Democrats Met With Russians

[Siete]

Trump supporters are desperately trying to follow the WH talking points designed to change the narrative and direction of this scandal. A US Senator meeting with representatives of foreign countries is not the issue. The issue is Presidential campaign people meeting with foreign officials. Session's was both a campaign official and a Senator. He is in trouble not for meeting with the foreign official, but misleading a Senate hearing committee or lying about it.

Jeff Sessions was part of the Trump campaign? That would be breaking news indeed.

Sessions was the first Senator to endorse Trump ans acted as an advisor to his campaign ... NEWS ! (to dumbasses)

Oh, so you can find the official list of Trump campaign officials that has Sessions listed as a member of the campaign, right? I'd be interested in such a list.

common knowledge Gomer, try and keep up ... campaign trail ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So you have a list where Jeff Sessions is part of the campaign staff? I'm not interested in pictures or nonsense about endorsements.

Unless Sessions was taking a paycheck from the Trump campaign or was officially listed as part of the campaign, he was NOT part of the Trump campaign.

So, provide a link to some official campaign document listing Sessions as part of the Trump campaign team.

why so you can whine fake news ? I doubt there is a "list of Trump campaign advisors"

but he was a Trump advisor regardless how fucking stupid you are.


Sessions chaired Trump national security advisory committee.

Sessions advised Trump on who to choose for vice president. (Sessions was also in the running himself for the No. 2 job.)

In fact, even if some one were a paid member of the campaign staff there would be nothing wrong with talking to the Russian ambassador.

Very true.

The entire scandal has two weak points for the GOP.

Sessions traveled to the GOP Convention on campaign funds. Not illegal, but it limits what he can do while at the convention. It appears that Sessions was approached by the Russian Ambassador, not the other way round, so he can't be held responsible for it.

The other issue they seem to be making dog shit about is the fact that while being vetted by the Senate, he did not admit to having spoken to Russian officials in any capacity. So, an issue has arisen regarding why he did not go back and correct the record afterward? Every nominee does it because no one can remember everything all the time and information left out of a Q&A can be amended into the record; even the Democrats do this.

So, then it becomes a matter of the questions he was asked. If the idiot from the Democrat party asked his questions about Russia in regard to Sessions being part of the Trump campaign, then Sessions had no real reason to go back to amend the record because he did not lie about his not having conversations with Russians on behalf of the Trump campaign, even after the election. He was never a member of the Trump campaign.

The record is correct as it stands. Sessions was asked twice about meeting with the Russian ambassador in specific contexts and he truthfully answered, no, he had not in those contexts. He was never asked if he had had any meetings with the Russian ambassador because nearly every important member of Congress had. There is absolutely nothing wrong with any American, even if he or she is a paid member of a campaign staff, meeting with the Russian ambassador.

This is hilarious!

Donald Trump’s Attempt To Shift Russia Focus To Chuck Schumer Is More Than A Little Desperate

He’s missing the point of the controversy.

TRUMP: We should start an immediate investigation into @SenSchumer and his ties to Russia and Putin. A total hypocrite!

FROM THE ALT-RIGHT SWAMP TO THE PRESIDENT’S MOUTH!

The point of this fake controversy is that Democrats are no fucking choirboys when it comes to dealing with Russians.

I said nothing about news, fake or otherwise.

So, there is no official record of Sessions being a member of the campaign. Therefore he could not have been acting in any official capacity for Donald Trump.

No, it is not. Presidential nominees have lots of consultants and advisors that are not formally on staff or paid. Even many so-called surrogates are not paid. They donate their services with the hopes of perhaps obtaining a position after the election.

Flashback: Chuck Schumer Meets with Putin in New York City

'Democrat Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer continues to push the Russia conspiracy.
But it was Schumer who met with Putin in New York City – not Trump.'



What can be heard from the Left on this most recent flaming bout of hypocrisy?

View attachment 115226

Only the ( deeply stupid ) would draw a comparison between this and the criminal act perpetrated by now Attorney General Session during his confirmation hearing.

Criminal?

Name the crime.

Wow, open your mouth and leave no doubt. Attorney General Sessions lied to congress while under oath. That's a crime even he agrees, is in fact a crime.

oh is that that double standard thingy your pulling out? well leave it in, pretendland is yours to live in.

Now its the lying filth Dem's who have egg on their faces. I love how all the pictures of Dem's meeting with the Russians are surfacing and exposing their blatant LIES, choke on it Dem's.

You Trump sycophants are so pathetic. Desperately trying to blow smoke. The FBI and Congress are not investigating Democrats for their connections to Russia.

The fact is that Putin has engaged in a campaign to recreate the old Soviet Union. He is not doing it with tanks and guns alone. In eastern Europe he has backed a number of violent coup attempts against Eastern European governments in a attempt to replace them with leaders sympathetic to Moscow. In Ukraine, Russia invaded and took by force Crimea. The separatists in Ukraine are a Russian invention.

In the West, Russia has engaged in a campaign to link up with alt-right movements. In the US Russians successfully hacked DNC servers and gave the hacked e-mails to WikiLeaks with a few phony e-mails. In France Marine LaPenn has received Russian money while her main opponent has suffered hacking attacks. The goal is to put in leaders that will do nothing as Russia gobbles up territory. Sweden is concerned enough to consider starting up conscription.

Those who live in glass houses should never throw stones.

Where’s the outrage?

Democrat Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer continues to push the Russia conspiracy.But it was Schumer who met with Putin in New York City – not Trump.

The picture above was taken in 2003 as Russian President Vladimir Putin, right, enjoys a Krispy Kreme doughnut and coffee with Senator Charles Schumer from New York as Putin visits the first New York gas station of the Russian company Lukoil.

The hysteria over Trump administration officials talking — or not talking — with Russia needs to end.

It’s getting in the way of putting America back on track.

You don't understand then. There is a legal standard that is being applied. Simply because the Democrats want to crucify Sessions, does not mean that they have achieved that burden.

Unless an advisor is paid or made part of the official staff (being paid would do that) then he or she are individuals who are responsible for their own actions as separate entities.

I have written a number of advisory items to the Trump campaign. Specifically, I detailed a way they could handle the media fairly and still keep them under control.

That does not make me an advisor (though I offered advice in a political setting), nor does it make me an official member of the Trump campaign or part of his administration.

I understand you have to have things in a specific way so that you can continue your witch hunt, but your wants don't really factor into this.

You misunderstand what I meant by context. Franken asked him about contacts with Russians in the context of false rumors about Trump being blackmailed by the Russians, and Sessions answered accurately that he had not. Leahy asked him if he had had any contact with the Russian government about the 2016 election, and Sessions answered accurately he had not. The questions were about whether he had had contact with the Russian government in these two specific contexts and he had not. If they had asked him if he had had any contacts with the Russian government in any context and he had answered, no, then there might have been some question of perjury, but that was not the case.

Did Sessions ‘Lie’?

being from the Reagan era anything Russian gives me pause, especially when KGB Putin is on the prowl killing his own people and seeing The Trump Cartel kissing his ass while he does it

And some don't know or refuse to acknowledge the difference between diplomatic talks and negotiations noticed to the WORLD and unlawful secret backroom deal making. Yup, you're on top of it all citing fucking Drudge. DAMN!

Another OP FAIL!

Nope...we know about that too...the 140 million dollars given to hilary clinton when she was Secretary of State, given by putin controlled energy companies and laundered through the clinton foundation........and the backroom deal making is on the 33,000 emails she destroyed with BleachBit......and all the Russians got out of the deal was 20% of our Uranium...since she was supposed to be President...but lost...

UHHHH...

You grabbed the wrong meme from your wrong meme box of memes! This topic's ALL about the trump & Co. administration and their bullshit dealings before and after trump was fucking sworn in, dipstick. Trying to conflate two different sets of circumstances attempting to link them as equivalent is stupid partisanship on display, FOOL! Go back to sleep!
