Case closed. Perjury.

it seems pretty damning from the outside looking in.

But I am sure he will find enough wiggle room and plausible deniability to suit the situation,

I'm inclined to say no, since legally they would have to prove that he did not believe that his reportedly false statements about “the Russians” to be true.

But he's trying to bring back the War on Drugs so **** him, PERJURY!

That's kinda how I feel right now.
 
Re: Did Sessions Commit Perjury?

Talk about fake news, Jeff Sessions being involved in Russian intrigue takes the cake!

How about mentioning something worthwhile to discuss: Nearly one-third of all Americans –
and even more Republicans - believe the United States would be better off or not impacted if
California went its own way and became a separate country.

Let's hope Calexit gains steam!!!!!! Let's shy away from silly accusations concerning Jeff Sessions!

Alabama Senator Sessions testified before his colleges in the US Senate during his confirmation hearing for the cabinet position of Attorney General of the US

IMO during that testimony Sessions committed perjury by stating he had no contacts with Russian officials, which we all know now to be a false statement

Poll Question = Did Sessions Commit Perjury? a simple Yes, or No will be appropriate ........... thank you

I do not know if Sessions commited prejury. I'm no expert. I have a suspicion that he did, but I can't say for sure.

He could of been lying, or he could have misinterpreted the question. Hopefully we'll get a more concrete answer moving forward.

But like the FoxNews guest said, why after seeing what happened to Gen. Flynn would Sessions essentially "play dumb" and not give full disclosure even though the questions put before him were centered around Trump 2016 campaign affairs/affiliates and family members? Why not just mention he had these encounters with the same Russian Ambassador Gen. Flynn contacted and explain them fully?

If you don't have anything to hide, DON'T end your statement of denial with "but I can't talk about that". Because then folks are going to push you to "talk about that".

Go make a thread about it then. This is about Sessions.
 
Re: Did Sessions Commit Perjury?

A simple yes or no, huh?

No.

At worst he misspoke, or, his comments were taken out of context, or, he didn't understand the question, or, (insert your favorite BS excuse that spews from the mouth of any Unthinking Left'er that's open)

Now, let's move on to opening investigations for the atrocities committed against our democracy under the Obama Administration

I'm pretty sure that misspeaking could easily fall under the Senator Sessions definition of perjury, especially considering the circumstances. And if we were to abide by his own words, that perjury is much more threatening to the United States than anything that has already long since passed with the previous Administration.

Re: Did Sessions Commit Perjury?

I'm going to have to vote.

Sessions could have easily answered no. But he chose to elaborate. It's like he had been coached on the question. He who talks too much tattles on himself.

Perjury.

No, what?

-no, misrepresenting the truth during his hearing committee didn't meet Senator Sessions own definition of Perjury?

or

-no, he didn't think that powerful government officials misrepresenting the truth was a big deal.

This is way more important than non stories about J Sessions. After all, Nearly one-third of all Americans –
and even more Republicans - believe the United States would be better off or not impacted if California
went its own way and became a separate country.

I'm glad that they believe that.

Unfortunately math just doesn't support the concept, CA actually dumps more money in the the National Treasury [that's net not gross] and more food into the breadbasket than any other state in the Union.

Pretty sure nearly one-third of all third graders believe that they would be better off without going to school.

But I digress.

California is no longer the paradise over the mountains for Americans rather its become a far better place for
Mexicans than Mexico. 40% of those entering the uSA head for California. As Americans leave Mexicans come.
Bankruptcy & default seem inevitable with the state ending up like a 3rd world nation relying on cash infusions
from the IMF or world bank.California has the lowest bond rating of any state & a 10% income tax with an 8.5% sales tax.

California went for Nixon all 5 times he was on the National Ticket & all 4 times Reagan was on the national ticket
he won also. Do you think either could win in this state now, California has changed and not for the best.
1984 Presiential Election Reagan 5,467,000 Mondale 3,922,000
2016 Presidential election Trump 4,483,000 Clinton 8,753,000

California 62% minority, the fullfillment of the 1965 Immigration Act & Reagan's own 1986 Amnesty were
the main movers of change & now 1/3 of all Californian's want to secede, I hope the prevail!

California contributed more than $70 billion to the Federal budget in FY2015, more than any other state.

Additionally, California is home to the majority of the strategic US military installations on the west coast and also to more of major US corporations than any other state.

Financially, it might be better for California to separate from the United States, but it would be a pain to use a passport every time I go to Vegas.

I suppose that is all food for another thread though.

Good post
 
Re: Did Sessions Commit Perjury?

Too soon to tell. Obviously, what he told the committee under oath was not true; however, it could have been a honest misstatement.

I've heard that others were in the room during at least one of those meetings. If the FBI was cooperating with congressional investigating committees, which it isn't, those individuals could be interviewed about what they heard and saw. However, that's a rather touchy point since Jeff Sessions himself is in charge of the FBI.

Still, he should have revealed those two meetings when asked specifically about meeting with agents of the Russian government, and I'm a tad uncomfortable with a man who can't recall meetings with the ambassador of a country which has proven to be involved in trying to disrupt our election being confirmed as the DOJ Secretary.
 
Re: Did Sessions Commit Perjury?

Moderator's Warning:
Moderation as occurred. The topic is not the possibility of California seceding.

This is the topic: Did Sessions Commit Perjury?

Any further comments towards California seceding will lead to a thread ban, maybe with points.

Also, flamebaiting and other off-topic comments will garner the same results.

So don't quote and reply to anything in violation of this warning.

It's a tangled web the trumpers have woven and it just got worse tonight for me watching Carter Page on Chris Hayes.

trump has now moved from no recusal, to recusal, to "the AG could have answered more accurately".

For all of us who were of age during Watergate, Nixon was high school crime imho compared to trump and his major leaguers .
