Justice Department and the FBI, which have been leading investigations into Russian meddling and any links to Trump’s associates. He has so far resisted calls to recuse himself.

Sessions was asked by Franken if he knew of any contact with the Russians by the Trump camp regarding the presidential campaign; and his answer was no. The question wasn't whether Sessions had any contact with the Russians. The meeting Session had with Ambassador Kislyak was in the capacity of Sessions' position on the Armed Services Committee when he was a senator.

Sessions, Russian ambassador reportedly spoke twice during presidential campaign

Sessions had meetings last year with more than 25 foreign ambassadors, the Department said.

It's what they do LB; members of Armed Services Committee meet/talk with foreign subjects for various national security related things. You anti-Trumpers just want there to be something with the Russians and the presidential campaign; and you keep coming up empty.

Except for Kislyak. He's blackballed because he's a known spy and spy recruiter. Why don't you go see how many members of the Armed Services Committee met with this cat in particular?

Sessions also lied under oath.

There is nothing you knuckle-draggers can't rationalize away.

Okay???? Then why didn't just say that. Would've been very easy and would've avoided any future confusion. Seems like he was withholding something and now we're starting to see what it was.

Just remember... Americans died, but it was a video. What difference, at this point, does it make?

Just remember... the whole private server thing - with the highest level of classified on it - was a witch hunt.

:bigwhoop:

This will turn out to be nothing. But keep digging.

Another story by WAPO, that will amount to nothing.
They think if they toss enough crap out there something will stick.

And it does, it sticks in the minds of the anti-Trump camp.
It has no pertinence ,there is nothing there, but it keeps an empty mind entertained.

I know what's it's about; and it's not Sessions. It's about Trump, and that he somehow got the Russians to manipulate our elections; and you folks on the left finding every single republican that had contact with a Russian. The list is already made. When the Sessions bit turns up nothing, the next person that had contact with a Russian will be marched out. You think we're too stupid to see what's going on?

People in our government have contact with dozens of countries and their diplomats, envoys and leaders. Russia, being a super power, is most certainly going to be a very busy country in these regards. The whole thing is really getting entertaining; and you people on the left just sucked right into it every time. I encourage you to keep up with the witch hunt. The mid-terms aren't that far away.

It's BS, the Post is feeding this crap to small minds, because they have nothing.

I would bet John Kerry spoke to a Russian some time or other, why doesn't the Post report that.?
I am not sure though, Kerry wasn't much at doing his job, just he and Obama making deals with our enemies so that enemy could build missiles and nuclear weapons.

Did he lie about it under oath you tool?

Again, Sessions was asked if he ever met with the Russians regarding the election. There is no evidence that he did, and he stated that he didn't. He met with the Russians in the capacity of his position on the Armed Service Committee; which is completely normal. That was NOT the question he was asked. There is no lie just because he didn't disclose his meeting with Kislyak. He is not obligated to offer up information that he wasn't asked about.

He probably would if asked. It isn't like he hasn't lied before.


Tool? Is there any greater tool than yourself.
A tool that feeds anti-Trump BS to this forum ever day?
When it come to tools son you are right up there with the most misused tool ever invented. A pair of pliers.
Nothing has bunged up more jobs than some fool with a pair of pliers.

Oh good lord.

More rationalization. You must be exhausted from the mental gymnastics this morning. I recommend lots of carbs.
