Putin aide: Clinton advisers met with Russian ambassador 'lots' of times

How about that, "People associated with Hillary Clinton's campaign also met with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak". I guess the special prosecutor has his/her work cut out for them investigating the Trump campaign AND now the Hillary campaign too. I wonder if the FBI got a FISA warrant for Clinton's Campaign servers too? I guess only time will tell.

 

And you believe and promote what the Russians say, eh comrade?

If Clinton or her people flat out lied and denied any such meeting, you might have point.

 

Oh, the horror.

You've unleashed the PF leftists to flood the forums demanding investigations into Democratic collusion with the Russians and other evil plots.

When will the madness end??

 

Nobody's asked, but they should be investigated along side Trumps.

 

"Probably"

So he has no idea. While with Trjmp we know they did and we know they lied about it. I'm sure the hacking, despite being on the front page of every paper and attributed to the Russians, never came up lol

 

I notice that the portion you chose to bold and quote is not the actual quote from Dmitry Peskov.

I also notice that you fail to address the simple fact that Hillary's campaign team did not lie, in private or under oath, as to whether they met with any Russian officials.

But you've earned your shot of vodka, comrade!

 

Did the Russians help Hillary win the election ?

Look, another red herring.......

 

It doesn't matter, Hillary's campaign was in contact with the Russians. It needs to be investigated to find out why.....Just like Trump.

 

The reporting is clear that there were meetings with folks connected to Hillary. Meetings are either right or wrong. Which is it?

As far a lying, Flynn lied and he was fired. Sessions only met with the Russian Ambassador within his offical duties as a Senator. As much as you want to pervert his testimony, maybe you should pound down that shot of vodka. It might assist with some clarity.

 

You need to look up the fair use doctrine of the copyright act.

It doesn't matter, no one asked....yet. However, it's time to get Podesta in front of the Congress put him under oath, ask him who and what the contact was all about.

 

The quote from Peskov is that "folks associated with Hillary"..."probably met" with the Russian ambassador. Based on that quote, do you know whether the meetings took place?

And I would love to hear your evidence for why you believe that any conversations between Sessions and the Russian ambassador did not include a discussion of the election set to take place two months later.

 

A) I am not accusing you of violating copyright law.

B) I AM accusing you of intentionally choosing the quote that makes the appearance of a meeting much more certain than the Russian official's quote would imply.

I must be a glutton for punishment, but please, do tell me why Podesta needs to be called up in front of Congress to answer any questions. And while you are at it, please tell me why the same should not apply to Michael Flynn.

 

If you read the whole article in context, the meetings took place. Foreigners speaking English sometimes use words improperly. That's clear after reading everything.

As far as "evidence" with respect to Sessions, if he said his conversations had nothing to do with the election, I take him at his word. His Senator day job at the time clearly allowed him to have contact with the Ambassador without question. I choose not to look for ghosts in the dark. If he wanted to have a clandestine meeting, he wouldn't do it within the public record with 2 retired military officers at his side. There is stupid, and then there is stupid......

 

Actually, it does matter. There is no equivalency here. It's okay to meet with ambassadors, that's what elected officials are supposed to do. Lying about it under oath after the opposition's servers were hacked by the country that ambassador represents is not okay. Do you understand yet?

Bill Clinton was impeached for doing what Sessions did. But I guess we can't expect Republicans to put aside their partisanship in favor of principles and fairness, can we?

 

Why would it? You are making the accusation back it up and you claim to be a lawyer?

 

Why do you take him at his word when he already lied under oath? Let's put him under oath again so he can "clarify" his original false statement.

 

Saying he lied is strangely enough a lie.

 

Only if you choose to alter the definition of the word, "lie."

 

Nope not at all Mr Lawyer.. He answered the question given to him.

 

Sessions said, under oath, that he did not have any meetings with any Russian officials and yet, Sessions actually met with a Russian official two months before the election.

But you go ahead and take him at his word....this time.

 

Did Sessions claim that he never met with any Russian officials? Did Sessions, in fact, meet with any Russian officials?

 

As a surrogate of the campaign mr lawyer.

 

So desperate you replied twice! Amusing! You might want to actually look at Frankens question again and Sessions reply again Mr Lawyer until you do you lost this case.

 

He was specifically asked under oath about contact as a "Trump Surrogate". He answered within that context.

But if you simply want to chase boggy men in the shadows, you can continue to do your best impression of Chicken Little and scream "lie, lie!!!"

Or, if you really care about the truth, maybe you can have Franken ask the question again without grandstanding and tripping over his tongue. This is what happens when you elect a career comedian to Congress....

 

Please point out where you see the words, "I did not have any communications with the Russians as a surrogate of the campaign" in this Sessions quote. And be specific. I want to see exactly what you see.

"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 didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it."
