Here Are The Facts On The Jeff Sessions Controversy

[Care4all]

Would anyone ELSE like to address the following statement, in bold?

Sarah Isgur Flores, a Justice Department spokesperson, said Sessions met with Kislyak in his capacity as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and not on behalf of the Trump campaign. She says Sessions had 25 such meetings with envoys from foreign powers during that period, including the Sir Peter John Westmacott, the British ambassador, and Kenichirō Sasae, the Indian ambassador.

“He was asked during the hearing about communications between Russia and the Trump campaign — not about meetings he took as a senator and a member of the Armed Services Committee,” Flores said.

.

And, even his meeting as a Senator from the Armed Service Committee as he stated....

Out of ALL THE MEMBERS of the Armed Service Committee, why did the Russian Ambassador CHOOSE Sessions to meet with and NOT any of the other Armed service committee senators?

Could it be that the Russian Ambassador chose Sessions BECAUSE Sessions was PART pf the Trump team? YOU BETCHA!

And at this time of the meeting, all over the news was the Russians hacking the DNC....yet Sessions chose to meet with the Russian SPY anyway...yes, the Ambassador was a KNOWN spy to us.

Flores is LYING

Okay, what did Sessions and the Russian guy talk about when they met?

If we have some proof, then we'll know Sessions and Flores are lying.

I think you will be surprised very shortly that someone will come forward and say that they heard Sessions talking to the Russian Ambassador at the Republican National Convention about the campaign.

That would be fine, at least we'd have some kind of evidence. Right now all we have is conjecture, so it looks politically motivated.

The USSR used to own the Democrat Party. In 1984, Ted Kennedy sold it to them to help beat Reagan. After the USSR collapsed they had to sell everything including their interest in the Democrat which Soros picked up for a few cents on the dollar

This is 2017 Frankie, Sessions lied UNDER OATH to Sen Franken and to all the American people.

He's top cop in this Nation, we don't need or want a perjurer, and weasel as our top cop.....

There was no perjury. You can say it as many times as you want, but all it proves is your mental disorder.

SESSIONS LIED THRU HIS TEETH

AND it was INTENTIONAL, with purpose to deceive, so he could gt consent of the Senate.

And pay attention, this doesn't say in September of 2016, this says in ALL of 2016.

"Attorney General Jeff Sessions is in hot water over revelations that he met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak twice last year, despite seeming to have said twice that no such meetings took place. Sessions’s defense hinges on the idea that the meetings had nothing to do with the 2016 campaign or with his work as a Trump adviser, but related instead to his status as a US senator and a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee.

One problem here: Of the 26 members of the Senate Armed Services Committee, 25 of them told the Washington Post they had zero meetings with Kislyak in 2016."

Is there something incorrect about the Flores quote?.

Yes there is, ABSOLUTELY there is controversy and it is about the blatant lying, lying again, about RCs.

You didn't address any part of the quote. I keep asking for specifics from the Dems on this, and I just can't get them.

Rediculous, I directly addressed The quote by specifying that OP's claim that there is no controversy is fact free statement

Actually, in the post I quoted, you called it a "fact free thread".

Now, again, what is wrong with Flores' quote, precisely?

They talked about SOMETHING WORTH LYING ABOUT.

So you don't know what they talked about, and you're just ignoring the fact that Sessions was on the Foreign Relations Committee.

This is the same silliness the Republicans tried to pull on Obama: Take a kernel of truth and just make the rest up for political advantage.

This is why partisans have zero credibility.
.

I don't know what they talked about but here is what I do know:

1. Sessions intentionally misled the congress, there is not a single other explanation of what happened that makes any fucking sense. He didn't misunderstand the question, he knew that congress certainly was interested to hear of ANY meetings, in whatever capacity between him and the Russian and he clearly mislead everyone that heard his testimony to think that he never met with Russian operatives during campaign

2. At the time Sessions and Kislyak meetings Russians had ONE PRIME AGENDA - the campaign for the next president of the United States, this bullshit about how Kislyak contacted no one else on the Armed services Committee except for the person at the core of Trump's campaign and did so to chit-chat about number of planes or something is reason defying.

3. Sessions was not the only one lying, there also Flynn who ALSO was lying in very similar matter about the meetings with Russians (they didn't ask him about the Armed Services related stuff did they?). It is VERY tough to not start seeing that there is a highly conspicuous REASON for the lies.

Sessions LIED, outright, under OATH.

 

[Iceweasel]

First of all, there's no “controversy.” He hadn't even been named by Trump as the front runner for Attorney General. Second, he was on a committee where members routinely meet ambassadors. It's part of their job.

I fought to listen to Schmumers rant, sensing he's far more ignorant than Dingy Harry ever was.

Sessions used precisely the same word - "surrogate" - as Franken did. There was no obfuscation, and Franken was satisfied with the answer. At least until this "controversy" came up. Sessions' answer was clear and in context. It was a little lawyer-speaky, but that's par for the course in DC.

Yes, on the spectrum, this leans toward being fishy. And I'd certainly like to know why these Russia connections keep popping up. But that doesn't make everything these people say is a lie. I would want to be considered innocent until proven guilty, so would you, and there's not enough proof yet - outside of the lowered standards of partisan politics.

Let's not forget the constant screaming of the Republicans over every last fucking possible thing during the Obama administration. It just became noise after a while, a joke. I know how much the two ends of the spectrum love to emulate each other, but it really isn't helpful.

You realize that it is an Armed Services Committee right? There are 26 of them.... and they don't make decisions on their own, it is done as a group. So for the Russian Ambassador to be talking JUST to Sessions about something that involves the entire committee, that is about as a lame excuse as they get. What good is talking to 1/26th of a committee? Use some common sense here.
