Sessions Spoke Twice With Russian Ambassador During Trump’s Presidential Campaign

[paperview]

And seriously, WTF??


"The ambassador isn't the Russians."

 

[HaShev]

Does Sessions statement "I did not have communications with the Russians" reflect the truth?

Does Sessions' statement equate to any illegal activity?

Ummmm, no.

It's illegal to lie under oath.

He never lied, if you read the question he was asked he answered it based on that question not the media or dems implication tactic.
Furthermore it's not unusual to protect classified info by not discussing it (imagine that). How would you like outting the ambassador to Russia to his homeland whereby they might not have known about the meeting and for reasons we can't disclose and now he gets in trouble or even killed over the Dems stupidity and petty vengeances? Or we lose a valuable source over the leaks the Dems do with their media attacks on classified info. Some things have to remain internal not public for a reason and we see once again Dems breaking this law pn spying & classified info.

What you are now finding is the peculiar call to remove him from any investigation but this is a darker strategy if you notice the criminals are asking him to recuse himself so that he will not be able to go after them for their many criminal acts as it would now be a conflict of interest as they'll claim he was getting retribution on those senators.
In other words they don't want to be prosecuted for some of these acts they did sabotaging the president, including their found spying and leaking of classified info.
But also perhaps they feel they might get charged for bringing up false charges and wasting tax payers money.
This tactic protects them somewhat.

Then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) spoke twice in 2016 with Russia's ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, but did not mention this during his confirmation hearing to become U.S. attorney general. Sessions was asked about possible contacts between President Trump's campaign and the Russian government. (Victoria Walker/The Washington Post)

Then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) spoke twice last year with Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Justice Department officials said, encounters he did not disclose when asked about possible contacts between members of President Trump’s campaign and representatives of Moscow during Sessions’s confirmation hearing to become attorney general.

One of the meetings was a private conversation between Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that took place in September in the senator’s office, at the height of what U.S. intelligence officials say was a Russian cyber campaign to upend the U.S. presidential race.

The previously undisclosed discussions could fuel new congressional calls for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Russia’s alleged role in the 2016 presidential election. As attorney general, Sessions oversees the Justice Department and the FBI, which have been leading investigations into Russian meddling and any links to Trump’s associates. He has so far resisted calls to recuse himself.

When Sessions spoke with Kislyak in July and September, the senator was a senior member of the influential Armed Services Committee as well as one of Trump’s top foreign policy advisers. Sessions played a prominent role supporting Trump on the stump after formally joining the campaign in February 2016.

Obama Administration Rushed to Preserve Intelligence of Russian Election Hacking

Apparently Sessions lied, under oath, about having contact with Russia during Trump's campaign. Therefore, he must recuse himself from any Trump-Russia investigations - and he must be investigated. In hindsight - President Obama should have blown the whistle on all this while he was still in office.

A sitting senator talking with a Russian ambassador. The horror, the horror.

Seriously, if this is the best you have, Trump has nothing to fear.

Nope, nobody cares but you lemmings.

Well a majority of America disagrees with you....

Session lied under oath... This should be severely looked at...

He didn't. He clearly said: I did not have communications with the Russians.

MSNBC is currently having a thorough discussion about this topic. Good stuff.

Translation: PMSNBC talking heads are wetting their pants desperately hoping they can find something, anything with which to smear the president.

Sessions was a sitting senator. Not a member of his campaign.

You guys are desperate

They probably have the telephone recordings as the Russian phone lines were wire taped, and that's how they busted General Flynn for lying.

Obama had the Russian phone lines wire taped as soon as he knew it was the Russians doing the hacking.

Regardless Jeff Session lied to congress when asked about it. No Senator calls the Russians anyway, that again is usurping the Obama administration authority and is in violation of the Logan Act.

You fucking moron! The US government has been recording EVERY fucking phone call to and from the former soviet union, now Russia since the fucking telephone was invented.
BONOBO didn't suddenly wake up and tell the NSA to start recording russina phone calls!
What are you? Ten years old?
Sessions DID NOT "call the Russians". He took DOZENS of phone calls from foreign government officials in his capacity as a sitting Senator. Russian officials included.
You're seriously going to look once again like a fucking idiot when Schumer goes on CNN and states: "We have conducted a thorough in depth investigation into every aspect of any involvement within President Trump's campaign staff and have found no evidence whatsoever of any wrongdoing".
You LIB assholes are so DESPERATE you have to literally invent your bullshit accusations.
Please continue though. You're doing a wonderful job of making positive the REPs get a 'Super Majority' in the Senate next year.

Sessions did not lie - he did not have communications with the RussianS - he had communications with the RUSSIAN.

Relax - IT'S A JOKE!

Yeah, Holder got busted doing it several times, and Obama protected him from indictment / prosecution, but he still got Censured by a bi-partisan Congress. Wonder what will happen with Sessions....

 

[The Original Tree]

The Sessions Meeting was on The Docket, and there was nothing private at all about it.
Nothing illegal.
Nothing unethical

But there is something immoral about it.
The Left's Butt Hurt Witch Hunt.

The administration needs to start telling the left to pound salt.

As long as nothing illegal took place, this was in the capacity of Session's duties as a Senator and was on his docket at the time.

Sessions was never asked about official meetings. He was asked about meetings that were off the books, and none occurred.

 

[dannyboys]

You tell me, would a hi be considered to be what they were asking for? I would not consider it a -talk-.

Do you honestly think the Ambassador of Russia would just happen to waltz down to a Senator's office just to say hi? Don't you think Ambassadors and Senators have better things to do with their time?

Now, his claim is he was talking as part of his role on the Armed Services Committee. In which case he'll be able to prove this. The first time he spoke was at the Republican Convention. Why the hell was the Russian Ambassador at the Republican Convention?

Both the Ukraine and Russia as well as other countries of course had skin in the game. The Ukraine favored Hillary (considering they are Hillary's biggest donors to her foundation).

And they worked with a Hillary advisor to smear Manafort by lying about a corruption investigation.

In deep shit now that she lost. Hillary's fave oligarch Pinchuk actually received permission from Clinton to do a multi million dollar deal with Iran.

I beleive Pinchuk has donated 8 million to date to the foundation with a total owed of 25 million.

deflection ^^^^^^^^^^

the thread is about Trumps AG lying his ass off and getting busted.

btw, quit trolling.

How did he lie when his contact with the Russian ambassador and others involved his day job?

Not the campaign. Cripes one meeting took place at a Heritage Foundation event and the ambassadors approached him. Right in the article.

Then why did Sessions lie under oath?

C&P the PRECISE question and answer. Or don't you have the personal integrity to do so?

Actually you were lied to, read the question he was asked where he said no.
He answered it properly.

Lying under oath is a problem that needs to be addressed. Talking to the ambassador is not. Much like Bubba's impeachment, having sex with Monica wasn't an issue, but lying about it under oath was.

 

[JoeMoma]

The Justice Depoartment said Wednesday that "there was absolutely nothing misleading about [Sessions'] answer [to Franken]. 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."
.

Read it again:


“I’m not aware of any of those activities,” answered Sessions, one of Trump’s earliest and most prominent supporters during the campaign. “I have been called a surrogate a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it.”

Does Sessions statement "I did not have communications with the Russians" reflect the truth?

Sessions probably had many conversations with Russians over the years as a senator and a member of the Armed Service Committee. Many "lies" can be found in almost any conversation if things are taken out of context of the conversation.

He didn't. He clearly said: I did not have communications with the Russians.

Which was correct given the context of the question which was regarding elections.
Foreign affairs is not gonna go into details of classified info on national TV the media is leaking stuff again that is dangerous to all involved especially that ambassador.
Get it?

I honestly don't know, so can you tell me what role Sessions had in the Trump campaign? And, was Jeff Sessions, a member of the Senate, not allowed to meet with Russians?
