Umm...what's the difference??
The Wapo quote paraphrases exactly what Sen. Franken asked and quotes exactly how Mr. Sessions replied.
Try to spin it an idiotic way you want (and you ARE trying hard)...the plain fact of the matter is that Mr. Sessions volunteered an answer to a question he wasn't asked. He specifically said he, himself had no communications with the Russians.
Now you and your dumbass Trumpian sheep can spin, obfuscate, rephrase, ignore or re-interpret the words Mr. Trump spews on a daily basis. You can think in your puny party first brains that your actually making a relevant point. However, in the case of Mr. Sessions, he clearly lied while under oath.
What is also clear is this: on its face there is no reason why he should have lied. So why did he?????
BTW...reddit? That is how far you are sinking to try to spin this? Dumbass.
