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

Very nice and totally worthy of your mentality.  I don't want an echo chamber but I would appreciate the occasional burst of common sense and courtesy.

Like it or not this is a story and I am posting it here. Whether you agree with it or not.


Don't like it, check out Free Republic. JimRob could use your monthly btw.

[XenaLee]

Go back to Free Republic if you want an echo chamber.

Get the hell outta the kitchen if ya can't stand the heat.

This is an open debate forum where all opinions are welcome.  Get.... a..... clue.

There are people here who have vested interests that make them fear the Trump administration every bit as much as the democrats.  That is just a fact that we are going to have to live with.

Be nice WTF..Emjay is a well respected member here as you are...

[LonestarDream]

But as usual.... the idiot left (and their useful idiot tools) are spinning and twisting (lying) this into a big effing deal (pardon ref to BigMouthJoe).

Trump should leak the NSA intercepts on ALL of them, if they are going to misuse the intelligence.

And then After we have destroyed some Dem careers, reverse Obama's order and make it illegal to use NSA intercepts on American citizens. 

[Silver Pines]

WOW...this is how orchestrated this is...demonstrators outside WH yelling *lock him up*....with professional made signs.

@mystery-ak

They've probably been hunting for something since the address the other night, and the positive reaction to it.

I think Sessions ought to nip it in the bud and tell the press that A) he was specifically being asked about the campaign and B)meeting with ambassadors is part of his job, and he didn't expect his colleagues to be intellectually dishonest enough to try and pretend otherwise.

[LonestarDream]

Exactly right.

That's exactly what he should say..but will he?

I thought I had seen your weakest beer. Of course this is just a variation on a worn out theme.

[LonestarDream]

In an interview with Fox News Thursday, White House press secretary Sean Spicer said Sessions was “100% straight with the committee” and that Democrats were playing politics, adding that "there's nothing" for Sessions "to recuse himself" from.

You haven't even been here a year and you want to turn it into FR.

Nothing Sessions can say at this point will make a dime's worth of difference. Declassify and release the transcripts and to hell with this investigation circus.

Remember that SC Congressman who yelled out at Obama's SOTU?

What he said.

It would shock me if he did.

If Trump believes in Sessions, he needs to stick by him. Otherwise Sessions should resign.

Trump is finished if they get Sessions.    The blood will be in the water and it will only attract more sharks.

Without question!  There is NO doubt about it!

[Victoria33]

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
@CatherineofAragon

Not only did he meet this man in his office where he meets other ambassadors, he also talked with him at the Republican Convention.  Since when does the Russian Ambassador go to a Republican Convention?  That is the one I think is strange.

Sessions could have talked about both times, explaining them, and that would be that, but saying he DID NOT meet/talk with any Russians, was just wrong.  I hope he can recuse himself from that case and stop this. 

He will speak to the press at 3 pm, central time.

[geronl]

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

lying by omission is still lying

Did Sessions resign from the Senate already??

[dfwgator]

lying by omission is still lying

So should he have told them everyone he has ever met?   Did you ever have this level of standard for any Democrat?

[DCPatriot]

And this is supposedly a conservative group.  Although some people proudly proclaim they've left the GOP and one wonders.... for what?

Just like Donald Trump winning in November.....I 'saw' this happening in here over a GD year ago.

It's a disgrace.
