all signs point to the FBI having substantial info on the Russian connection

[wacojoe]

I heard he was seen drinking some vodka too.
Pretty damned suspicious some would say.

[2ndthyme]

It's clear now that Mr Sessions committed perjury on the subject

[TxMusky]

Did he have caviar with that vodka is the big question.

Jeez folks will the big baby Dems ever get over this? The Dems nominated a corrupt old hag to head their party, this same hag had sold them a large portion of American uranium for a donation to her foundation and now they are saying the Russians hacked her political campaign? Some things are just made for an episode of the Twilight Zone. I will ask again, how many actual votes have been credited to the Trump campaign taken from the hilliary campaign due to the Russians?

The Dems got hammered by the response to Trumps speech and they and their biased MSM have to come up with a smoke screen to try and hedge that and keep the hatred faced on Trump. Typical liberal BS that will not amount to a hill of beans in the long run and will persuade more people to come to the conclusion that the Dem party is finished.

I regularly talk with police officers who are known to have been in contact with the deputy who caused a fatal accident...But I had no prior knowledge of his actions...

I have had private conversations with members of our County Commissioners Court who are alleged to have discussed county business in violation of the open meetings act...I was not there for those alleged meetings, and you can't prove I was...

I have discussed personal and public topics in private conversations with my congressman, who now chairs a powerful House Committee, but I didn't buy him drinks on the night he was arrested for DUI in another state ten years ago...The bartender is lying if he says I was there...

I welcome the opportunity for open hearings where you can present any evidence against me...

Let Sessions get to work, and you can crucify him if he screws up on the job......Ben

but Ben, did you testify under oath that you did not meet with those ppl?

You might want to check the exact wording of his statement on the matter, when asked he responded with he had never met with Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign.

Really people, just look at where he had contact with the Russians, both places where the public could find out easily who was there. Once he saw the Russians as part of a speech he gave to many ambassadors and they approached as he was leaving the stage, and the second was an office visit where issues between America and Russia were discussed, not campaign issues.

During the confirmation hearings he was asked point blank about communications between Russians and the Trump campaign, not about meetings as a Senator and a member of the armed services committee. I'm not a spy or anything but if you were going to do something as brash as commit treason against your Country, I doubt you would do it in plain sight or in your own office.

One other reason to throw this BS away is Pelosi and that moron Franken are the ones pushing this along with another moonbat Cummings. All three of those idiots together would not qualify for the 3 monkey, hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil poster.

2 problems

if Sessions didn't remember the meetings, then he cannot reliably remember what was discussed

No other members of the armed services committee met with the Russian ambassador last yr. That is the foreign relations committee job, not armed services.


Now we have the related story that Obama officials made moves to preserve evidence of Russian involvement when they realized how serious the matter might be and that the incoming admin could scrub the record. FBI leaks have told reporters to look at these 2 stories as related!

but Ben, did you testify under oath that you did not meet with those ppl?

Subsequent investigation will clear me of these obviously misleading charges...One of my Peke-a-Poo secretaries will be happy to accept any subpoena you have on my behalf......Ben

he wasn't asked if he met with a Russian, he was asked what his response to the allegations might be, he stupidly committed perjury by volunteering information that wasn't asked of him.

wait wait, he gave a speech about ambassadors at the Republican convention?

[2ndthyme]

so let me ask this, when the POTUS was being charged with perjury for lying about his extramarital affair, did any of you say, this is silly, let the man get on with his job?

From your link...

asked in the hypothetical during his confirmation hearing as Attorney General what he would do if he learned a member of Trump's campaign had communicated with the Russian government over the course of the 2016 campaign, Sessions responded: “I’m not aware of any of those activities .

Read the highlighted "A member of Trumps campaign"

If he met them after a speech on the side of the stage, obviously they were not there to pass secret handshakes and money satchels. Not to mention there were many other ambassadors with them, it was not a secret meeting.

Let me tell you what would be considered a secret meeting....the one where Bill Clinton met with the official AG on her airplane on a tarmac at the airport...while his wife was under FBI investigation and her office would be the one to prosecute the case. Now that is a GD story right there!!

Having a casual conversation with somebody in front of a whole delegation of ambassadors after a public speech is not. In his official duties he met again briefly in his office, again, not as a member of the campaign and certainly not an official nominee of any Trump admin. SO again, where is the actual proof that Russians swayed or stole one single vote or electoral college vote? If that evidence can not be presented then all of the yakking and finger pointing in the world means absolutely nothing.

And the liberals can be accused of being stupidly used by the Obama gang as they are the ones throwing all this crap out there. He can not stand being out of the spotlight and has got to be a pain in the ass one more time before his legacy is sunk lower than the Titanic.


Also, Sessions has already volunteered to recuse himself if he needs to. Why the big uproar about his? You are fighting a battle that has already been fought. Did Loretta Lynch recuse herself after she met with Bill? Liberals just need a cause, it does not have to be a real one, just something to bitch about. It must be horrible to be that unhappy in life.

You might be surprised to know that at the time I was sick of hearing about Willy and willy jr and monica. He should have just come out and said "Yep, look at what I was doing and left it at that". Then all he had to deal with was a mad wife and not a bunch of jealous politicians. Take the wind out of their sails early and the game is over, guess who does that with all sorts of success now, Donald Trump. He might have learned a thing or two from Billy boy.

Also I might add, compared to your post yesterday about Kellyanne having her feet on the couch, that pales in comparison to what Bill was doing on that same couch Hey , you brought it up

[wacojoe]

When I was a child, the kids in the neighborhood invented a game we called "Mystery Car." We noted at night that some passing cars appeared to have no driver in them. We would sit and conjur up stories to fit the illusion. There were lots of "mystery cars" if you only wanted to see them.

[2ndthyme]

you're mistaken about my post on KellyAnn, I didn't say anything about her sitting on the couch, the joke was about her alternative facts... and the reference to Tokyo Rose is the job of a propagandist
