Fake News: Media, Democrats Distort Remarks to Target Jeff Sessionshttp://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/03/01/jeff-sessions-fake-news-washington-post-misquote-used-target/Democrats and the media are once again targeting Attorney General Jeff Sessions — this time, over allegations that he met twice with the Russian ambassador during the 2016 presidential campaign.

In fact, what Sessions was asked about was sustained, ongoing communications — a core accusation in the dubious “dossier.”
