Democrats continue to attack Attorney General Jeff Sessions for a pair of meetings he had with the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in 2016 while he was a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee and an occasional surrogate for the Trump campaign. However, a new report from Fox News is throwing cold water on the idea that the meetings were part of some nefarious plot between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Over at FoxNews.com, Hans Von Spakovsky reports that least one of the meetings was actually arranged, in part, by the Obama administration.
The first [meeting] 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. (emphasis added)
So was the Obama administration in on the Russian conspiracy?
As we reported on Thursday, it's neither improper or unusual for Senators to meet with foreign envoys.
Whaaaaaaat? Please arrest these people!
I’m starting to get a feeling that this “A Rooski Behind Every Trump” program was Plan B created by Idi Amin Obama and his fascist thugs long before the election. I’m positive they knew that Clintoonie wasn’t a sure thing. She was too corrupt and too crooked.
Ahh...haa, so community organizer Obama & his dufus henchman John Kerry were the puppet masters for this “secret meeting”?
You can’t make this stuff up.
Another gotcha....
This is the doing of obama, Soros and Clinton. Do a set up, use it later to make nothing into something.
This is way they form their shadow government.
They deflect attention away from their failed campaign and policies.
They undermine, and attack on different levels.
Then they can bring the Sanders, and Clinton campaign together while making the administration the enemy, and stop people being reminded on how Clinton robbed Bernie, and rigged an election.
Nixon Khrushchev
Reagan Gorbashchev
etc.
We talk with ambassadors, too.
Ping.
A public speech, huh?
Hope the CIA has decoded the secret language Sessions used to instruct the Russkies on how to bring down our illustrious Secretary. No doubt there was a message there about changing her schedule so she wouldn’t campaign in the rust belt and get her so stupid drunk she’d stagger into her waiting van.
He even gave them the idea to hack her microphone so it would sound like she called half of American voters “deplorable”
Very tricky that Jeffy
I'm sorry, but Sessions doesn't have the fire to be AG. He is not going to go after the stench of Clinton/Obama corruption because the Dems will force him to recuse himself in those investigations too. He was better off remaining in the Senate, and actually in hindsight he shouldn't have been Trump's adviser during the campaign either. He should have simply endorsed him and left it at that.
Maybe you should be attorney general.
Sorry to say you are right. Also think that either Trump has been compromised , threaten with death to himself and family members, or has found out about some God awful state secrets and other issues that can never be release to the public short of a total collapse of all civil control and all governments. He has changed his position on so many things in such a few number a days and then just quitting on sessions and now I can see there will be no light shown on nobam, hillary and bills crimes, so so many of them, ever! Never ever will they be held account able!
Yeah, he has been on the job for 8 days and Hillary isn’t inn jail yet.
