Andrew McCarthy on why it’s absurd for Democrats to claim Jeff Sessions committed perjury
Canada Free Press ^ | 03/03/17 | Dan Calabrese

Not. Even. Close. Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer don't really think Sessions committed perjury. They know he didn't. They're lying

When Democrat politicians decide they’re going to run with a narrative, it has nothing to do with whether the narrative is true. It only has to do with whether they can sell it. The average person doesn’t know the legal definition of perjury. The average person who shares news links on social media doesn’t know either. If you repeat it enough and you convince these people that something happened, you’ve got a shot at winning the perception game and it may as well have happened.

So when they run around suggesting that Jeff Sessions committed perjury in his confirmation hearings, they know he didn’t. They don’t care. It’s not as if the media are going to “fact check” them, because the media are helping to sell the narrative too. The only thing that matters is their ability to sell the narrative to enough of the public.

Flashback: Chuck Schumer Meets with Putin in New York City

Jim Hoft Mar 2nd, 2017 7:10 pm

Where’s the outrage?

Democrat Senate Minority leader Chuck Schumer continues to push the Russia conspiracy.

But it was Schumer who met with Putin in New York City – not Trump.

The picture above was taken in 2003 as Russian President Vladimir Putin, right, enjoys a Krispy Kreme doughnut and coffee with Senator Charles Schumer from New York as Putin visits the first New York gas station of the Russian company Lukoil.

The hysteria over Trump administration officials talking — or not talking — with Russia needs to end.

It’s getting in the way of putting America back on track.

It might be absurd but it worked. The fascist left has neutered Sessions and put one of Barry’s moles in charge of the McCain and Graham witch hunts.

It isn’t absurd for Democrats to claid anything bease the other side keeps resigning and reusing themselves.

My guess is that the Dem spies told them earlier in the week that Sessions was gonna have that pre-scheduled DOJ meeting mid-week to discuss whether he should recuse himself, and saw it as a great opportunity to pile on, so that a recusal would look sinister, rather than upstanding. The fact that it took Trump’s great speech out of the news cycle was icing on the cake.

The left uses a tactic of simply ignoring what doesn't fit their narrative consider immigration they simply now refuse to use the term illegal ....they just say immigrants. As if there is no difference between a legal and illegal immigrants

So in this cast they simply refuse to acknowledge that the question was about contact with the Russians concerning the campaign ....

And it was not an all exclusive question... Have you ever had any contact with a Russian in any capacity ...period

Because obviously any member of Congress knows they've ALL met with some Russian officials in some capacity as part of their job
