If this is true, then it's terrible. Sessions was one of the really strong men in Trump's cabinet.

Between Leaky Leahy and the Washington Compost, it’s hard to decide which to believe less.

Ignore them and proceed with the agenda.

That’s what Democrats taught us. We would do well to learn it.

His meetings were part of his role in the Senate. As he said, he met with ambassadors from many countries.

Meanwhile, Hillary sold 20% of America’s uranium to Russia in a deal she helped broker.

In return, her “husband” gave two speeches in Russia for $500,000 apiece.

And we’re supposed to be upset that then Sen. Sessions spoke to the ambassadors of many nations, including Russia?

Color me unimpressed and unconcerned.

You sound like a loser. I’m sorry but you really do.

The democrats have nothing but wind and piss. They can do nothing, absolutely nothing else, and they won’t be taking Jeff Sessions down period. They won’t even be able to hold hearings where they hope to control the news cycle with their BS.

Various articles, about this, from different “news” organizations, has been posted all night. After you’ve read several, you can plainly see what FAKE NEWS this is.

The Washington Post contacted all 26 members of the 2016 Senate Armed Services Committee to see whether any lawmakers besides Sessions met with Kislyak in 2016. Of the 20 lawmakers who responded, every senator, including Chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.), said they did not meet with the Russian ambassador last year. The other lawmakers on the panel did not respond as of Wednesday evening.

“Members of the committee have not been beating a path to Kislyak’s door,” a senior Senate Armed Services Committee staffer said, citing tensions in relations with Moscow. Besides Sessions, the staffer added, “There haven’t been a ton of members who are looking to meet with Kislyak for their committee duties.”

So these 20 lawmakers didn't think it was worth having open lines of communication at least with the ambassador of a country that has enough clout to evaporate life on the planet? Sounds to me like those 20 are derelict in their duty.

If this were true, then why did Sessions get confirmed? Wouldn’t this have been an issue blocking or delaying his confirmation? Why bring it up now? I think I smell something...

If you’ve spoken to a Russian you’ve got “Russian Ties” (most of mine I picked up cheap in Hong Kong and Singapore, thank you). Funny they can’t see the irony in their acting like the good old KGB. “Have you spoken to an American? Please come with me, Comrade.”

THE REAL STORY AND WHATS REALLY GOING ON. Where is the evidence of anything wrong, there is none, only accusations for fake news headlines.
He did not lie and this is not news, every Senator knew he had met with many ambassadors(25) including the Russian’s as a part of the Armed Service Committee. And the questions and his answers during confirmation hearings were understood to mean meetings outside these. The Propagandist MSM and all Leftist and their minions are simply going to use a fake story (Evil Russians and Republicans Traitors) to attack anybody in the Trump admin to stop Trump from making America great again.
