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

I don't know, since you are making up what was asked and said. Weren't you just talking about the "context thing" and "lies of omission"

If you want to talk about what was actually asked and said, that answer is easy.

 

Sessions lied, he said there was no meeting and there was, that's called lying. He lied to Congress under oath, that's called perjury

Lock him up

And not in some country club, 5 years in a Supermax, but he can avoid that whole thing if he'll just turn over on his superiors

 

He wasn't asked if he had meetings with foreign leaders as a surrogate of the Trump campaign.

He was asked "If there was any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what would you do?"

Why can't you understand the difference?????

 

But, the people defending him would believe that 1+1=3 if Breitbart/Infowars told them to.

His defenders can hardly be expected to grasp a concept like the AG committing perjury.

 

What are you blathering about now? I've posted their exact statements dozens of times in this thread.

 

This entire kerfluffle is losing steam as the Dems realize they over played it and look like idiots.

Put together a timeline on what Sessions did and said, and am now thinking that Dems are overplaying their hand. https://t.co/qSyBftV9Lf

You can claim that but can you prove it?

At any rate Sessions was a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and as such had every right and duty to discuss things with Russian
representatives. Good luck proving he was plotting with Russia to put Trump in office (considering no one has ever definitively claimed that's what Russia did anyway).

You got a big sack of nothing there. What'cha gonna do with it?

 

That was his response to Franken.

 

Sessions was affiliated with the Trump campaign when he spoke with the Russians.

So there you go, a lie.

 

Republican front-runner Donald Trump has announced that Alabama senator Jeff Sessions will chair his national security advisory committee

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/03/trumps-national-security-chair-is-jeff-sessions.html

I'm not claiming his contact with the Russians was about anything inappropriate. I'm sure all these trump guys talking to Russia is purely coincidental lol

 

Again, I highlight the part of the question that the fake LW propaganda ignores. Sessions had no meetings with the Russian Ambassador as a Trump surrogate.

 

*to ambassador of Russian Federation, not to a member of government of Russian Federation.

 

Point taken

Now all that needs to happen is that Sessions needs to recuse himself and we need a thorough investigation by a Special Prosecutor.

Problem solved.

 

You didn't bother reading the thread to inform youself before you jumped in, did you?

That fake RW propganda fake news meme you're repeating, that Sessions was not affiliated with the Trump campaign when he met with the Russians, was proved false hours ago in this thread.

No one is claiming that the meeting itself was improper ... yet.

But if he discussed how the Russians could influence the election in Trump's favor, that is a big time violation of duty and treason.

What is being claimed was that he lied about these meetings.

Sure. The AG lying under oath is a big sack of nothing, because he's a Republican, right?

Exhibit AL.

 

Can you prove that? I'll give you the same challenge I gave to the other guy with the partisan hack posts.

And can you explain why Jeff Sessions, whose position in the Senate required him to speak with foreign diplomats, should be forbidden from
talking to Russians? I'll bet not.

 

What's with all of the Russian phobia by the left ?

Hey...you got hacked and exposed being a corrupt banana republic political party.

Clean house, drain the swamp and get new leadership with in the DNC and remake yourself.

If it was the Russians who hacked the DNC and Pedosta e-mails they were doing the job that the MSM should have been doing. But it was exposed that the MSM is also corrupt and is in a collusion with the DNC.

It wasn't the federal government that got hacked but a corrupt private political organization (DNC) and a private citizen (Pedosta) who were hacked.

 

I was talking about Sessions saying "I did not have communications with the Russians" when in fact he did.

 

What has happened here is as obvious as the nose on your face to anyone but Trump's Minions. The 2016 election was stolen through Treasonous collusion with a foreign power, all that is needed is proof and we have one of the conspirators in our custody, all that is needed now is to pressure this one and the whole thing can be brought to light. If the Congress does not act on this now they are as guilty as the perpetrators

 

Sessions wasn't on the Foreign Relations Committee.

 

It was public knowledge only because someone witnessed it. There was no public documentation that the AG was meeting with Clinton. Because the meeting was discovered does not mean they would rather it not be...

Nope. Like I said, they were talking about their grandchildren. Don't you believe her?

He did neither. As I said, the only way you get there is through a wholly semantic argument based on your interpretation of the scope of the Franken question and the scope of the Sessions answer.

No, I don't. I think he didn't consider it pertinent to the question about meetings between people acting as Trump surrogates and Russian officials which was the accusation that Franken read from the debunked dossier.

 

He lied about the meetings IF (that's IF) he did so in his capacity as a Trump advisor. That's not been demonstrated or proved in any way....and there's your big sack of nothing once more. Enjoy.

 

It looks like (*)(*)(*)(*) smells like (*)(*)(*)(*) but the right has tasted it and declared it chocolate

But wonder why the left won't partake...........

 

Sessions met the Russian ambassador in the course of his normal duties as a Senator. Did Loretta Lynch meet with Bill Clinton in the normal course of her duties while Hillary and the Clinton Foundation were under investigation by the FBI? Did Loretta Lynch resign as AG?

 

No, he wasn't. He was asked what he would do in the situation where members of the Trump campaign had contact with Russian officials. He voluntarily stated on his own that he personally did not meet with any Russian officials.

That was a lie.

I did not know you were a communist.

 

Did Loretta Lynch meet with Bill Clinton in the normal course of her duties while Hillary and the Clinton Foundation were under investigation by the FBI? Did Loretta Lynch resign as AG? How about this It looked like (*)(*)(*)(*) smells like (*)(*)(*)(*) but the left had tasted it and declared it chocolate. The hypocrisy is breathtaking.
