Fake "scandalous" Session meetings with Russian operatives.

Obviously, Sessions was talking about discussions concerning the election.

So what are the two meetings that Sessions had? The first came at a conference on “Global Partners in Diplomacy,” where Sessions was the keynote speaker. Sponsored by the U.S. State Department, The Heritage Foundation, and several other organizations, it was held in Cleveland during the Republican National Convention.

The conference was an educational program for ambassadors invited by the Obama State Department to observe the convention. The Obama State Department handled all of the coordination with ambassadors and their staff, of which there were about 100 at the conference.

Apparently, after Sessions finished speaking, a small group of ambassadors—including the Russian ambassador—approached the senator as he left the stage and thanked him for his remarks. That’s the first “meeting.” And it’s hardly an occasion—much less a venue—in when a conspiracy to “interfere” with the November election could be hatched.

Sessions also apparently met with the Russian ambassador in September. But on that occasion, Sessions was acting as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, not as a surrogate for the Trump campaign. That’s why the meeting was held in his Senate office. His DOJ spokesperson, Sarah Isgur Flores, says they discussed relations between the two countries – not the election.

So while people keep talking this up it turns out that this entire "scandal" is really just more fake news. One of these supposed meetings was facilitated by the Obama administration and both were either incidental or in an official capacity.

Seriously, I think Republicans need to take my advice. 100% ignore the Democrats and their cohorts in the media. Just focus on doing their jobs and appointing as many judges as they can. Make absolutely no concessions because no concession will be enough.

Get real, Democrats, there is no good reason for Sessions to resign | Fox News



Sessions should re-institute himself to be involved in all investigations on all matters and they just need to ignore the left as they don't want anything else but the full dismantling of the current administration. However, they don't have power to do anything so any attention given to them is only helping them out.

Why am I unsurprised that the people who already hate "the left" want to pretend this is all fictional?

I don't trust Trump; I don't trust anyone Trump would appoint to his administration; I don't trust the Russians; I don't trust the Republican Party; and I don't trust American conservatives in general. They ALL already proven themselves to be largely inveterate liars. Why would I trust them when they claim this is "fake news"?

It's not the "left." It is the Intelligence Agencies and the Deep State. They don't want their agenda of World hegemony by economic maneuvers disrupted. A crazy, warmongering group of hawks and control freaks. We are being poorly served and are participating in a genuine threat to our Nation. The Russian threat is a McCarthy type fraud. It's like most of Washington has lost its' marbles. There are worse alternatives than prayer.

Well, yes...that's part of it but the left is where they find most of their allies in the globalist agenda and are then used as their propaganda arm.

Fishking said:

Because they are giving too much credence to the left and their media cohorts when they should just ignore them. Ignore them 100% and just get to work.

So nothing to say about these meetings, huh? Why is it not a surprise once it was shown to be nothing that it just turns into empty and generalized rhetoric?

First you quote an OP-ED Faux Noise piece that makes unconfirmable claims. Sessions did have a private meeting with the Russian ambassador. No transcript exists that we know of so it's Session's claim he didn't discuss the 800 pound elephant in the room. I find it difficult to believe Sessions, or anyone in trump's inner circle as many who should know better did talk to the Russians and try to pretend they never did- until confronted with some facts and then suddenly- 'oh it was just a meet and greet'... :roll:

(see a pattern starting???)

Sessions was a poor choice for AG, more like Donald rewarding the first Senator to endorse him with a fiefdom, like a Feudal Lord using vassalage to create a loyal inner circle- skill and talent be damned...

He wouldn't have recused himself if he felt free of sin... or had a bit more balls... eace

Ya lets ignore all the smoke, not happening. I am so looking forward to the investigations, more fun than Watergate, perhaps they could get Clinton and Rosy on the team, Trump would probably have a complete breakdown, his skin is not the toughest.

Fishking said:

Since no wrongdoing has ever occurred and the smoke is not coming from a fire but special effects, nothing will turn out from any investigation. I don't even think they even want to do a real investigation because when it shows there is nothing there then there won't be a scandal.

Yet did Obama did not deign to share with the American voters of this supposed collaboration between Trump and Russia and he definitely had access to it.
