Obama's Fifth Column Movement Goes After Sessions

[Rightguide]

Democrats are trying to undermine the new Attorney General, Jeff Sessions. Democrats are accusing him of meeting with Russian officials as part of a Trump conspiracy to corrupt the election in his favor and then committing perjury to cover it up. The accusation is based on this question by Senator Leahy:

Sen Leahy:

“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?”

Sessions: No

As you can see, I bolded the operative phrase in the question. Recall that Senator Sessions was a ranking member of the Senate Armed Services Committee at the time and regularly met with a host of foreign ambassadors. They claim he committed perjury. How do they know what the subject of the conversation was about, or specifically if it had to do with the campaign?

He wasn't on the Foreign Relations Committee.

It is a conspiracy led by Obama. The National Enquirer revealed all this in their last publication. This is an approved by the POTUS news source. Must be real and trustworthy.

My apologies, I should have said "Armed Services Committee" I'll edit.

It would appear that Republican Congressional leaders are suspicious as well. But feel free to blame Obama. That's straight from the BroPatrol playbook.

Barack Obama is pulling the strings on a coordinated conspiracy to sabotage the Trump administration — with a plan to impeach President Trump before he can make America great again! That's the bombshell claim of a D.C. whistleblower speaking out in the new issue of The National ENQUIRER — on newsstands now!

Donald Trump fired National Security Advisor Michael T. Flynn after spies known as "The Deep State" leaked secret info to the press — in a move being referred to as a "political assassination" by veteran D.C. insiders. But a left-leaning whistleblower has told The National ENQUIRER that the attack on Flynn is just the start of a plot that's being masterminded by Barack Obama, as the puppet master pulls the strings on a coordinated conspiracy across multiple federal agencies. The top-ranked source claims the goal is to sabotage the Trump administration, and ultimately impeach the President!

*one down, next up Sessions!*

The first meeting with the Russian ambassador that the Post story talks about is probably no big deal, since it was a semi-public event at the RNC. I can see where Sessions might have legitimately regarded that as not being a true "meeting."

The second meeting is a lot harder for him to explain away, though, because it was a private meeting in his office on September 8 -- only four months before his confirmation hearing, so there's no way it could have just slipped his mind. It's not like there was a good deal of congressional business taking place that far into election season. And according to the Post, Sessions is the only senator on the Armed Services Committee to have any contact with the Russian ambassador in 2016. That would be an interesting coincidence if Trump's biggest surrogate in the Senate just happened to be the one senator who took a meeting with the Russian ambassador two months to the day before the election.

Sessions's spokeswoman is saying, hey, he met with ambassadors all the time in keeping with his role on Armed Services. But it makes sense that he might be in contact with ambassadors from military allies like the UK and Germany. Russia doesn't really qualify there.

If this was an innocent meeting, why not just admit that it happened? Now he's screwed.

That would be according to Rubio, McCarthy and Graham, all of whom suggest Sessions recuse himself from Russian related investigations.

Two top House Republicans said Thursday that Sessions should recuse himself from the federal investigation into Russia's attempts to influence last year's presidential election, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy of California and House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz of Utah.

McCarthy later tried to walk back his comments, telling Fox News that his statement earlier on MSNBC saying it would be "easier" if Sessions recused himself was not a demand for him to do so.

Chaffetz tweeted Thursday morning that "AG Sessions should clarify his testimony and recuse himself." That's a reference to the fact that during his confirmation hearing, Sessions told the Senate Judiciary Committee that "I did not have communications with the Russians" over the course of the 2016 presidential campaign.

They don't know. But they might find out if they investigate, and the question is definitely worth investigating.

If he lied under oath to the body he recently left, that is perjury and that means he cannot continue as the top law officer in the country. No wiggle room on this.

 

[NOIRTRASH]

This issue can go no where because there are no records or witnesses. So its political theater.

What we know for sure is Hillary and the DNC exposed their emails for discovery, and they were discovered by the Russians and exhibited. Its what all governments do. Democrat girls need to keep their knees together.

If he lied about meeting, the content or intent of those meetings is absolutely irrelevant.

 

[Hard_Rom]

Doubt he lied. Successful politicians don't need to lie. Obfuscating will suffice.

But if there is any sort of doubt or question recusing himself would be the proper thing to do. Doesn't take much to get opposition knickers in a bunch.

The US is already a flawed democracy over distrust of the government. Even hints of corruption and wrong doing don't help.

Recusing would be the right thing to do.

[Liar]

From what I can tell about the question and answer that might be called a lie, it's not a direct lie. He was asked if the Trump campaign, which he was part of, had contact with Russia. So he said no, Jeff Sessions the Trump campaigner did not have contact with Russia. However, Jeff Sessions the Senator, did.

Are they separate entities?

Sure, but then, Planned Parenthood the prenatal healthcare provider, and Planned Parenthood the abortion provider, are just as separate entities, and funding the former should be no problem.

There is no record of anything. That and Franken failed to ask the right questions. Sessions never concealed the contacts. Th3e real issue is: Did Trump conspire with Putin to harm Hillary? Trump said it best, IF THERE WAS ANYTHING TO IT THE DEMOCRAT LEAKERS WOULD HAVE SPILLED THE BEANS ALREADY. Obama ady said nothing illegal happened. The challenge for you is to present witnesses or records of what happened in the meeting. You cant. No one can.

Uh, yeah...,


Obama purchased a mansion in DC not far from the White House, Valerie Jarrett has moved in, he's already partaken in one anti-Trump ad, but he's not leading a movement to destabilize the government, damage it, or any other great mischief.

To believe this would require "a willing suspension of disbelief."

That's right.

Now, show us the lie.

Which part of "if" do you not understated the meaning of?
