Happy Face 29 Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 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. At his Jan. 10 Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, Sessions was asked by Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) what he would do if he learned of any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of the 2016 campaign. “I’m not aware of any of those activities,” he responded. He added: “I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/sessions-spoke-twice-with-russian-ambassador-during-trumps-presidential-campaign-justice-officials-say/2017/03/01/77205eda-feac-11e6-99b4-9e613afeb09f_story.html?pushid=breaking-news_1488413057&tid=notifi_push_breaking-news&utm_term=.e4562c824750 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5572 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 What is the deal with all these Russian contacts though? It's not actually a crime, apparently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k572wTlfWj8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4446 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 The head of the NSA lied through his teeth to Congress post Snowden and got away with an apology letter so I don't expect anything more for Sessions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not actually a crime, apparently: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k572wTlfWj8 It's the lying under oath, not the contact that is a crime. Politically, the crime is less damaging than the collusion though, so worth lying. It's becoming normalised as NJS alludes to. Clapper would argue that "We lie to you to keep you safe". Clapper would be lying again if he made that argument, they lie to hide their wrong doing and activities that would outrage the public, but Sessions doesn't even have that flimsy defense.

Rayvin 5572 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I see, makes more sense now then. Still not a big deal though in terms of anything politically meaningful, beyond the usual 'we can't trust politicians', right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted March 3, 2017 Author Share Posted March 3, 2017 I didn't want to underplay it. I put the Sessions video up where he himself said no-one should be above the law. Justice doesn't apply to elites though. Nixon, the Clinton's, clapper, Sessions, Bush, Cheyney... Blair. None of then have been charged with any crimes and only 1 paid with his job half a century ago. Soldiers following orders to torture, Nixon associates, leakers like snowden who reveal clapper's crime, other people who take sensitive information off secure servers. These are the people that the law applies to. It's grotesque and shouldn't be dismissed because it's the way things have been. I was being matter of fact about the political damage that would be weighed up. It shouldn't be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ohhh_yeah 2991 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Congressman Braulio Guerra, from Queretaro, Mexico perched atop the 30-foot tall border wall outside of Tijuana. "I was able to scale it, climb it, and sit myself right here, it would be simple for me to jump into the United States, which shows that it is unnecessary and totally absurd to build a wall." "It's easy, and it shows how unnecessary this project, this political rhetoric from Donald Trump, is." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Park Life 71 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) Like LM with his Freddie shepherd infatuation Your Queen is dead mate. Why aren't they discussing how Obama doubled the debt to 20 trillion?? Illegally killed thousands of people around the world and Clinton and him oversaw turning Libya into a failed state....These are crimes. Crimes against greater humanity. Both should be in the Haig........Conversations with Russians my arse. ''Importantly, though, President Obama did sign many laws worsening this debt situation. Among the most significant are the 2009 stimulus, extending the 2001/2003 tax cuts temporarily in 2010 and making most of them permanent in 2012, the 2015 permanent "doc fix," and the tax extenders/omnibus bill at the end of 2015. President Obama also signed several pieces of legislation to reduce projected debt, most significantly the Budget Control Act. But importantly, these laws were written not by the president but by Congress.'' Edited March 3, 2017 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
