Anyone watching MSNBC? They have a special about trump/putin. They just got a

breaking news put out by Wapo. Sessions had contact with Russia more than once when working on the trump campaign. He was asked about it in the confirmation and denied it.

himself. He's tainted, as well as he lied in the confirmation hearing, not only by mouth, but in one of the written questions posed to him. Actually he should be asked to step down and be prosecuted for it.

Session might have to resign for lying under oath.
Oh hell yeah there better be an independent prosecutor.

Warren silenced for "impugning" Sessions honor when he needed no help impugning it himself.

Brian Williams is not a journalist, he is a fox news idiot. Cannot stand any of those idiots right now including Matthews. Amazing how an idiot reads from a teleprompter and these fuckers who enabled him are now on his side.

Mathews wanders all over the place.. Williams is a dumb male blond.. But Rachel has stepped up and has been tremendous over the past 6 months.. I had tons of issues before this.. Lawrence O’donnell has been tremendous for years.. Probably the best out there... Yea theres a lot of crap still on MSNBC ( Andrea Mitchell, Chris Mathews, Joe Scarburough ) just crap.
But we still need to support Rachel, Lawrence and Joy..
