IT’S OVER TRUMPSTERS: SESSIONS SPOKE WITH THE RUSSIANS AND DID NOT REPORT IT DURING SENATE HEARINGS

How does it feel to know that you literally elected a Russian spy? Think about all of the hard work President Obama did over the past 8 years, toiling away — forging true lasting relationships with The House of Saud and China — while designing new schemes to cause anguish and tumult, both here and abroad, and now all of that ‘intel’ is going directly into the brain of Vlad Putin. UN-fucking-believable.

The Washington Post is out with a story right now that then Senator Sessions met with the Russian ambassador, as well as 24 other foreign ambassadors, while on the ‘influential’ armed services committee. While this might look like ‘literally nothing’ to the layman, just know that of the 26 members on the armed services committee, 19 reported back to the Washington Post that they DID NOT meet with any Russians, let alone think about them. Quite frankly, honorable men of distinguished cloth do not meet with enemies — they annihilate them.

In summary, would be Madame President Clinton was Mcrobbed by Russians — after revealing John Podesta’s pizzagate infested email box to be of the lewd and insidious nature, rich with DNC schemes and main stream media chicanery. That alone was enough to sway the American people in the rusted belt to vote for Trump in large numbers. Bear in mind, Hillary won the popular vote, yet now finds herself indelibly unemployed and her foundation in rack and ruin.

Now this: our Attorney General met with a fucking Russian to discuss who knows what? I bet they even had a cold and disgusting bowl of borscht, while Sessions promised the Russians unlimited dick suckings in DC, in addition to vassal states in Eastern Europe and unfettered access to bombing out the terrorists in Syria.

You’ve been Mchad Trumpsters. Read it and weep. No take backs. OWN THIS.

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.

One of the meetings was a private conversation between Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that took place in September in the senator’s office, at the height of what U.S. intelligence officials say was a Russian cyber campaign to upend the U.S. presidential race.

The previously undisclosed discussions could fuel new congressional calls for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate Russia’s alleged role in the 2016 presidential election. As attorney general, Sessions oversees the Justice Department and the FBI, which have been leading investigations into Russian meddling and any links to Trump’s associates. He has so far resisted calls to recuse himself.
When Sessions spoke with Kislyak in July and September, the senator was a senior member of the influential Armed Services Committee as well as one of Trump’s top foreign policy advisers. Sessions played a prominent role supporting Trump on the stump after formally joining the campaign in February 2016.

In January, Sen. Patrick J. Leahy (D-Vt.) asked Sessions for answers to written questions. “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?” Leahy wrote.

Sessions responded with one word: “No.”

Justice officials said Sessions met with Kislyak on Sept. 8 in his capacity as a member of the armed services panel rather than in his role 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 said.

She added that Sessions last year had more than 25 conversations with foreign ambassadors as a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, including the British, Korean, Japanese, Polish, Indian, Chinese, Canadian, Australian and German ambassadors, in addition to Kislyak.

In the case of the September meeting, one department official who came to the defense of the attorney general said, “There’s just not strong recollection of what was said.”

The Russian ambassador did not respond to requests for comment about his contacts with Sessions.

The Washington Post contacted all 26 members of the 2016 Senate Armed Services Committee to see if any lawmakers besides Sessions met with Kislyak in 2016. Of the 19 lawmakers who responded, every senator, including chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.), said they did not meet with the Russian ambassador last year. The other lawmakers on the panel did not respond as of Wednesday evening.

When asked to comment on Sessions’s contacts with Kislyak, Franken said in a statement to The Washington Post on Wednesday: “If it’s true that Attorney General Sessions met with the Russian ambassador in the midst of the campaign, then I am very troubled that his response to my questioning during his confirmation hearing was, at best, misleading.

Franken added: “It is now clearer than ever that the attorney general cannot, in good faith, oversee an investigation at the Department of Justice and the FBI of the Trump-Russia connection, and he must recuse himself immediately.”

AL FRANKEN WINS AGAIN.

    When are these losers going to get over the Russian accusations and realize that most of America is smarter than this? So according to their “Investigation,” 7 Other people on the armed services committee, or >25% of them, had contact with the Russians in the normal course of business…. so who gives a fuck!!?? I see that they failed to mention John McCain, (#NotMySenator) was having conversations with people who he thought were Russian officials but were actually the fucking Jerky Boys. GTFOHWTS.

    I wonder why not one Democrat pr Dem supporter EVER ask why the DNC didn’t let the FBI examine the DNC servers to investigate the claim of ‘foreign hacking’. Instead they paid a company to produce a report. My God, how clueless are people to believe anything the Dems say?

          No one opposes it either. That “recreational” stuff has been morphed into acid like weed. There is something a foot with that. Dumb down the kids into libtards. After loading a worthless student debt bomb on them. Basically slavery.

      I can think of a couple retards you might consider the usual suspects.

      This is fake news. Franken framed the question as “a member of the trump campaign” and not as a member of the senate committee. Because every fucking member of that committee has contact with foreign governments. For fucks sake it was the Heritage foundation event. It doesn’t get more of a circle jerk in DC than that.
      Rubes need a translator. “Muh Russia” is fake news to direct your attention away from pederasts who like walnut sauce on pizza and CIAisis.

    If contacts so innocent why didn’t he disclose them?

    I don’t know if there is anything to this Russia story but I am mystified/amused by all the Infowarriors and Pizzagaters that chomp onto the gauzy conspiracy theory du hour but see nothing at all worth considering here.

    It’s only an interesting conspiracy when it fits your narrative. As a non Trump dick rider, I put all this in the pussy grabbing category. Big deal for 4 minutes then it goes away. Lambs may be sacrificed, sure, but I doubt it goes much further.

    No idea what’s going on with this Russian shit but shouldn’t they all be thrown out of office simply for gross stupidity and arrogance? Best thing that can happen for Trump is to have an independent investigation. I doubt any impeachable smoking gun will be revealed and that will be that. Amazing how these politicians have poor recollections of conversations just a few months ago. Thank god for the press as lame as it is at times.

    Neocon warmongers have been obsessed with Russia for years. Why the obsession with Russia? Been asking this for years.

    Kept neocons from getting US troops into in Syria?
    Mid-east to Europe pipeline routing?
    Brezezinski-ite Eurasia checkers?

    The consensus answer I get from people I know in DC is a flippant, “force of habit”.

    Our pols disparage Russia as Europe’s gas station. But they’re a gas station with nukes …why continue to provoke the station’s management to use their gas station’s income to build more weapons?

      Neocons are communist expansionist, literally Trotskyites. Their goal is to retake mother Russia. Look it up, leftards. You’ve been mcfooled again.

          no delirium .. we are the Empire and will not tolerate those who do not fall in line

          take a gander at the whole of central and south america, 1/2 of Asia, all of Europe, nearly all the Middle East .. only Iran remains and perhaps Syria

          Africa is next .. we must beat China to the punch there

          and lets not forget China

          we have 900 military bases around the world . what you think they’re there for?

        If you deny speaking with Russia, you are a Russian. If you speak with a Russian, you are a Russian. If you never spoke with a Russian, but have friends of friends that did, you’re Russian. If global businessmen and diplomats who spoke with dozens of world leaders ambassadors and lots of other countries are connected together, they’re Russian. If you ever bought vodka, you’re Russian.

        And if you’re Russian down the hallway after Ja-makin a drink in the kitchen then what are you in the bathroom?
