Watching the Sessions attempted AssAss-ination by Warner, and he's reading from his own statement and tripping over his own words.

I can see this is gonna be one big Democrap clown-car attempt at character ASSASS-ination.

 

Did you expect anything different?

 

Foolishly, yes. Maybe some professionalism. Won't make THAT mistake again.

Fucker was practically salivating while reading his accusations.

 

just more waste of time which could be used for better things....

 

What a fucking piece of shit Mark Warner is. Every time Sessions tries to answer one of Warner's own questions, the piece of shit won't even let him finish his answer and he's interrupting him because he doesn't like what Sessions is saying in his answer.

He personifies the term DemoCRAP!

 

warner wants to answer the question for sessions and then ask another without a reply to the first......

 

Tom Cotton made complete fools out of the Democraps! And like the Energizer Bunny, heeeeee's "Still goinnnnnnnnggggggg!"

 

I like Tom Cotton. He's a sharp whip. He made mincemeat of Comey, too.

 

..."of espionage" was drowned out by someone's cough.

 

Wait.
Where are the resident arrogant elite liberals?
Why aren't they putting the spin to today's session?
Telling us how Sessions threw Trump under the bus, or how Comey got railroaded?

Must be waiting for their handlers to give them direction............

 

And yet, Sessions lied.

 

Perhaps the democrats could be put to good use? There's a wall that needs to be built...

 

And yet, no he didn't.


Politifact: In Context: What Jeff Sessions told Al Franken about meeting Russian officials

Looking at the transcripts from the hearing, however, it’s not 100 percent clear that Sessions made an intentionally false statement, though he appears to have omitted relevant information.


At the Jan. 10 hearing, Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., asked Sessions about allegations that associates of the Trump campaign corresponded with Russian government intermediaries. In his response, Sessions said he didn’t communicate with any Russians. (That comment is in bold.)


Franken: "CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week that included information that quote, ‘Russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.’ These documents also allegedly say quote, ‘There was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump's surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.’


"Now, again, I'm telling you this as it's coming out, so you know. But if it's true, it's obviously extremely serious and 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?"


Sessions: "Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it."


Sessions and spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores have said his statement was truthful because he met with the Russian ambassador in his capacity as a senator, not as a Trump campaign surrogate.


"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 told the Washington Post.


While one can argue that Sessions should have mentioned his meetings with Kislyak at the hearing, it’s possible he didn’t perjure himself based on the question Franken asked.


In a separate questionnaire, Sessions more directly denied personally contacting any Russian officials regarding the 2016 election.


Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., asked: "Several of the President-elect’s nominees or senior advisers have Russian ties. Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day?"


Sessions responded, in total: "No."

--------------------
And as Session described: "rambling"

Franken: OK. CNN has just published a story and I'm telling you this about a news story that's just been published. I'm not expecting you to know whether or not it's true or not. But CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week that included information that quote, "Russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump." These documents also allegedly say quote, "There was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump's surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government."

Now, again, I'm telling you this as it's coming out, so you know. But if it's true, it's obviously extremely serious and 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?

Sessions: Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have -- did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it.

Franken: Very well. Without divulging sensitive information, do you know about this or know what compromising personal and financial information the Russians claim to have?

Sessions: Senator Franken, allegations get made about candidates all the time and they've been made about president-elect Trump a lot sometimes. Most of them, virtually all of them have been proven to be exaggerated and untrue. I would just say to you that I have no information about this matter. I have not been in on the classified briefings and I'm not a member of the intelligence committee, and I'm just not able to give you any comment on it at this time.

Franken: OK. Totally fair.

 

Lie of omission.

The oath generally requires that you leave nothing out.

 

Like I told skinless, it's not Sessions responsibility to provide extra bait for the Pyranhacrats fishing expeditions.

McCASKILL: In a statement, said, “I’ve been on the Senate Armed Services Committee for 10 years, and in that time, have had no call from, or meeting with, the Russian ambassador. Ever. That’s because ambassadors call members of the Foreign Relations Committee. Attorney General Sessions should resign.”

THE FACTS: In her own Twitter feed, McCaskill records two such contacts in recent years. The first, on Jan. 30, 2013, says: “Off to meeting w/Russian Ambassador. Upset about the arbitrary/cruel decision to end all US adoptions, even those in process.” Then on Aug. 6, 2015, she tweeted, “Today calls with British, Russian and German Ambassadors re: Iran deal. #doingmyhomework”

A few hours after issuing the statement, McCaskill backed off a bit by qualifying her assertion in another tweet: “Again, As senior member of Armed Serv, never received call or request from Russian Amb for meeting. Never met one on one w/him.”

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi was also accused of meeting with Kislyak in the past after she had denied meeting him.

Photos show Pelosi and other lawmakers seated at a dinner table with Kislyak in 2010.

Pelosi appeared to give a gift to the Trump White House, which has been sent reeling by reports of Trump's Russia ties, when she fielded a question about at a Politico interview Friday about whether she had ever met the current Russian ambassador, Sergey Kisliak.

'Not with this Russian ambassador, no,' was Pelosi's response.

Within hours, a photo surfaced showing Pelosi seated around the same table as the peripatetic ambassador. Trump called for an investigation on the Democratic leader on Twitter.

Pelosi's spokesman, Drew Hammill, told Politico, which published the photo, that Pelosi had meant she'd never met solo with the ambassador.

The Daily Caller reported at least 22 visits by ambassador Sergey Kislyak to the White House during the Obama administration.

The number of advisors linked to President Donald Trump who met with Russia's ambassador to the U.S. has grown to five – with two more acknowledging the contacts Thursday night.

Furthermore, White House records show Kislyak visited the Obama White House on at least 22 separate occasions from between September 2009 to September 2016.

“Kislyak appeared in the logs as recently as September 2016 when he had a meeting scheduled with one of Obama’s senior advisers, John Holdren, in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building,” reports Daily Caller’s Kaitlan Collins.

Ah, but who cares when Dems lie about meeting and say it forcefully? "Ever!"

 

Were they under oath at the time? Seems the right has used that argument before. But it only matters if they're talking about someone on the right...

 

No, they weren't under oath at the time. They were just being hypocrites about the whole Russia bullshit making it sound like it's some sort of automatic guilt to have ever met with a Russian official, but then when caught in their own lies, dismiss it as "oh but we weren't alone" bullshit.

 

If they weren't under oath, then all your whining is hallow.

 

Why, thank you. What a nice way to describe my whining concerns.
