Exactly...everyone on Cap Hill had to know that the Russian Amb was on Cap Hill and meeting with Sessions...why Sessions didn't mention this is beyond me...the Dems have been waiting for this gotcha moment for weeks.

@mystery-ak

Yep.  It was as if he's unaware of the current climate.  He should have known to cross every T.

Well he was on the US armed services committee. The question is did he lie and why?

First of all, somebody around here evidently watches the Today Show, which would be okay if they kept it to themselves.

I want to know who else Sessions talked to last year?  Ashton Kutcher?  Mary Tyler Moore?

We need to find out now before he does more harm.

Claire McKaskill says she was on the same Armed Services Committee for ten years and never had a meeting with a Russian ambassador. Yet she tweeted about two: https://twitter.com/charlescwcooke/status/837303885664563200/photo/1

This is nothing more than the left trying to get rid of yet another one of President Trump's cabinet picks. The left's weapon is to associate anyone and everyone in Trump's administration with Putin and Russia with the goal of tarnishing their record and reputation so much that they are forced to step down.  The left is continuing to pick apart President Trump's administration so that time is spent on battling their false accusations instead of spending time on focusing on heading this country in a different direction. From the onset the left has tried to delegitimize this presidency and will continue to do so.  The left hates Sessions as he has the authority to drain the swamp; they'd much rather have someone like Holder or Lynch continuing to feed the cesspool that has swallowed D.C.

Quite frankly, I'm sick of those that side with the left and continue to feed their cesspool by posting their crap in this forum and I'm sick of those in the media who pick apart President Trump by reporting on such ridiculous things as the President is now wearing a better tailored suit or Melania shouldn't have worn sequinned clothing to a Congressional speech.  Give me a break; that isn't journalism or anything newsworthy; it's simply being spiteful and petty.

You said it all so perfectly that nothing more needs to be said but I'm sure it will be.

Being horribly wrong and totally idiotic does not stop some people.

Sessions, like Flynn, admitted to having undisclosed contact with Russian officials.

He didn't lie.  He answered the question, which was in the context of contacts on behalf of the campaign.

The DEMS questioned and drilled him before they voted on his appointment ... they are out to destroy him and anyone else President Trump appointed ... yet these same members allowed Holder and Lynch to get away with looking the other way time and time again.

Either we stick with this President or we watch our country sink into an abyss.

It looks to me like some here are allowing their hatred of Trump to subsequently allow the rabid left to succeed in destroying the Trump presidency.  If that happens, the nation is doomed and the radical extremist left will have snatched victory from the jaws of their defeat.... with the help of these clueless individuals (and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt here re: being clueless).

This is a war, folks.  Pick a side.

Not getting why McMaster hurts? Is Trump a dummy or what?
Regardless, Mosul will be a one off and the high water mark, if the War on Trump rages unabated.

I KNOW you can see that.

Mc Master is a disaster.

Did they ever investigate Teddy Kennedy for contacting the KGB back in the 80s, you know, back when Russia REALLY was our enemy?

What did Sessions do wrong here?  He properly answered the question that was asked of him.

@skeeter

I agree.  No doubt Franken and a lot of other people in the room knew that part of Sessions' job is meeting with ambassadors.

I'm taking back my previous post in which I said Sessions should have been up front...that wasn't the right wording.  I think he should have specified that, of course, he met with them in his senatorial capacity, but as part of the campaign---no.  He ought to have known he was opening himself up to be trapped otherwise.

Agree, in hindsight Sessions, and the rest of them, should be painfully specific when dealing with these shysters.

Agreed...unfortunately Paul Ryan held a press conference and has asked for Session's recusal if further investigated and CNN is all over this!
