Ubi bene ibi patria
" An anonymous Trump administration official has told CNN that no one in the administration had any prior knowledge of Attorney General Jeff Sessions’s two meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

Specifically, CNN’s Carol Costello reports that a “senior administration official says WH learned of Sessions’ contacts” with the ambassador through press reports.

Sessions has come under fire for not disclosing at his Senate confirmation hearing that he twice met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak over the course of the 2016 presidential campaign.

Several Democrats — including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) — have called on Sessions to resign. In addition, several Republicans — including Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and Raul Labrador (R-ID) — said Sessions should recuse himself from any investigations into ties between Russian officials and the Trump campaign. "

Yeah... they found out in the news like the rest of us. :lol:

Oh, and an "anonymous Trump administration official". :ohwell:

What's stupid about this is, any official meetings members of congress with foreign officials would be documented and put into the official congressional archives. The White House didn't think to look there when they vetted Sessions?

What's stupid about your comment is that you think this White House actually did any vetting.

The vet for cabinet nominees could have been created by the brainiacs on here....as it was only 1 question with only two possible 1 word answers:

Did they support Trump? Yes or No. (If no, the "vet" ended).
