And after repeatedly saying he never talked to the Russians, he just stated that he had several talks with them and said what they discussed.
He is either retarded, suffers from Alzheimers/dementia, or just plain dumb.
And/Or he just represents the rest of the current Administration's players...
You misread my post. I didn't say that Kislyak is stupid. I said that if he wasn't a spy then Russia is stupid for not placing a spy in this sensitive position.
You are also practicing revisionist history as to what question what Senator Sessions was asked.
The question was, "if you find out that any member of the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian Government during the course of the campaign, what will you do?
AND FYI: The Senate Armed Services Committee has 26 members, 25 of them have never met with the Russian Diplomat.
I forgot, its all about the deep state.No I completely understood what you were saying and made it perfectly clear that I understood what you were saying in my rebuttal. The fact that you still think that you need to clarify your statement leads me to scratch my head and wonder what the fuck is wrong with you.
Do you just like repeating yourself or is it simply a deflection where you don't have to respond to my incredulity as to your absence of logic? Don''t even fucking bother answering... I know the goddamn answer.
And the fact is that it would be stupid as fuck for Russian intelligence to infiltrate their ambassadorships... it would be SMART for Sergey to operate above board and try to be the best diplomat he could possibly be... especially knowing that Russia was constantly under the microscope.
I didn't provide a direct quote and was paraphrasing... the essence of the actual question was identical to the essence of my simplification... your attempt at a needless correction is quite clumsy.
He met with the ambassador as a function of his job... you realize that he wasn't part of the Trump campaign right? Sessions says he was "called a surrogate"... he never said that he WAS a surrogate... there is a big difference and Sessions knows good and well what the fuck he is doing.
The second question was the more important one... the one you mentioned from Franken was more about Sessions ratting out OTHER people. Leahy actually asked the question about JEFF SESSIONS himself.
"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?"
He said no and thats because the 2 meetings with the ambassador (one was on the senate floor in full view of the public FYI) had nothing to do with the election. End of story.
You are off by 6. The number of senators who say they haven't met with the Russian ambassador is 20. It's actually 19 out of 26 because Claire McCaskill is a fucking liar and she met with him in 2013.
Is it hard for me to believe that 99% of US senators are committed Russophobes? No absolutely not. The "Deep State" is virulently anti-Russian with a blind hatred that is off of the charts... you don't get to become a senator unless you have the blessing of the "Deep State".
How many other Senators like McCaskill actually met with Sergey and have forgotten about it already? It's probably more than a few.
But let's be clear... the Obama administration did a RESET of US-Russian relations where he basically started up the cold war again. 100% of the government was warned to stay away from Russia and all Russian officials for years now... Sergey Kislyak has been frozen out of the loop for the entire 2 Obama terms... I wouldn't be surprised if he desperately tried to meet with anyone who would talk to him... including the Keebler Elf.
Russia DESPERATELY WANTS GOOD RELATIONS WITH THE US... why does everyone forget that or deliberately disbelieve it? Does anyone think that Russia WANTS to be nuked? It strains the logical mind.
You liberals would have made great extras in the original Frankenstein.
... or the raging crowds chanting "Off with their heads" during the French revolution (to be fair... they were actually chanting "Give us back our wooden gallows!" in French of course. lolz)
And now we have it. Session recused himself under the political pressure.
The nearly indestructible bond between Jeff Sessions and Donald Trump:
"Jeff Sessions was the first senator to endorse Trump at a time when few Republican lawmakers supported the candidate. His early and fierce loyalty — and his ability to translate Trump’s nationalist instincts into policy — helped him forge a bond with the president, and he now enjoys access whenever he wants it, a privilege that few get, an official said.
Two of Sessions’s former Senate advisers — Stephen Miller and Rick Dearborn — hold key White House roles, and one official said Sessions still talks to them regularly. The attorney general also is friendly with Stephen K. Bannon, Trump’s chief strategist and a powerful player in the administration who promoted Sessions for years on the Breitbart website."...

I love you guys who see the world through tinted fake news glasses.Sessions met with the Russian ambassador is PART OF HIS JOB AS A SENIOR MEMBER OF THE ARMED FORCES COMMITTEE. He had 25 conversations with ambassadors last year in his capacity as a senior member of the Armed Services Committee.
He met with the:
1). British Ambassador
2). Korean Ambassador
3). Japanese Ambassador
4). Polish Ambassador
5). Indian Ambassador
6). Chinese Ambassador
7). Canadian Ambassador
8). Australian Ambassador
9). German Ambassador
and
10). Russian Ambassador
Ambassador Kislyak is a DIPLOMAT not an intelligence operative. Sessions was questioned over whether or not he had contact with Russia as a member of Trump's campaign, not questioned over whether he met with a Russian Ambassador twice in his capacity as a senior member of the Armed Services Committee.
Is the Senate Armed Services Committee staffed and headed by committed Russophobes? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY.
Is Jeff Sessions probably the only virulent non-Rssophobe on the committee? Yes.
Would Sergey Kislyak feel that meeting with the virulently Russophobic members of the Armed Services Committee would be useless and reached out to the one person who was not a raging Anti-Russian? Yes
This has already turned into a witch hunt and this is a big ol' crock of shit... making something HUGE out of something small and insignificant seems to be the modus operandi of the Dems and their "Deep State" allies.
This whole McCarthyism 2.0 is beyond ridiculous... it's just the early stages of a march to war.
The United States would look like Satan if they just went ahead and nuked Russia one day... THIS WHOLE WITCH HUNT IS ABOUT MANUFACTURING A PRE-TEXT FOR WAR so the whole world will pat the US on the back after Russia is a smoldering radioactive rock. Instead of the US looking like the biggest bully the world has ever seen... it will be seen as the one country that had the courage to stand up to Russia and those 150 million dead Russian people will be just collateral damage.
The Fourth Reich seems to be headed up by the Democrats... funny how the more things change... the more things stay the same.
The Third Reich existed as an ANTI-COMMUNISM and ANTI-SOCIALISM military and political organization... the Third Reich was a CAPITALIST POWER CENTER HELL BENT ON DESTROYING ALL FORMS OF SOCIALISM.
The Fourth Reich will primarily exist out of Russophobia... the Deep State keeps churning out bullshit story after bullshit story... placing them as the BIGGEST news stories over all other stories... "the biggest scandal of all time"... Bwah Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!
You liberals are taking the world's life in your hands... how can you be so sure that Russia won't profusely protect their first strike capability? How can you be so sure that the US can decidedly win a nuclear war?
Russia has already kicked the USA's ass in Syria... do you pantywaist pieces of shit want to go head to head with REAL Russian soldiers and REAL Russian gear? Russia kicked NATO's ass with their old shit... they also kicked NATO's ass on the cheap.
NATO spent billions trying to win in Syria... they were fighting forces that spent millions and got their asses kicked despite spending maybe ten times what Russia/Iran spent. The US taxpayers were on the hook for billions and billions for their loss in Syria.
And you dipshit liberals cheered your multi-billion dollar terrorist army the entire way... you fuckwads slept easy at night knowing that your tax dollars were being waved around enticing EVERY CRAZY MUTHERFUCKER IN THE MIDDLE EAST to accept no end in treasure just as long as they were interested in killing as many non-Wahhabists as they could.
You already flushed your morality down the toilet and now you are gleefully pushing the world into all-out-nuclear war.
Russia hasn't done anything wrong... they are the good guys to America's "bad guy". You will be on the wrong side of history... you ALREADY ARE.
That said... Sessions is an evil little elf of a man. So much damage has been done to US-Russia relations by the Democrats... I cant see how eating one more slice from the Anti-Russian pizza is going to push anyone over the top.
Could this get Sessions removed as Attorney General? As damaging as it would be to international relations, maybe it would be a good thing depending on who Trump would nominate to replace him? I dunno.
Anyone know who Trump would replace him with? Any chance that Trump would pick a bigger asshole?!?!?
Ahhh... the Democrats new strategy of not winning elections yet using the "Deep State" to govern through intelligence leaks seems like something STRAIGHT OUT OF THE FOURTH REICH... you liberals should start designing snazzy uniforms and shining up your boots... maybe you all can get Hugo Boss to deck you all out again? Christian Dior could make dresses for the ladies too.
The question was did you have any meetings with Russians.
It should be noted this story was broken by the Washington Post which has done a simply outstanding job of investigating Trump and the crooks and liars that are now in firm control of Washington. I really have zero faith with Congress and less than zero faith in the White House...
After all these past 8 years of the republitards denouncing President Obama and his supporters as "socialists" I now realize it's because they're all communists!!!
