‘The fuse is lit’: Dan Rather says Trump-Russia scandal is about to go off like a bomb

[Reasonable]

Veteran CBS News anchor Dan Rather wrote on Facebook Thursday that the scandal over Pres. Donald Trump’s personal and political connections to the Russian government and those of his aides is like a bomb with a lit fuse.

“Every once in a while in Washington, the fuse is lit for what seems to be a big scandal,” said Rather. “Much more rarely does that fuse lead to an explosion of the magnitude we are seeing with Russia and the new Administration, and frankly the Republicans in Congress.”

With revelations that Attorney Gen. Jeff Sessions apparently perjured himself regarding contacts with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, another key Trump appointee appears to be on the verge of going down in flames like national security adviser Gen. Mike Flynn.

Flynn resigned last month after wiretaps on Kislyak’s phone revealed that he and Flynn had multiple conversations prior to the president’s inauguration that Flynn later lied about to the public and to Vice President Mike Pence.

“Sessions is but the latest person close to President Trump who seems to be ensnared in a story that is more worthy of Hollywood melodrama than the reality of the governance of our country. Democrats are calling for Sessions to resign, and this story could move very quickly,” said Rather on Facebook.

Quoting old "FAKE BUT ACCURATE" Dan? Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean the Dan Rather who used forged documents to do a hit piece on Bush? That Dan Rather?

Liar. He did nothing of the sort. An aide of his made a mistake he took the heat for. But just like a true wingnut you try to characterize someone on one thing. He was and still is one the greatest journalists/ newsmen ever.
Keep pretending this Trump/ Russian scandal is going away.
It will only stop when Trump waves bye bye walking up the steps of his private jet to avoid impeachment.

LOL you loons are insatiable.....and setting yourselves up for another fail

 

[toomuchtime_]

So disgraced former news anchor, Dan Rather, is now telling the same kind of fake news stories that got him fired from CBS on Facebook.

If its fake, why are republicans turning on Sessions?

If they are, I guess some Republicans many be as stupid and irresponsible as Democrats.

You condone lying, after all Rump does it ever phyucking day

The was no lying, just empty headed Democrats trying to manufacture more fake news. Al Franken's question was asked in the context of a rumor the Russians were blackmailing Trump, and asked if in that context Sessions was aware of anyone associated with the Trump campaign had contact with the Russian. Sessions answered honestly that he did not know of anyone who had in that context. The story illustrates how fundamentally corrupt Al Franken is and how empty headed the Democrats are who buy into his lies.

Holy crap are you delusional!

Sessions had a private closed door meeting with the Russian ambassador while he was working for the Trump campaign.

He blatantly lied to Congress.

No honest, intelligent person who has seen the video of the question can believe that. Franken talked about rumors Trump was being blackmailed by the Russians and asked Sessions if what he would do if he knew of anyone in the Trump campaign that had had contact with the Russians in that context. Sessions answered honestly that he didn't. What this exchange shows us is not that Sessions lied, but that Franken is an essentially dishonest and corrupt man.

I agree! Lock them up!

 

[Unkotare]

Dan Rather is correct on this.
The Ides of March are approaching for Donald Trump.

So he lied about other stuff...but Rather is being honest now? Dan Rather is desperately trying to be relevant once again after being exposed for what he really is...a partisan ideologue...more than willing to bend the truth like a pretzel if it furthers his own liberal narratives!

That he is.

Rather hasn't been relevant since he pulled that crap on Bush. That was a big lie and Rather got called out on it.

Anyone who pays attention to anything Rather has to say is a few cards short of a full deck or they are a biased POS.

We all know which category the lefty loons fit into.

No, it's totally true! Rather heard it from Brian Williams, who got it from anonymous sources that go by the initials HC and LW.

He blatantly lied to Congress.

With all due respect, Richard...Sessions met with dozens of foreign ambassadors as part of his duties on the Armed Services Committee. Franken's question dealt specifically with what Sessions would do if he knew of anyone on Trump's campaign team having meetings with Russians regarding alleged "hacking" of the election. He answered that he didn't know of any such meetings.

Sessions wasnt asked about dozens of foreign ambassadors , he was asked about Russia ... he lied twice.

 

[The Original Tree]

The Nazi Party Repeatedly Attacked The Weimar Republic and everyone who was not a member of The Nazi Party until they took over The German Republic, dismantled Democracy, Abrogated Individual Liberties, like Due Process, The Right To Bare Arms, and other rights, and Transformed Germany in to a nightmarish anger and fear based society.

That describes The DemNazi party and what they are trying to do perfectly with Barak Obama playing Hitler in The Shadows.

The DemNazis do not care about The Rule of Law. They violated it repeatedly. Their sanctuary cities and their Candidate Hillary Clinton is an example of that.

They don't care that Sessions met LEGALLY in an official capacity, in a scheduled meeting, on The Public Docket over 6 months ago before he was even asked to be part of The Administration.

The DemNazis only want one thing, and will lie, steal and cheat to get it. They want power and control over the Future of this Nation.

They cannot install Globalism and their Dark Socialist Grey Dystopia with President Trump in Charge, or The GOP standing in their way.

So they will employ the very tactics of The Nazi Party who was willing to tear their own Country Apart to gain and hold power.

There is nothing genuine, patriotic or honest about The DemNazi Party and their agenda.

They are engaged in a Evil Jihad against our Democratic Institutions, Leaders, and against America itself.

The only thing that can stop them is to daily stand against their lies, machinations, schemes and propaganda, day after monotonous day.

They ally with Jihadists, Atheists, Pedophiles, Felons and Illegals. And know that they will "Burn This Bitch Down" and leave Lady Liberty in a heap of ashes if that is what they have to do to mandate Liberal Ideological Tyranny upon a Free People.

Give them no quarter, and No Satisfaction on even a single issue.
The Truth is not in these people, and they are a ravenous den of vipers willing to drag even their own mother in to the pit of Hell with them if they feel it would give them the slightest advantage in advancing their agenda.

For them, this is a Religious War, a Leftist Jihad, and everyone opposing them must realize this.
This is not a difference of opinion with them, this is not politics, this is their Unholy War that they are waging against our nation, which is why you see them ally with Jihadists, Illegals, and Felons, Flag Burners, and People who would defile our Constitution.

Session had a private meeting with the Russian ambassador while he was working for the Trump campaign.

He said this at the Congressional hearing:

“I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.”

He obviously did have communications with the Russians.

His being a member of the Armed Services committee is not an excuse for lying to Congress. No one knows what was discussed behind closed doors, but he should have been up front about that meeting instead of lying about it.
