Jeff Sessions Just Issued A Statement That Made The Russia Scandal Worse For Trump ...

[HipChick]

It won't be the first time, they tried to put a fire out, and created an inferno instead...

Attorney General Sessions issued a statement in response to allegations that he lied under oath about contacts with Russia that was a denial that made it clear that special prosecutor is necessary.

Here is the Sessions statement:

The problem with Sessions denial is that it contradicts itself. Attorney General Sessions doesn’t deny meeting with Russia, but he also claims that they didn’t talk about the campaign.

By admitting that he met with Russian officials, Sessions has opened the door for more questions about who he met with, when did he meet with them, and what did they talk about?
The Sessions denial wasn’t a flat and firm denial, and that makes life even more difficult for Donald Trump.
The Attorney General could have answered that he never met with Russia period, but he didn’t say that. Sessions said something different that he met with Russia, but it wasn’t about the campaign.The questions surrounding the Trump campaign’s relationship with Russia have become overwhelming. Instead of putting out the fire, Jeff Sessions may have started an inferno.

Does he lie for Trump or throw him under the bus?

[kentuck]

Age 61?

[Elwood P Dowd]

[C_U_L8R]

Different guy. But it sure seems like a lot of
people are dying around the periphery of the
Trump-Putin Conspiracy

[herding cats]

22. No, this is the one who will die next week.

[BannonsLiver]

9. This racist, treasonous asshole deserves the clink!

[Yavin4]

11. Sessions is following the Flynn pattern

You admit that you talked to the Russians, but you deny what it was about. Next, you claim that you mis-remember.

[susanna]

12. 'It's not the lie; it's the cover-up' (paraphrase) might apply here... n/t

damn, that didn't take long.

on edit: clarity because damn that was fast

[rdking647]

15. disbar the fucker

someone in alabama needs to file a formal complaint with eteh state bar to disbar him for ethical violations

[disalitervisum]

16. Let's hope that if Sessions goes, he will

take his wonderfully light-hearted and fun-loving long-time principal aide, Stephen Miller, with him.

[busterbrown]

20. That Steve Miller?

Boy what a charming man.......With a face like his... Nothing but sweetness emanates ...

[ffr]

17. Boom! Another lying Republican who colluded and gave comfort to an adversary of the U.S.A.

This is huge! The tRump traitor dominoes are starting to fall.

[nikibatts]

18. I will go on record here that these two times are not the only times he met with Russians during

the campaign.

[fleabiscuit]

19. i wonder if he thinks about the interception of communications sent by the ambassador? nt

[world wide wally]

21. Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier

[susanna]

24. LOL - first I heard of that one. Gonna use it. n/t

[Bernardo de La Paz]

25. Did Sessions EVER meet the Russian Ambassador before those 2 times?

Not just bumping into at a reception or something, but meet in a similar way, ever, before?

It seems unusual.

[eppur_se_muova]

26. "Well, that would depend on what the meaning of the word 'is' is ..."

Didn't R's used to love to criticize D's for parsing the language too closely ? I guess IOKIYAR (yet again) ...

[TexasBushwhacker]

31. And their hair was on fire when

Bill Clinton said "I did not have sexual relations with that woman."

It seems positively quaint now.

[Bozvotros]

27. "I didn't talk to the Russians"

"Before I talked to them."

[dhill926]

[Tactical Peek]

29. What we have here is a non-denial denial.
