Sessions met with Russian envoy twice last year, encounters he later did not disclose

[fskimospy]

Do you ever have anything intelligent to contribute to any discussion?

What I find amusing is that he is apparently unaware that the Republicans just spent the last eight years engaging in an unending cascade of lies, smears, witch hunts, and partisan bullshit. Looks like it worked out just fine for them, haha. The poor guy has just lost it.

So, as governor of Indiana, Pence was using his private email (AOL--lol!), for state communication, and it was hacked.

I guess this is a different topic, but....what about his emails???? The horror!

And the bad thing for her is that she now has effectively no chance of being reelected in 2018. She's done and it'll be just one more seat in the Senate for Republicans. Keep it up....and we'll see where the lies, smear campaigns, witch hunts and constant barrage of partisan bullshit ends up ultimately doing to your party.

We're talking about Russians hacking and maybe infiltrating our government at the highest level and you're talking about an election next year? What a Patriot you are. Keep wrapping yourself in that flag.

 

[emperus]

This is surreal, we have the Russian government using the words of our President to attack our media about their reporting. Let's unpack that. The Russian government is in lock step with the Trump Whitehouse on how they are attacking this revelation about Pence.

Well, aside from his verbal testimony, he answered a written question from Sen. Leahy that he hadn't met with any russians. No semantics of what role he was in. Also, kind of hard to frame a meeting with the ambassador at the republican convention as "senator duty". Interesting to see how he paid to be in Cleveland if that's the case.

Called it.

So tell us Jeff, if you met with the ambassador as a senator and not part of the campaign, how is the following true???

I know, left wing liberal media with fake news.

Also libtard media:

QFT.

really? One comment from the Congressional Investigation committee is all you need? Where's the call for 8 and more investigations until you dig up what you absolutely believe must be there, despite all evidence?

Where, where, oh where are the real investigations????

If the truth of the matter hurts...so be it. Despite all the insanity and hysteria, there's nothing here.

He's the same guy that said the real scandal behind Flynn lying to the FBI about his conversations with the Russians was that the conversation was being recorded. Either the head of the House Intelligence Committee didn't know that the conversations of the ambassadors of hostile foreign powers are always recorded or he was so dishonest that he hoped nobody else knew.

Looks like he was 100% wrong about the truth of that matter but I'm sure he's a reliable source here!

lol.

 

[emperus]

With the revelation of how he paid for the RNC convention, how can anyone say he didn't perjure himself even on the written part where he had time to think.

 

[Pens1566]

By middle of summer, watergate will seem like a jaywalking violation.

Man this is fucked up who in the Trump world does not have questionable ties with russia?

Kushner and Flynn Met With Russian Envoy in December, White House Says

"Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and now a senior adviser, also participated in the meeting at Trump Tower with Mr. Flynn and Sergey I. Kislyak, the Russian ambassador. But among Mr. Trump’s inner circle, it is Mr. Flynn who appears to have been the main interlocutor with the Russian envoy — the two were in contact during the campaign and the transition, Mr. Kislyak and current and former American officials have said.

But the extent and frequency of their contacts remains unclear, and the disclosure of the meeting at Trump Tower adds to the emerging picture of how the relationship between Mr. Trump’s incoming team and Moscow was evolving to include some of the president-elect’s most trusted advisers.?

Your brain has been compromised. Like a little DDOS zombie army, your brain is simply one of many zombie brains, open and willing to unleash your propaganda-filtered thoughts in support of any agenda that sees fascism rule over the US.

This isn't hyperbole--you and your comrades are so thoroughly compromised against honest, critical thought that you are sitting here, the eager and vigilant puppets of any foreign actor willing to replace the sovereignty of the US with whatever regime satisfies your vain, unthinking ego.

This is plainly evident to those of us that see through your fragile intellect.

Maybe because they haven't started their investigation yet.

The Senate’s review is underway, but the House has yet to receive a single document or interview any witnesses, said ranking Democrat Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) in a news conference Monday afternoon. Schiff said committee leaders promised to release a final agreement about the scope of their investigation Monday, but no information was available by evening.

Schiff called Nunes’s conclusion that there is no evidence of contacts between the Trump team and Russia “premature.” He pointed to the fact that the committee has not received documents, called witnesses or even released the final agreement about the scope of its investigation.

“When you begin an investigation, you don’t begin by stating what you believe to be the conclusion,” Schiff told reporters.

It's a bit strange to preach about a conclusion when you haven't even started to look into the problem.

If only as mentioned Nunes had the first clue about intelligence. But I guess he needs not worry because none of his audience has any either.

Nice one! If you're 12 years old.

No, it's a simple matter of fact that Nunes is clueless as illustrated by the previous link, and also a fact that people of conservative intellect will never figure out why.

When grasping for an imaginary lifesaver in storm driven seas, or when wishing for a very long snorkel as the currents pull you under, or when wishing for wings as you plummet off a cliff, Nunes' lame explanation was derived out of desperate desperation. His slimy juke is typical of a cornered rat seeking to bluff its way out of being consumed by a ravenous predator and very typical of the politician who's been pinned up against a wall with nothing to defend himself with but lies and deception.

That was a textbook sidestep of which looks to be quite popular with the GOP when defending their president that is afflicted with a knee-jerk mouth.

Odd objectification of someone who's expected to put your sort in their place. Ponder for while what that implies about the latter.

 

[Jaskalas]

This is your constructed fantasy and makes you look, well like a nutter.

I find Trump has that effect on people. Since his announcement in 2015 people froth at the mouth over him, we think they have rabies, and Trump gets to scoot on by without a direct challenge on policy. It has been one scandalous affair after another on how horrible he is, or his people, but never a thorough review of policy, or lack thereof. The frothing continues, and policy still slips by unchallenged in the public sphere of media attention.

Interesting though that this Russia freakout has finally struck something. We are in agreement re an investigation.

As recent history has shown, words matter little if intent cant be proven. Sessions wont be resigning.

Are you now (or have you ever been) treated for mental health issues? Serious question.

 

[Thebobo]

And more and more..... Two more former staffers met with russians. Remember the hub hub when two aids resigned? Man they are doing the Russian rag time at Trumps bigly bandstand!

"Page, a member of the same national security team, refused to say what they discussed citing “confidentiality rules” but would only say that, “I had no substantive discussions with him.”

Page’s statement confirms the two talked, making the Trump administration’s claim about the events an outright lie.

Page left the Trump campaign during the summer after it was discovered he gave a speech in Moscow in early July criticizing American foreign policy and the sanctions against Russia."

Haha

It's weird that you keep saying this considering there have been literally thousands of pages written about him and his poor policies/lack of policies. His failure to put them forth has been analyzed at great length by multiple sources that you could spend weeks or even months reading.

Can you give me a basic idea of just how many thousand pages you would require before you accept that he's had a thorough review of his policies, or lack thereof?

One of these days Jaskalas might come to read some of those pages and discover how wrong he was all along. Which to his credit is far more than can be said of the overwhelming majority of his peers.
