    Yes true but I am starting to view libs like my neighbors dog: I like to see him chasing his own tail because when he is busy doing that he is not barking at me.

    All of these guys are extremely intelligent. Mr. Sessions is the AG, for goodness sake.

    How can a guy like that, get in a jam like this?

    If you or I would have talked to the Russians a time or two, I'm sure we would have remembered it.
    And we also would have remembered to answer a question correctly about the Russians.

    If that's an Obama land mind that Mr. Sessions did not foresee, then he does not need to be the AG.
    It doesn't take a whole lotta effort to be honest.
    On the other hand, he is an attorney, so maybe it's a wash. ;)

    BS.

    He's playing a symantic game. The question was "did you have any communication with Russia", he answered NO. He did, he LIED to congress.

    His defense "I thought they were asking about campaign communication".

    I love how you guys are spinning this.

    Clinton lies under oath about a hummer..."HE MUST BE IMPEACHED"

    Sessions lies about communications with a foreign power...."Nothing to see here...Move along"

    There is more smoke every day, and the right still tries to defend it.

    I find it odd that Trump gives a touchdown of a speech, and a day later, a coordinated effort by the Dems and the media comes out stating that Jeff Sessions is a traiter, lol. What ridiculous craziness Dems believe. Meanwhile, folks are becoming ever more confident that Trump will succeed in economic, immigration, trade, and infrastructure. THE RUSSIANS, lol. I can't believe they are actually playing this out.

    The Trump administration wrecked itself with one lie after another. "Ambush" not necessary. They do it to themselves.It's like shooting fish out of a barrel with this grotesque, corrupt, lying administration.

    And by the way, pivoting to Clinton is yet the other cowardly gift by the Right that keeps on giving. Back the Right in a corner, and all of a sudden they need to investigate Clinton or the neighbors dog. Whatever distraction they can invent in their shallow noggins will suffice.

    Nice cherry picking.

    Here's the full statement made by Al Franken...

    Sessions answer was directly in context to Al's statement which was asking if he (Sessions) exchanged information with the Russian government while in Trump surrogate mode and he answered no.

    He wasn't asked if he exchanged information with the Russian government while in the capacity of Senator which was his job at the time.

    Do you understand now???

    Getting caught lying by Sessions, is hardly a result of Democrats playing it out. Sessions opened the can of worms by lying and recusing himself after being caught. If there was never a there there, Sessions would have never bailed out on the investigation.

    Sessions quote; " I did not have communications with the Russians", when in fact it was found out he did. That one phrase proves he lied. The evidence is inarguable.

    "Much ado about nuthin" while Sessions gets caught lying and recuses himself from the investigation. If it was all about nothing, he wouldn't have blown the whistle on himself, and would have insisted on holding his ground in the face of those trying to bring him down. But instead, he fell like a sack of potatoes not even attempting a fight. What a bunch of cowards and liars these people are.

    “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?” Senator Franken

    “Senator Franken, I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two during that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians and I’m unable to comment on it," Mr Sessions


    I bolded the lie to make it easier for you.........and he WAS under oath......

    Still wanna defend that ?

    We have his direct quotes. So prove to us all where he didn't lie from his quote that said, " I did not have communications with the Russians"? Where is the fake news?

    Cowardly pivoting to Obama or Lynch doesn't magically change Sessions guilt. Try again!

    She didn't need to, because she was never caught lying.
