The main stream media is in full spin cycle today, whirling a dizzying tale of deceit and treason, in light of new revelations that AG Sessions, in fact, met with a Russian Ambassador and didn’t mention it to Sen. Frankenstein during his confirmation hearings.
The Sessions camp says it’s complete horseshit, that the Senator had met with the Russian ambassador under his role as a member of the armed services committee, not for Trump.
Here’s the scoop.
Sen. Schumer is calling for an immediate investigation into the Trump administration for ‘Russian ties’ and says he must recuse himself from any investigation into Trump.

RARE PROTESTS are underway at the DOJ, with people chanting ‘lock him up’, an obvious ode to republican cat calls ‘lock her up’ — referring to two time failed Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.

The republican response has been mostly uniform, equating it to a witch hunt, replete with ‘smoke and mirrors.’

Here’s Paul Ryan telling the media the democrats are ‘lighting their hair on fire’ to get you (the cucked media) to cover it.

As a result of this uncertainty, stocks are tumbling, especially Trump trade ones that rely on infrastructure spending. On the upside are retail stocks, perhaps pricing in the death of Trump’s border tax — as this new crisis envelopes the White House with scandal not seen since the Nixon days.
Retail focused $XRT is higher by more than 1%, while the metals and mining ETF, $XME, is crushed lower by nearly 4% — partly thanks to CAT’s offices being raided today.
Here is our ‘friends’ at Business Insider, gracefully reminding us how the impeachment process works.

Brace yourselves lads, the Russians are coming.
The market doesn’t price fake news like this Sessions nonsense. It’s down because we had a historic session yesterday and now some peeps want to pull some money off the table.
We are witnessing the end of the Democratic Party in real time at the hands of Donald F*cking Trump. This is as good as it gets, guys. Soak it in.
We’ll all be dead within 50 years, everyone on this damn website, and within 100 years, everyone on the damn internet today. Civilization is at least 4000 yrs old, modern man as a species 200 thousand years old. Declaring the end of anything, especially regards over half the American population, is completely useless. Unless it’s the “Trump Trade” in a tape where both markets and bonds are completely unch.
Tell that to the Whig Party
Dear ironturd,
What you have written is known as “fake news.” Fake news is a very old problem that is only now being dealt with appropriately.
You mention in your comment that all of civilization is but a minuscule fraction of the lives that have come before us and will come after. In the grande scheme of things we are collectively tiny and individually not much more than nothing. Is change even possible with lives this meaningless?
Very tough to say. What I can say is that I will try. I have marked your comment as “fake news.” That is my gift to our species.
zuul is still in denial, what will it take, a video of Trump in a Jacuzzi with Putin? THis trail eventually leads back to The Donald – he’s way to sloppy to be a crooked politician and get away with it.
Take it from me, I am from Massachusetts the only state that saw through Nixon’s corruption in his re-election.
Speaking of video, there is video of WJC and others having sex with children. How can you tell? Anyone screaming “Russia” got caught with their fly down. That’s the only card they have to play. They think they can make a deal. Trump will go down in history when he outs the pedophiles. But he has to do it in a way that doesn’t burn the Israelis, since Rape Island is their operation.
Dear bennyhill,
Claiming Massachusetts while commenting from your iPhone 3G during your shift break at Kowloon on Route 1 is not very impressive.
The only ones in denial are those thinking that the DNC is not beyond saving. It is.
I have marked your comment as fake news.
Russian moles are everywhere. I’m worried they’ll see the Big Board.
(adjusts microphone)
WRONG.
Both Bennyhill and Trader Confessions will soon tell you that I am right.
Second billing? Jeez.
Yes, Fly is always right. Though in this particular instance I’m not sure about what. But regardless, he is right.
Regards.
There is hope for your soul – I know someone with your brains had to come around eventually, childhood angst and all.
Claire McCaskill’s past comes back to bite her BIGTIME when she jumps on bandwagon to denounce Sessions

Why not mention bluestar too…..
UEC looks prime
This will all likely blow over.
POTUS has “total confidence” in AG Sessions.
He only had “full confidence” in Gen. Flynn.
See the difference, there.
I’m a lib and I’ll be the first to say this is – or should be – a non story.
You are a wise liberal. There are so few of you so the special attention here is merited.
I agree, it’s not a big story as is, but it merits some serious investigation. He perjured in a confirmation hearing.
Also there has to be a blog-able reason CLF UEC and TECK are in the gutter.
He LIED about talking to Russians. Why would that be?

Go long Trump Trade.
Couldn’t they give Trump more than a day to enjoy his speech?
I thought it was just Snapchat.
It might be the top. My mom and her friends all bought SNAP today and asked if I was buying some…
SWAMP DEVILRY…
SHOWTIME, CAN YOU PASS ME A DRINK?
Showtime already Isis’d himself yesterday
This whole Russian episode is rejerkulous (extra Trump).. and boring. Get some old cranky lawyer to serve as Special Prosecutor and be done with it one way or the other. Hate both parties at this point. I’m thinking of running for Congress to straighten things out. I’m sure I can count on your support.
They read his book …they’re just negotiating. A deal will be cut: ‘Don, you can continue as president, and you’ll even get to fight some wars. But WE’LL choose the enemies.’
Sessions Dickhole III should recuse
2 months in and this may be the most corrupt administration ever. Amazing.

Deemed fake news.
Not you Benny, the Times article. That newspaper holds it’s rightful place in the outhouse at our deer hunting camp. Also excellent for kindling fires in the wood cook stove!
Fly keeps calling this the “Trump rally”, but you should know that the NYT (America’s newspaper) reported this morning that there is “real improvement in the economic data, reflecting forces that have been underway for years.” Thanks O!
The market spooks easily.
Did they screw and install crack baby servo motors during Rep Pelosi’s last face lift?
Would be upgrade to turnbuckle she has on back of head hidden by hair so she can adjust facelift as needed to give proper facial expression.
That libtard fat face in the pic is begging for a face punch.
Don’t we get Pence if Trump were to be impeached? So who cares.
The darling little snowflakes need to go back to their safe place and read the d*** transcript. (I live with lefties, so I’m used to doing this). The question from Senator Leahy, according to the transcript on CNN was as follows: 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?” Sen. Sessions reply: No.
So, dear libtards – assuming you can figure out how to find your way over to the Clinton News Network site – there you have it. Fact check your brains out.
Sen. Sessions was answering truthfully. He had conversations, but they were not about the 2016 election. He was conducting business as a part of his assignments with the United States Senate. Gosh – a Senator doing his job. How over the top is that .
Cat is obviously a Russian spy.
The ship steady still. Way steady.
Laughable, really. They call for all this stuff on this incident – which I use loosely since it’s a definition/interpretation/perspective thing regarding the actual meaning of the question he answered – and, meanwhile, nobody cares HRC’s IT just guy doesn’t show up when required by law to do so and testify? He’s not even an important person and they wouldn’t give him up yet expect a real VIP to recuse or step down.
Can we somehow bankrupt that party before they waste anymore of our time?
Seriously, what’s so wrong with Making Russia Great Again?
Buy gold miners!
I’ll tell you how this works. Soon the watch the world burn crowd/media flips on Trump. The money is in negativity, it’s what draws people in…… Gets ratings, votes and clicks….. Russian story blows over, sacrifice sessions and be done.
