    I don't have to.........members of the Armed Services committee routinely meet with foreign diplomats. If you think Sessions did that in the capacity of a Trump surrogate....you'll need to prove it.

    Besides Sessions didn't lie.....In the context of of being a Trump surrogate he says he didn't. His contact was as a US Senator, that's his job.

    Hillary lied to Congress under oath, where was your moral outrage....non existent.

    Where was your outrage over this? I don't recall any.

    Oh, I see, the Ambassador didn't have his Red Sash on and Sessions wasn't wearing his Flag pin, therefore it didn't count.

    Bull(*)(*)(*)(*), he was asked a simple yes or no question and he (*)(*)(*)(*)ing lied through his ****** teeth, and the only reason for such a blatant lie concerning something that is otherwise perfectly legal, is that he's desperately afraid, like Trump and all his lickspittle cadre of traitors, that their betrayal of this country will be found out.

    When did your concern for linguistic nicety and contextual detail suddenly become so important? Was it when it became clear that your God-Emperor of the New American Tyranny, the Fearless Leader of Imperial America, was going to be exposed for the turncoat he is?

    When Sessions flat out said "I did not have communications with the Russians" in the context of the time he was an affiliate to the Trump campaign, that was a lie.

    We now know he did in fact have communications with the Russians.

    Read the thread. It's been posted numerous times. The Administration admits it.

    I could not care less if Sessions spoke to russia even as a Trump surrogate. So what? Russia did not hack the election, they hacked the DNC who was dumb enough to allow it.

    This is like the birther stuff. Was obama born in Kenya or not? It does not matter. The citizenship status of his mother at birth determines his citizenship so it is a moot point.

    Did Sessions speak with the russians about the campaign or not? It does not matter. Russia did not affect our election process.

    Yes they are as are Franken's. Do you know what syntax is?

    Why would you deny what you already know? That's the real question and the answer is equally obvious.



    Because Franken has every reason to know and expect that Jeff Sessions would speak with Russian diplomats as part of his Senate duties.



    I did not call you a liar (as you unfortunately called me...reported, by the way). I'm cautioning you not to become a zealot like Claire McCaskill and blatantly lie about her committee's contact with Russian ambassadors.
    A little reading comprehension is called for.

    But not in the capacity of a Trump advisor, which is what he clearly says, in reply to a question he is clearly asked.
    Context is a female dog. You can prove otherwise, I suppose, if you are able which has not been the case up until now.



    It has to do with your situational ethics.

    Good Lord you are still not presenting the whole truth?

    The entire transcript. Unlike what Iriemon cherry picked

    Franken: CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week, that included information that “Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.” These documents also allegedly say “there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.” Again, I’m telling you this as it’s coming out, so you know. But if it’s true, it’s obviously extremely serious, and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?

    Sessions: Senator Franken, 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, and I’m unable to comment on it.

    Franken: Very well.


    Context is everything and you continuing to hide the evidence only makes you look desperate and dishonest.

    I think most of the liberals in this thread have made it clear they don't care about the truth. That's why they hide the entire transcript.

    - - - Updated - - -

    No you had part of the quote and you couldn't be honest enough to quote everything that was said because you argument doesn't hold up so you hide the truth.

    Would you, please, repost it for me? I believe that such matter affects my country and I deserve to be informed about it's development, and posess evidence of my government interfiering with USA presidental elections.

    And if there is no said evidence, may I have explanations, what was reason for administration of mr. Barack Obama expelling thirdty five diplomats of my country out of USA, preventing them from further carrying their duties and working on solving concerning matters of RF-USA politics and working on case of peace? Because I find such act being very, very concerning - for country's government to cast away diplomats, among all potential options.

    I've read the damn transcript several times.

    The fact you cannot explain your question demonstrates you have no basis for your blather. What a surprise.

    You are dealing with a corrupt banana republic political party (liberal-Democrats) who wear diapers, play with Play Dough and easily get their feelings hurt.

    Sanctions :roflol: Sanctions in most cases do more harm than good.

    Expelling five Russian diplomats (spies) and what did that accomplish ?

    Vladimir Putin being a master at geopolitics decided not to act like a pantywaist and expel five of our State Department spies from Moscow but to leave them in place so they can keep being fed fake news and information.

    For eight years America had an incompetent President, two incompetent Secretary of States. While Obama played checkers on the geopolitical chess board, Putin and the most of the world leaders played chess.

    It's going to change because President Trump is no checkers player and is no pantywaist like Obama is.

    You're G** Damned right
    and this tiresome game is getting rather tedious. Franken asks a loaded, leading and unproven question and then lays it all in Session's lap.
    It's like when did you stop beating your wife? The assumption that democrat crap weasel Al Franken is working from is an unproven one at best.

    No need to "explain" anything as it has been "explained" for 60 pages.
