Jeff Sessions, Trumps new AG and Former Campaign Advisor, lied about his Russian contacts

Theres no need to argue it with them man. This is why when you speak before congress you dotn say anything at all and just give them a statement on paper. then claim th e5th on each question.

What is obvious is that there are those here who will deny the obvious in favor either of argument or their politics.

Jeff Sessions stated IN THE CONTEXT of Trump campaign staff meeting with Russians that he had not met with the Russians.

The fact that some of you are telepathic (and apparently clairvoyant) and know what the man was thinking when he said that on the record before Congress will require additional proof.

Without that, you're prevaricating at best.

I'm not interested in your article or, no offense intended your interpretation.

I can read what was said and understand it.

The line about "he met with Ambassadors" is pure deflection.

Jeff Sessions was asked a question REGARDING Trump officials meeting with the Russians and HE ANSWERED THAT QUESTION by saying that he was a part of that campaign and that he hadn't met with the Russians.

Not that he didn't meet "as a member of the Trump campaign."

The blatant prevarication here is trending toward good ol' gutter-snipe lying.

Yes, he had not had communications with the Russians as a part of the Trump campaign. Are your reading comprehension skills truly challenged or only selective so that you can make this into another selective scalp hunt?

Then you are not here to debate anything if you ignore evidence to the contrary then. I practice reading between the lines. you dont apparently.

You mean to say libel, not slander.

a reply to: yuppa

I'm not here to debate because I won't accept your opinion?

I disagree.

Like parents who make excuses for when their kids behave badly. Not my child...never and then say that other kid is a bad influence.

Hillary....the go to when ya got nothing excuse is getting tired.
I don't think about her do you? She's retired. Good for her.
But they keep dragging her out of retirement .

The fact that Russia keeps coming up with this man, from Roger Stone to Rex Tillerson to Paul Manafort and everyone in between is questionable.
I just wonder when it's going to start to appear suspicious to others.

I see a lot of folks keep spouting off nonsense about him "lying, lying, lying." There's some serious lack of reading comprehension here.

The question was did he talk to Russian officials "About the 2016 campaign."

Right...Reading Comprehension

Al Frankin:

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?"

Jeff 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."

Translation. I do not know What others in the campaign are doing. People seem to think I do though but I cant say anything about things I do not know about.

It does not require translation:

Al Frankin:

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?"

Jeff 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."

(specifically during th ecampaign he didnt speak to any russian diplomats)

Is that simple enough to understand?

Specifically...during the campaign...he PRECISELY spoke with THE CHIEF RUSSIAN DIPLOMAT (and spy recruiter)...Twice..

That isn't interpretation...that is factual..

My reading comprehension skills are fine. Try not to drift into ad hominem and totally destroy any little credibility your argument has.

You can spin, interpret, deflect and restate what Sessions clearly said all you wish.

Republicans are unanimous thus far in suggesting that he recuse himself. Why would they be doing that if Sessions hasn't been compromised?

Do the Congressional Republicans also have reading comprehension issues in your book because they don't agree with you?

a reply to: yuppa

I ignored your article because I don't need anything other than the primary data of the transcript.

I don't need opinions and interpretations that agree with yours.

I am sorry I don't need to read your source, I do understand how several of you are desperately trying to reinterpret what Mr. Sessions said, not because you believe in Mr. Sessions, but because Trump.

DURING...He said he didn't have any contact with the Russians DURING the campaign where he was prominently campaigning for Trump.

That was a lie by every objective measure.

Those without their own reading comprehension skills and glass houses and such...

a reply to: Krazysh0t

Issa and Chaffetz...Hard to call this a liberal attack when the two people who spear-headed the years long investigating of Clinton can't abide with what is going on.

a reply to: shooterbrody

What info from sessions? I thought we had established that he wasn't bugged. As far as I know they don't have any conversation just a known meeting. BUT...
Can you quote the law that says if in the process of @recording a foreign national it is determined that one of the participants in the conversation is a known U.S. citizen they cannot continue the recording?

a reply to: Krazysh0t

Hmmm ... there must be lots of hidden "leftists" among the Republican caucus.

Including Jason Chaffetz, LOL.

We need to remind our friends not to Cleopatra themselves.

a reply to: Sillyolme

Thanks, SillyolMcCarthy. I'm sure that's exactly the point the media is trying to create.

Btw, you mentioned Russia. Maybe we should investigate you for suspicious Russia ties too.
