Did Sessions unthinkingly perjure: IOW, did he delibrately lie or not?

[radical right]

But that wasn't the question. Franken asked "if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?"

That was the question asked. Anything said before doesn't matter. That was the question asked of Sessions.

Anything said before doesn't matter???!!!

DIRECTLY before??? TWO SECONDS before??? As PART OF THE QUESTION before???

Okay, never mind. I'm not going to burn any more time on this.

This whole thing is blowing up in the democrats face! LMFAO

Only in la la land w here you live is that true.

Well it's a bomb going off and no one really saw it coming. Well, people who actually knew what the FBI had about Trump - Russia contacts knew. And there's still more to come.

Much more to come.

I think maybe Comey decided neither Clinton nor Trump were worthy to be POTUS. Thus, he fixed Clinton's little red wagon and waited for Trump to come hopping down the bunny trail.

Comey's arrogant enough, but I think it's more about incompetence coupled with the two most loathsome potus candidates of some time.

And Bernie was a midget.

"hyperventilating faux outrage", such as DCBL, is not the point.

What Sessions did indeed is worrisome and of great concern to the American public and its welfare.

Hey Jake. Obama's State Department set up Sessions to meet with all the ambassadors at the Heritage Foundation event.

That's a set up.

What is worrisome is Obama's strategy of setting up Trump and his administration using his Intelligence agents to sabotage the new adminstration.

Really not good Jake.

 

[tinydancer]

anyone that has even the teensy tiniest bit of common sense knows that Jeff Sessions did not lie.

Everybody knows Sessions lied, the question is whether it was perjury.

No he didn't lie. The fucking media keeps editing Franken's whole question to Sessions. It zeroed in on the campaign. Just like Leahy's did. Try reading the whole question sparky. Then you would realize Sessions answered honestly.

Even the Justice Department came out and said Sessions was only acting in his capacity as a Senator and as a Senior member of the Armed Services committee.

 

[JakeStarkey]

No set up at all, td. No one forced Sessions to say one thing under oath and then another later.

Sessions apparently set himself up.

Really not good, td.

It's inexplicable is what it is. There is nothing wrong with him, or Flynn, or anyone having contact with Russian officials. There'd not have been anything wrong with Flynn actually asking "how can we resolve the Ukraine dispute?" There wouldn't have been anything wrong with Sessions making that same inquiry. Even under the Logan act, that nobody follows anyway, there has to be some offer of we'll do this if you do that. No one in their right mind would trust Putin enough to make a deal that wasn't enforceable or that they could come to the public and say "Putin lied and is going back on his word."

So why didn't Sessions just say "I met with the ambassador twice, but we just talked about generalities and how we could have better communications.?" It's that fact that Sessions lied

Because he was answering the questions that were asked. All about the campaign. Sessions never discussed campaign matters either time.

The Franken question and the Leahy question did not generalize. They were specific questions regarding the campaign.

He did not lie. AND the Justice Department backs him up. Now Jake. Remember this up and coming. Pushback is coming.

When a former President decides to co ordinate an attack on not only the campaign of the opposition by using intel but then decides to strategically sabotage the new adminstration THAT WAS VOTED IN BY THE PEOPLE.....

That's treason. Because Obama is not just attacking Trump. The Democrats are not just attacking Trump. They are waging war on the American people.

 

[Mac1958]

The Franken question and the Leahy question did not generalize. They were specific questions regarding the campaign.

They're going out of their way to not take the question and answer in context.

One of them even told me, after I posted the full question and answer, that "it didn't matter" (see post 193 here: Did Sessions unthinkingly perjure: IOW, did he delibrately lie or not?)

It may turn out that there in indeed is something there. But right now, at this point, this is nothing more than transparent partisan politics. Again.

No, you don't get "just once more." And neither should JC456: it was jc's statement that was false, not that of Hutch.

 

[Rambunctious]

Sure.
It's blowing up so badly that Session has recused himself and by doing so he got the Dems 3/4 of the way to getting a special prosecutor

Keep dreaming...he said he would recuse himself from any investigation of the Trump campaign because he was part of the campaign. The righteous decent thing to do. I will bet any liberal on this board any amount of money that Sessions is going to be the AG for the next 8 years.

So he says, and so the investigation will determine. There was something wrong when Flynn lied to Pence and ended his career.

 

[Rambunctious]

Pelosi said today she has never met with the Russian ambassador and less than 30 mins later a reporter showed her several pictures of her and the Russian ambassador at several different events. You've got to love that....What a lying buffoon she is. Shouldn't that old bitch retire?

 

[JakeStarkey]

tinydancer says, "He did not lie." That is an opinion and no fact.

DOJ does not back him up. What it is, I think, is Comey, realizing that both candidates were awful, hung Clinton and now is leading out enough rope for Trump to hang himself.

Being at a soiree is not meeting the ambassador, silly one.

Sorry Jake but Flynn is still working for the administration in an advisory roll. He hasn't gone away. And he won't.

Pictures with him at dinners and in her office? Nice try libs......NOT BUUUUAAAAHAHAHAHAHA
Pelosi and her staff said they have no comment.....BUUUUAAAAHAHAHAHA

He has no contact. The Flynn Intel Group contacts are handled by his son.

Sure Jake you keep telling yourself that.
