Not sure if this story has legs, but it looks interesting.

Go back to the original report from the Washington Post.
If that's all there is than there isn't anything there. The Dems, GOP establishment and the media machine will take those big nothing's and wrap them up in all the language, editorializing, and innuendo to make it seem like something. But, going back to the big "revelation" from the original report....It's fucking nothing.
-
As I said last week, it's getting interesting.

The Dems are desperate to latch onto anything they can. Obama, Clinton and Soros machine at work hating America anyway they can.

He met with the ambassador in his office as a Senator and member of the ASC and as he stepped off of a podium after giving a speech....and now that's been morphed into him colluding with Putin to throw the election to Trunp.....Talk about Grasping at straws....
If that's all there is then there isn't anything there. He answered Leahy's question truthfully.
Talk about grasping at straws.

The Session's meeting with the Russian amb., may be ok. I don't know?
The Russia/ team Trump connection has too many names, dates, places to only be "fake news".
It's increasingly obvious Russia hacked the DNC and spoke with members of Trump's team.
Plus, we now know the US intelligence services has transcripts of conversations that took place in the Kremlin.
I new story in the New Yorker asserts , members of Trumps campaign team met with Russian operatives in various locations OUTSIDE of the USA. If proven true, this is a BIG deal.
The Trump campaign aids can't plead ignorance IF they traveled to a foreign location to meet with a Russian agent. This will require some real hard evidence to prove and it should be a high bar considering the offense.
The REALLY BIG question is, was Trump in collusion with Russian agents to try and fix the election.
That connection has yet to be established.
However, in time, we will know the answer, one way or the other.
Is Congressman Clair McCaskill a Russian agent now?

Yes, they're exactly the same. ::)

His meeting may be perfectly above board.
BUT, there is a bunch of stuff out that looks bad for team Trump.
We'll see...
Again, go back to the WaPo "report." He answered the Senate questions truthfully in the context of what was asked. The "meeting" after his speech was a handshake and a word so that's zero. Zilch nothing. The "meeting" in his Senate office under ASC business is also nothing unless out believe he was colluding, coordinating and illegally planning campaign stuff with Putin.....All in one short meeting...In his Senate office.
The rest is media and political theater. Filter out the narrative shaping, innuendo and misinformation. If anything else comes out this changes, but it looks like there isn't and this is nothing.
The media is reading off the same script.

I agree and posted that THIS meeting of Sessions with the Russian amb. could be legit.
BUT, Flynn was forced out over his Ruskie connections AND many others could be guilty of the same thing?
If Russia was 100% fake news, Flynn would still be Trumps National security advisor. He's not.
This post is fake news. Flynn was fired for misleading VP Pence.
-
Yes, and what did he lie about?!
Talking to the Russian ambassador about US sanctions on Russia for the hacking.
I sincerely hope this Russia/ team Trump connection doesn't lead to something serious.
BUT assuming you know it's nothing is just as bad as assuming Trump's guilty .
It doesn't matter what he allegedly lied about"!!"
You lied about why he was fired. He was fired for misleading VP Pence, not for the substance of his "lie."
Fake news. You should work for Huffington Post.

No it doesn't. The fact he gave VP Pence bad intel (regardless of what it was), and VP Pence then went and vouched for him in public, was pretty bad.
The bigger issue is how President Trump promptly fired the guy. Night and day when compared to President Obama.
In any event, "Howard" was being dishonest.

Gregg Jarrett: No, Ms. Pelosi, Attorney General Sessions did not commit perjury (or a crime)
By Gregg Jarrett
Published March 02, 2017
FoxNews.com
Napoleon Bonaparte once said, “from the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step.”
There is nothing sublime about Nancy Pelosi. Ridiculous, however, is an apt description.
At a news conference Thursday, the former Speaker of the House denounced Attorney General Jeff Sessions as a liar, pronounced him guilty of perjury, and demanded his resignation. This comes just days after she erroneously accused the Trump White House of obstructing justice. Clearly, she’s on a tear. Who knew the democratic leader, who is not a lawyer, was such an expert on the law?
What did Sessions do to deserve her condemnation? By his account, he told the truth. When asked by Senator Al Franken during his confirmation hearing about “a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government,” Sessions responded as follows:
“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 did not have communications with Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it.”
In a subsequent questionnaire issued by Senator Patrick Leahy, Sessions answered “no” when asked the following:
“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?”
As posed, the questions specifically ask Sessions about any exchange of information with the Russians pertaining to the presidential campaign and any discussion of the election itself. The attorney general insists he responded honestly. That is, he never spoke with a Russian official about either subject. In a statement, he said, “I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign. I have no idea what this allegation is about. It is false.”
Sessions says he had more than 25 conversations with foreign ambassadors in 2016 as a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Twice he spoke with the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kisylak.
The first meeting occurred at a Heritage Foundation conference, co-sponsored by the U.S. Department of State, entitled “Global Partners in Diplomacy.” Ambassadors were invited to converse with U.S. officials, including Sessions, about national security issues, trade and other foreign policy matters. Sessions insists he talked with Kishlak only in his capacity as a Senator and never about the campaign or election.
He met with Kisylak two months later. Again, he maintains their conversation had nothing to do with electoral politics and everything to do with carrying out the functions of his job as a U.S. Senator serving on the Armed Services Committee.
Someone might want to tell Pelosi that speaking with the Russian ambassador to the United States is neither exceptional nor incriminating. After all, Kisylak is stationed here. His job is to communicate with U.S. officials. Senators take meetings with foreign diplomats all the time.
Case in point: Democratic Senator Claire McCaskell. After criticizing Sessions for meeting with the Russian ambassador and claiming she had never done so in her 10 years on the Armed Services Committee, it turns out that her own tweets betrayed her. The record shows she bragged on social media about two of her meetings with him. Don’t be ashamed, Claire. It is not a crime to speak to a Russian.
Importantly, there is no evidence to suggest that the attorney general has been untruthful. The only dishonesty comes from Pelosi who has deliberately misrepresented the known facts and defamed Sessions by branding him a liar.
Pelosi is in desperate need of a primer on perjury. As a non-lawyer, she might want to take careful notes.
Under federal law, 18 USC 1621, perjury is knowingly and willfully making a false statement under oath. It is as simple as that. You won’t run out of ink writing it down. You don’t need to be a great thinker to comprehend the plain meaning of the statute.
If Sessions was acting in his capacity as a United State Senator and did not discuss the election campaign, then he did not commit perjury. In other words, his statements to the Judiciary Committee were truthful, not lies as Pelosi claims. Yet, armed with no evidence whatsoever, she has convicted Sessions without the benefit of a trial. Her accusations are not just baseless, given the known facts, but contemptible.
Perhaps Nancy Pelosi is the one who should resign. For being irresponsible. For leveling reckless recriminations and slurs.
Her only defense may be incompetence. It is the excuse of “Le Mat”… the Fool.

Obviously when Trump has full confidence in you, it isn't a good sign.
-
Ridicule me all you want boys. This Russia thing is getting worse by the day for team Trump
First Gen Kelly and now A.G. Sessions has recused himself from investigating this stuff.
For a "fake news" story, it's causing some REAL actions. ;)
Not ridiculing you. Just pointing out how you didn't tell the truth.
But you keep holding out that these "seedy ties" to Russia will lead to some bombshell. You sound like a 9/11 Troofer.
-
different day, same shitshow.
-
Damn dude, what is the penalty for perjury on a getbig forum ?
On Get BIG where 99% of people post under a fake ID-name LOL hahaha.!!!!!
I hope you won't try to get the new Atty Gen to investigate me.
Oh wait a minute, he just recused himself from any campaign related investigations! :o
I know some of you think this Russia story is "fake news".
BUT, it led to Gen Kelly getting a fake job in the White House. Ouch.
The penalty for lying is the loss of your credibility, to the extent you had any to begin with.
BUT, Flynn was forced out over his Ruskie connections AND many others could be guilty of the same thing?
Absolutely untrue.
Are you a 9/11 Troofer?
-
Absolutely untrue.
He was forced out because he lied about his Russian correspondence.
Had he lied about eating the last Popsicle he'd still have his job.
-
Many straws are being grasped at from all directions.
-
Good luck with that Coach, he just recused himself from any campaign related investigation.

I saw the news conference. He just recused himself from any Russian meddling.
-
He was forced out because he lied about his Russian correspondence.
Had he lied about eating the last Popsicle he'd still have his job.
Not if VP Pence went on national TV and vouched for him not eating the last popsicle.
-
9/11 Truther? that would be a big fat, FUK NO!
It's absurd to think Bush or Cheney had anything to do with the 9/11 attacks.
The notion they had to detonate the twin towers to get them to fall is silly.
So, how did I lie exactly?
Did Flynn get fired for lying t the VP? Yup!
What did he lie to the VP about?
Talking to Russia about US sanctions
You boys want to pretend Russia had NOTHING to do with this shit. It did and I does.
Now you acknowledge that Flynn was fired for lying to VP Pence. Good. But only after you get called on saying something that was untruthful. Again.
You nuts cannot even explain your Russia conspiracy theory.
-

There's no conspiracy, there's an ongoing investigation. Maybe it was all innocent, maybe it wasn't but getting caught in lies doesn't look good.

Maybe what was innocent? Can you walk me through this Russia conspiracy?

Seriously you hypocrite? The person who voted for Clinton that was actually caught in lie after provable lie as well as almost everyone on the left and you have the audacity to say that Trump has no credibility? Fucktard

Washington Post Reporter: Democrats ‘Are Overplaying Their Hand’ on Sessions
The Associated Press
by Katie McHugh2 Mar 2017
Democrats trying to sustain a controversy around U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions meeting with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the 2016 election are overplaying their hand, a Washington Post reporter said Thursday.
Philip Bump wrote a timeline on Sessions’ interactions with the Russian ambassador:

Sessions met Kislyak and dozens of other ambassadors during a Heritage Foundation event in July 2016. He also had a conversation with Kislyak in his Senate office while serving on the Armed Services Committee in September. In an initial report, the Washington Post darkly intoned their meeting took place “at the height of what U.S. intelligence officials say was a Russian cyber campaign to upend the U.S. presidential race,” insinuating that merely communicating with one nation’s ambassador means one is involved in a conspiracy.
Democrats also tried to paint a picture of a vast conspiracy between the Trump campaign and Russian officials during Sessions’ confirmation hearings. An extremely questionable intelligence community dossier allegedly showed “there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government,” Minnesota Sen. Al Franken told Sessions, asking “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 said he was “not aware” of ongoing communications between Russia-linked actors. “I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it,” he said.
When the Washington Post revealed that Sessions had met with Kislyak on two occasions, Democrats began calling for his resignation. Sessions may have “committed perjury” and even poses a threat to national security, as Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Wednesday night. “After lying under oath to Congress about his own communications with the Russians, the Attorney General must resign,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in a statement. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer also demanded Sessions’ resignation.
Democrats, reeling from their electoral losses, want to use a Trump-Russia controversy to demand investigations into Russia’s so-called “role” in the 2016 election that will force out critical allies of Trump out of Washington, D.C. and possibly target Trump himself for impeachment.
The Washington Post‘s chronicle of Sessions’ interactions with Russian officials and the Trump campaign can be read here.

We now have the details on Jeff Sessions’ first meeting with the Russian ambassador in 2016. It turns out the Senator spoke to the Russian ambassador on the invitation of the Obama Administration. Fox News reports:
The first came at a conference on “Global Partners in Diplomacy,” where Sessions was the keynote speaker. Sponsored by the U.S. State Department, The Heritage Foundation, and several other organizations, it was held in Cleveland during the Republican National Convention.
The conference was an educational program for ambassadors invited by the Obama State Department to observe the convention. The Obama State Department handled all of the coordination with ambassadors and their staff, of which there were about 100 at the conference.
Apparently, after Sessions finished speaking, a small group of ambassadors—including the Russian ambassador—approached the senator as he left the stage and thanked him for his remarks. That’s the first “meeting.” And it’s hardly an occasion—much less a venue—in when a conspiracy to “interfere” with the November election could be hatched.
So wait a minute — the Obama Administration set this up and the New York Times reports it is Obama administration staffers who are working to push out all the Russia information being used against Donald Trump and his administration.
Coincidence?
