Goodbye Sessions lol. How far does this go?

[Lewdog]

The thing is, it doesn't matter what it appears he talked to them about. He said he hadn't talked to the Russians, when if it was innocent conversations all he had to do was explain himself. Him lying, then backing up his lies by saying the reports are lies, just tells me his meetings were not innocent ones.

According to the article, Sessions was asked in his confirmation hearing about meetings with the Trump campaign, not meetings that were the normal condition of his job in the Senate.

Your lying tells me you are biased....... but we already knew that.

What lie? He was asked if he had any contact with the Russians. He said NO. He was working a two pronged role as a Senator AND Trump campaign advisor at the time. All he had to do was say was "Yes it had to do with business related to my role as a Senator." He didn't. He lied.

You're calling someone a liar for giving an opinion on something tells me you don't even know what a lie is.

Actually, no he wasn't asked if he had any contact with the Russians. The fact that your claiming he was tells anyone familiar with the exchange that you aren't familiar with what he was asked or how he responded.

He was asked if ANYONE involved with the Trump campaign had contact with the Russians. In his response he said he was a surrogate of the Trump campaign, and in the next breath said he hadn't had contact with the Russians... this is about as simple as things can possibly get.

. Good grief... He said he wasn't a surrogate all though he was called that a few times in which he laughed about because it wasn't true. You people can't help but lie, and lie, and lie, and lie.

Hey dipshit, I posted an article that shows Trump named him an advisor on his campaign team. You're a dumbass for calling me a liar when it is right in front of your face.

. He didn't talk to them in the context for which the Democrat head hunters are hoping for. It's all about the context of the conversations as pertaining to the accusations or investigation in which is accusing someone of something. Now if what they are accusing sessions of, wasn't the context of his contact with Russian officials, then he didn't lie by saying he didn't speak to the Russians while thinking about the context in which the question was being asked of him. Nothing to see here folks.

They did not ask him if he talked to the Russians about meddling in the elections. They just asked him if he, as a member of Trump's campaign, had talked to the Russians. He had talked to the Russians while he was a member of the Trump campaign, yet he said no. It's pretty cut and dry. If he didn't talk to the Ambassador of Russia about Trump's campaign, all he had to have done was say that he had talked to the Russians, but that it had nothing to do with Trump. Sessions as a lawyer and a judge, would know this very clearly... that his answers are indeed a lie, despite how some want to read into them. His types of answers is the same type of answers that get regular citizens thrown in jail with a guilty verdict in a court of law.

. So the questions were misleading, and they were carefully worded in order to set the AG up ?? Yes they were, and your post here confirms it. Now what penalties are there for intentionally misleading the Attorney General Jeff Sessions with an attempt to set him up in this way ? Franken should be investigated to see if there was any collusion between him and any of his colleagues in trying to set the AG up in this way. You people are getting caught in your own traps.

Think you got that backwards sir... It can be a crime to lie or intentionally mislead congress with testimony. There was nothing tricky about Franken's question, he asked what Sessions would do if there was evidence of Trump surrogates communicating with Russians. Sessions decided not to answer the question and volunteered the statement calling himself a surrogate and falsely proclaiming that he had no communication with the Russians. He could have easily said that he had meetings as a Senator but not as a surrogate but he didn't... Could have been a simple brain fart or it could have been an intentional deception. Flynn has already been fired over similar circumstances so this is a big deal.

For Sessions it could be a big misunderstanding and if so then thats fine. But he has said multiple times that he didn't communicate with the Russians and now there is evidence to the contrary so he is either mistaken, lying, or not being completely forthcoming. Either way, it is a fair discussion to have and worth investigating. He did the right thing by recusing himself from the investigation. I think thats as far as its going to go.

. Any question posed by Franken was carefully thought out, and was designed to trip Sessions up I believe (Franken not being genuine), and it was to make him "Senator Jeff Sessions" after taking the bait to appear exactly in the ways that you have now taken the bait on also. It didn't work though, because just as your brain is telling you also in this reply, that something isn't right, and you are inclined to believe Sessions in the situation it seems to me. Franken I believe, is or thinks he is a master of deceptive practices in his speak, and he has since perfected this art in his celebrity career where as fooling people is key, and then making them laugh about it afterwards is evil... He (Franken) figured his act could be applied greatly in politics, and he may have been right.

Your getting a little too far off the tracks here. Frankens question was clearly geared to get Sessions on the record stating what he would do if evidence was presented showing communication between the Trump campaign and Russia. Not that tricky. If you listen closely you'll hear sessions avoiding answering the question and volunteering the personal statements of misinformation that got him in this mess. Your finger point at Franken is misguided

. Your opinion, but I listened to the way Franken delivered the questions with his snake charming way.

They have accused the Russians of hacking the election, and therefore robbing Hillary's chances of winning in which was a lie. This made the Russians toxic to anyone talking to them in the regular context of normal business, and if anyone so much as communicated with them, then they must be guilty of something or even guilty of a crime. If Obama accused the Russians of something they didnot do (hack or influence) the election, and has caused all of this trouble, then he should be brought up on charges. The Demon-crats used the word INFLUENCE because they know that such a word would be broad in scope, and in interpretation.. They (the Dem accusers for political purposes), figure by way of such a word that it would be impossible for them to be accused of a crime by way of this word used if it all backfired on them. They are carefully choosing such words in so that they can get away with what they are up to, and yet escape justice if their game is figured out. Watch the words they use, and then think about what is going on here.

That's it true. There is clear evidence that the Russians interfered with our election. There are plenty, even on the Right, that want it investigated, not because they think it changed the results of the election but because it's important to know exactly to what extent they interfered to provide an appropriate response.

Yes many in the left are completely politicizing the Russia situation to deligitimize Trump, but that doesn't take away from the reality of the situation.

So then Obama has to be appropriately charged with abuse of power for interfering with the Israeli elections. And CNN for our elections.

I don't know anything about that but sure if that's what you think, although it sounds like you are making excuses for Russia, is that right?

. You got something against Russia ? Why ?? Did they not suffer enough trying to bend over backwards for us ?? Mr. Gorbachev, TEAR DOWN THIS WALL. They did, and then we got Yeltsin bending over backwards for us in transforming the Soviet Union, and then we backed the Afghan rebels against them in Afghanistan, and on and on it went. Now we are treating them as toxic, and our enemy over politics or Hillary ?

Google Vladimir Putin and read up on some of the things he's been up to over the past decade. Besides that they interfered in our election. That is a crime that needs to be responded to. Partisanship aside, this is a national security issue.

2) Sessions couldn't therefore answer Frankens question in the context of being a Trump surrogate.

Every intelligence agency in the country said the Russians hacked the DNC and Podesta's e-mails, DUHhhhh

And every other persons in every other country, like Geico says: "it's what they do"
But why leave out the fact they tried hacking the Republican party and other people of this nation? Why leave out that they do this to find out our plans including sanctions against Russia? They do it for their defense like we do it for ours. Why leave out vital info unless you are trying to manipulate it through
YOUR PROPAGANDA. So by causing destabilization and hindering your own gov't then aren't you working for Russia and Iran in helping them do what they themselves couldn't but want to do? Aren't you guys acting treasonous?

Putin hacked to weaken Hillary. End of story. The rest is Pubcrappe.

If anything they supported our election, and they supported the candidate Trump over Hillary, but it doesn't mean they were able to infiltrate the election, and therefore change the results. Trump is right to be happy he had those in power in the world supporting his style, and his being elected to the Presidency.

. Yes, Netanyahu should call for Obama's extradition to Israel so he can stand trial there for trying to undermine that election. Egypt should also call for his extradition for attempting to undermine it's reaction to the brotherhood trying to take over Egypt, and calling for Egypt to place Morsi back into power as the new democratically elected leader there. And he wanted this no matter what the Egyptians new about the situation in their own nation ? On and on it goes.

Democracy is not a crime. Too bad the Brotherhood blew it. So did Maliki.

Look in your dictionary. Adviser and Surrogate are two different things.

sur·ro·gate
noun
a substitute, especially a person deputizing for another in a specific role or office.

ad·vis·er
noun
a person who gives advice, typically someone who is expert in a particular field.

One speaks TO the candidate, the other speaks FOR the candidate.

Supporting is very different than interfering... Hacking and leaking information and whatever else they may have done, which is why it needs to be investigated. Nobody is talking about going to war, but I don't see why turning a blind eye is a good solution.
