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

Except Sessions didn't lie

 

Sure, because who cares when it is a Republican who lies under oath, right? Sleep well.

Exhibit AC.

 

Quit adding your own words to his statement to make it sound true.

 

1) Prove it.

2) So what.

 

Context...

As a surrogate of the Trump campaign? No. Which is correct.

As a U.S. senator? Yes. Which is correct.

Do you see the difference????

 

I've posted the entire statement many times in this thread.

You can't argue that "he said as a surrogate of Trump he did not talk to the Russians but as a Senator he did."

Because thatis not what he said.

What he said is a matter of the record, not what you claim.


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."

Trying to change what he said only makes you look dishonest and desperate.

 

You have to prove a claim.. You are claiming he lied. He did not its a simple quote you just dont understand it.

So what? So What? You guys are basically calling him a liar and a traitor and so what? Are you guys so used to smearing people you dont understand the impact anymore??

You are the one trying to change it. You quote it and highlight it but dont understand it. Key word from both of them is campaign.

 

If you want to continue this fantasy post his exact conversation proving he spoke to the Russians as a Trump surrogate or retract your laughable claim.

 

Stating that he was an affiliate of donald's campaign and never communicated with the Russians is not correct.

It is a flat out lie.

 

Did you hear about Senator McCaskill? Pilling on the anti Sessions bandwagon she tweeted

"I've been on the Armed Services Com for 10 years. No call or meeting w/Russian ambassador. Ever. Ambassadors call members of Foreign Rel Com."

And right there in the same twitter account you can find-

"Off to meeting w/Russian Ambassador. Upset about the arbitrary/cruel decision to end all US adoptions,even those in process."

and

"Today calls with British, Russian, and German Ambassadors re: Iran deal # doingmyhomework"

Deceit and lies, the tactics of this new Democratic party.

 

In the context of the topic of discussion, the question that was asked and any role played he had no communications with the Russians. His answer was within the context and correct.

Next time don't try to pull another stunt with the edited quote.

 

Sessions needed to spell it out PLAINLY when asked. He lied by omission.

GTF OUT! Liars in high office cannot be tolerated .... unless you're a Dem.

 

rwers are no longer loyal to the usa when they put russia ahead of us citizens

 

"I did not have communication with the Russians" he was affiliated and he did have constant.

Plain fact is that's a lie. All he had to say was that he did in his senatorial role, but not on the behalf of the campaign. He lied under oath, there's no spin that changes that. Just say you don't care, but don't pretend he said something he didn't.

 

Diversion. No one claimed that he spoke to the Russians as a Trump surrogate. You don't know what he said when he talked to the Russian government while he was a Trump campaign affiliate.

But we do know he stated he did not have communications with the Russians. False statement under oath.

 

Nope as a surrogate he had no communications with the Russians, the context of the question asked whether the CAMPAIGN had any contacts that he knew of.

Even your attempt to take it out of context fell on it's face.

 

Lock her up! LOL

 

lmao, that is under federal investion

his meeting with russian officials has been documented by the justice department.

 

What he was asked and answered is a matter of record, not what you claim.

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 under oath.

Next time don't try to pull another stunt with mis-characterizing what he was asked and answered.

And my quote isn't "edited" at all.

 

Wow first Flynn now Sessions! Trump better address this ASAP! If it's proven he lied to Al Franken when he asked Sessions if he spoke to the Russian Ambassador, Trump should ask for his resignation. Too much controversy surrounding yet another member of Trumps Cabinet.

 

Isn't it fun to quote out of context.

 

Oh so now its diversion. Make up your mind.

He would have had to for your claim to make sense.

And neither do you. Starting to sink in yet? You have zero evidence he talked to them as a Trump surrogate. None. Zero. Nada.

Not when the context was laid out by Franklin himself that it was specifically in reference to surrogates speaking to the Russians and not Senators.

I do love your tenacity just wish you would be more honest about what was said and post the entire conversation not cherry picked phrases .

 

I was part of the campaign and I didn't talk to the Russians.

Except he did. There no senaeio where his answer was truthful

- - - Updated - - -

Franken didn't even ask if HE had communications, he chose to volunteer that blatant lie....under oath.

 

How is it a lie when he specifically mentioned the role as a surrogate? Go ahead, try and explain it.

 

Exactly. You claimed "He did his meetings had nothing to do with the Trump Campaign nor elections."

Where's your proof? And so what?

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."

Pretty simple to me. But heck, Sessions is a Republican, so its OK for him to lie under oath, right? Exhibit AC.

There certainly should be an impact for lying under oath. But I don't there will be any impact for lying under oath for Sessions. You guys don't care that he lied because he's a Republican. Exhibit AD.
