Sessions met with Russian envoy twice last year, encounters he later did not disclose

This type of garbage might work at a trump rally full of rubes frothing at the mouth in trucker hats. Here in the real world, Sessions committed perjury. It's not up for debate.

 

Sure, fake news, who cares about the nation's top prosecutor lying under oath when he's a Republican, right?

Exhibit AG.

 

You mean the communication Sessions first said never happened?

Now there's an indicia of credibility for you.

 

Except he did not lie you lose

 

How is Sessions stating he did not have communications with the Russians when he had communications with the Russians "no evidence" of lying? Or a "semantic" argument?

 

You don't believe that Sessions was affiliated with Trump at the time he met with the Russian ambassador in September of 2016?

Ok: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-...tor-sessions-to-serve-as-chairman-of-national

 

Well that makes a lot of sense. Investigate Clinton because Sessions lied about his contact with the Russians.

Kind of like invading Iraq when Al Queda attacked us on 9-11.

 

Not in any official capacity.

 

If it was common knowledge Sessions communicated with Russians his answer should have been "I had communications with the Russians," and not "I did not have communications with the Russians" which was a lie.

Glad I could clear that up for ya.

 

It never did happen in the context of the questioning at the time. No need to mention his communications as a sitting Senator.....to another Senator.

 

Because shoot, who cares when it is a Republican lying, eh?

Exhibit AH.

 

I'm sorry, you're parsing words in order to make a point that cannot stand up to scrutiny.

All, ALL! Senators talk to foreign government representatives. As it relates to those senators on Intelligence, armed services etc committees, they come into contact with the representatives of the other world powers often.

All, ALL Senators know this. So when Sessions was asked about contact in context to the campaign he answered "no". Every Senator on the panel knew that Sessions had had incidental contact with foreign reps just as they had, but that wasn't what the questions were about. They accepted his answer to the question without follow-up, they weren't confused.

Cheers

 

Who are you to decide his answer? You don't decide. It was common knowledge. Should he have mentioned also that the sun rises in the east? Perhaps since he did not you think he lied......how absurd.

 

Which might be relevant if the question as was what they talked about, and not whether there had been any communications.

 

"Et, tu" Iriemon? I would have thought better of you than to join this bunch of blithering idiot "torch-and-pitchfork" radical Democrats in yet another administration assassination attempt. That gaggle of hyperlib hyenas managed to smear Flynn into resignation, so, hey! Now they're after Jeff Sessions?

It is not (NOT) against the law for a Senator on the Armed Services Committee, in the course of his duties, to speak with representatives of foreign governments about matters that are proper for discussion. Does the Democrat hyena mob have any proof that Sessions spoke in any way that was improper or illegal? No?

How about Obama telling Russian President, Medvedev, in 2012, "This is my last election ... After my election I have more flexibility." Where was the Democrat howling and screaming for Obama to be drawn-and-quartered over that?! Link: http://www.reuters.com/article/us-nuclear-summit-obama-medvedev-idUSBRE82P0JI20120326

But, I would submit to you (since you are one of the few Democrats I still have any respect for, and are endowed with admirable intelligence), that if we were smart, we'd make an ALLIANCE WITH RUSSIA and go in together to wipe out radical Islam everywhere it exists! "W" Bush should have done that after the Beslan school massacre in Russia in 2004, but he was too committed to the ongoing international central bank agenda of seizing Eastern Europe using the IMF proxy. Same thing for Obama, of course, who was completely under the dominance of the international central bank hegemony every single day he was in office.

We don't have to be in LOVE with the damned Russians. Hell, we weren't in LOVE with the Russians during World War II -- but, we worked together to win the war! What is it that radical Democrats fear so much? That the entire Islamo-Nazi movement is going to be destroyed while President Trump is in power, and that he may actually get credit for doing something neither Idiot Bush nor Idiot Obama were capable of doing?!

Bottom line: Sessions did NOTHING wrong in speaking with a Russian Ambassador, and if radical Democrats know what's good for them, they'll just go on celebrating the destruction of Michael Flynn, but they'd better leave Jeff Sessions alone! A lot of Americans are getting sick and (*)(*)(*)(*)ing tired of these über-partisan Democrat ambushes and endless attempts to destroy the Trump Administration. Trust me -- it's going to backfire on them more than they can possibly imagine....

 

.....how is being named chairman of the national security advisory committee not an official capacity?

 

Other than Sessions admission?

 

Please post a link to the threads you started that condemned Hillary for the private server.....hahahaha!

 

Actually, that is more RW propanda news.

The fact that Sessions was an advisor to the Trump campaign well before he met with the Russians is well documented, as previously posted in this thread.

His answer was whether he had.

- - - Updated - - -

SEN. AL FRANKEN: "If there was any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this (2016) campaign, what would you do?," the Minnesota Democrat asked.

SESSIONS: "I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians."

Flat out lie. And under oath.

But heck, you don't care about the lying when it's a Republican, right?

Exhibit AI.

 

That isn't what he said, there was no qualifier

 

Another example of how our RW friends are mislead by fake RW propaganda news.

 

Are the Republicans in Congress radical Democrats, now?

 

Only because of voter fraud.

What did the Democrats and the Wa-Po know and when did they know it ?

Did they just learn of the meetings on Tuesday night right after Trump's state of the union speech ?

See the reply I posted above.

The Constitution says that every year the POTUS must address Congress and tell them the state of the union.

Now I have watched over 50 state of the unions, 55 to be exact. Eisenhower's state of the union in 1960 being my first but I didn't get to watch Nixon's first two state of the union in 69 and 70. Not my fault, I was preoccupied. During January of 69 I was to busy doing squat thrust in the pits and on the grinder with my M-14 rifle at MCRDSD. January of 1970 I had other issues to deal with 8,000 miles across the pond.

Unlike most former Presidents state of the union, they never told the truth of the state of the union but lied to Congress telling them the state of the union was in great shape.

Where as last Tuesday night Trump told the Congress what the state of the union was in and it's not good and then President Trump told Congress what he and what he expects Congress to do to fix the problems in America.

It's been many years since a President has actually addressed Congress informing them what the state of the union was in.

Holly crap !!! President Trump upheld and followed the Constitution Tuesday night. Who was the last President to do that ? Sure not Obama.

 

Sessions stated I did not have communications with the Russians in the context of anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicating with the Russians.

How in context did Sessions not have communications with the Russians when he did?

 

Remember when republican defended Loretta Lynch meeting with bill Clinton because she did so as a private citizen and not as the AG?
