First Flynn, Now Sessions

Skeptic Bob said:

That is different, though, because it sounds like those trips weren't on official government orders.

I worked in embassies for the better part of 20 years. If I took a vacation to Singapore I had to report that. When I was ordered to go to Bangkok to attend some training on a new military travel system, I was not required to report that.

When I was stationed in Cambodia and I went out on my first date with the woman who would later become my wife, I had to report that. When I started attending poker games with my Australian counterpart, I had to report that. When I met with Cambodian military officials to discuss arrangements for an upcoming US ship visit, I did not have to report that because it was official government business.

At his confirmation hearing January 10, Sessions testified that he "did not have communications" with the Russians during the campaign. He made the same assertion in an official questionnaire.

...

The Washington Post reported March 1 that Sessions had two undisclosed meetings with Kislyak during the campaign, which brought Sessions into the widening Russia scandal for the first time.

The problem for Sessions isn't this form, but his false testimony:

These meetings weren't part of a foreign conference. These meetings proved the testimony from his confirmation hearing false. I don't know how he still has his job after lying like that.

Sessions lied during his congressional vetting. He offered information beyond the inquiry that was provably false. That was genuinely bad.

This isn't a big deal, but your equivocation fallacy is phenomenally ****ty, as is your whining about democrats.

What was the testimony that indicated Sessions spoke to Kislyak about something related to the Trump campaign and not related to his Senate responsibilities?

You know, like those in that list that you think was phenomenally ****ty but didn't explain why it wasn't the same.
btw, they weren't all Democrats on the list ... but the hypocritical political bull****ters were.

No, you are very misinformed on this issue. He genuinely lied. He said he never met any Russians, then it was proven that he did, so he recused himself from any investigation involving Russia/campaign, and then violated that recusal.



Did those democrats testify before congress that they never met any Russians, yes or no?

The Department of Justice claims Attorney General Jeff Sessions was "instructed" not to disclose meetings with foreign dignitaries.

Sessions, who met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak at least twice last year, didn't list those interactions on his security clearance application because he was told he didn't need to, according to the DOJ. The forms require applicants to list any contacts with a foreign government or its representatives.

"As a United States senator, the attorney general met hundreds -- if not thousands -- of foreign dignitaries and their staff," DOJ's Deputy Director of Public Affairs Ian Prior said in a statement. "In filling out the SF-86 form, the attorney general's staff consulted with those familiar with the process, as well as the FBI investigator handling the background check, and was instructed not to list meetings with foreign dignitaries and their staff connected with his Senate activities."

You do seem to get desperately wrapped up in dead-ends that you refuse to acknowledge went nowhere.
There's a lot of that going around.
Oh well ... got anything else?
No? Adios.

Haha, wow, you don't even understand what i'm talking about. I'm not talking about the SF-86 form which isn't really an issue.

Did you know that Sessions had a confirmation hearing? Do you know what a confirmation hearing is? Please articulate the depth of your ignorance on this issue so i know how much information i need to provide.

I see you can't be honest and ignore this.

Hold on. Is that your version of intimidation? Is that it? Very weak. And too obviously a cry for attention. You had your chance to be taken seriously and you failed.
