Sessions lied to Senators about Russian contacts

[greenman3610]

if he lied, you must not let it slide

Then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) spoke twice last year with Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Justice Department officials said, encounters he did not disclose when asked about possible contacts between members of President Trump’s campaign and representatives of Moscow during Sessions’s confirmation hearing to become attorney general.

1. Was Jefferson Beauregard under oath?

[C_U_L8R]

11. Evidently.

[Frogg]

2. One written denial and one voiced

[mountain grammy]

3. anybody want to bet Kislyak will be the next Russian to keel over.

Jefferson Beauregard Sessions, what a lying piece of shit you are.

[scscholar]

4. I would love to see proof of this

Why does the media keep talking about this without offering proof?

[Glimmer of Hope]

5. I don't see anything in the article that indicates how these discussions were discovered.

It is odd.

10. Sessions' own spokeswoman Flores said Sessions talked with Kislyak twice last year

But she and other Sessions' Justice staffers are downplaying the meetings, saying that meetings weren't about campaign and that Sessions didn't really remember much about what was discussed.

That is why Al Franken said Sessions failure to disclose those meetings was "misleading at best" since Sessions should have at least told the Senate that he had met with Kislyak and then Sessions should have explained whether or not the campaign had been discussed in those meetings with Kislak

[Glimmer of Hope]

12. Oh. Very misleading but on the face, his failure to disclose appears sketchy.

As an attorney, he should have done a better job answering questions asked by the confirmation committee.

13. The cover is that

....Sessions spoke as a Senator, which he still was. Not as a 45 campaign spokesman.

He'll skate.

[Maru Kitteh]

6. LOCK HIM UP.

[democratisphere]

7. But first, "You're fired!".

[Maru Kitteh]

9. Hand him the pink slip in his cell with the open toilet.

He won't have any pockets to put it in, but, that's okay too.

[JCMach1]

8. HE must go...

Perjury is not acceptable...

14. Damning video dossier done repeating Sessions denial of any Russian communications.

Holy Shit! This blows all of the denials by Reince Priebus lies and those of other lying Republicans out of the water.

They all knew. This disastrous republican treason field just keeps getting wider and wider.
