It took minutes, not hours, for top congressional Democrats to call on Trump's Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign on Wednesday evening after the WaPo reported that he had allegedly met with the Russian ambassador in the months before the election, meetings that Sessions did not disclose during his confirmation hearings.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) led the effort late on Wednesday night, accusing Sessions of "lying under oath" during confirmation proceedings about his contacts with the Russians.
"Jeff Sessions lied under oath during his confirmation hearing before the Senate. Under penalty of perjury, he told the Senate Judiciary Committee, 'I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.' We now know that statement is false," Pelosi said in a statement. She then added that "The Attorney General must resign. There must be an independent, bipartisan, outside commission to investigate the Trump political, personal and financial connections to the Russians.”

DID SESSIONS LIE UNDER OATH RO NOT? THIS REQUIRES JUST A YES OR NO ANSWER.
Jail time would not be a bar to service in a Democrat or Socialist administration.

This is all deflection from Pizzagate.
Can’t wait for the hammer to fall.
In a word, no.
Flip off.

Hillary's campaign chair, John Podesta, Continued His Ties to Russian Energy Companies involved in the transfer of US uranium assets after Claiming He Divested

PODESTA'S LUCRATIVE RUSSIAN CONNECTIONS--- A leaked Jan. 3, 2014 document shows that Podesta transferred more than 25,000 of 75,000 shares of Joule Technologies---a Russian-connected firm---to Leonidio Holdings LLC. Podesta's tax returns are evidence of his Russian activities.
Leonidio Holdings, LLC, is listed w/ an address at his daughter's Megan Rouse’s Shannon Court home in Dublin, California. Rouse operates Megan Rouse Financial Planning from that same address.
The inference is to money laundering, perhaps tax evasion. Suggests that Megan Rouse's father, John Podesta, hid stocks connected to Russia. Documents show that Podesta received 75,000 shares of Joule Unlimited Technologies......an outfit which was linked to alleged money laundering by the Russian government, according to media reports.
=============================================
The Center for American Progress (CAP) was started in 2003 by John Podesta, Bill Clinton's onetime Chief of Staff; Podesta led Obama’s presidential transition team after 2008 and was Hillary’s 2016 losing campaign.
==============================================
John Podesta, Hillary's campaign chairman, acting as "The Podesta Group" lobbied on behalf of Uranium one, after most of it was owned by the Russians.
The NYT and Washington Post never reported about Pravda's headline: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.” Imagine if a Republican State Department approved such a deal?
On January 2013 Pravda trumpeted Putin’s coup: “Russian Nuclear Energy Conquers the World.” Details how the Russian atomic energy agency, Rosatom, had taken over a Canadian company with uranium-mining stakes stretching from Central Asia to the American West.
Beyond mines in Kazakhstan that are among the most lucrative in the world, the sale gave the Russians control of one-fifth of all uranium production capacity in the United States. Since uranium is considered a strategic asset, with implications for national security, the deal had to be approved by a committee composed of representatives from a number of United States government agencies. Among the agencies that eventually signed off was the State Department, then headed by Hillary Rodham Clinton.
=========================================
The Clintons ties to Russia have been ignored far too long. The infamous Russian uranium deal occurred during President Obama’s administration.
The New York Times reported the Clintons' connections thusly: "Cash Flowed to Clinton Foundation Amid Russian Uranium Deal." Plus Bill Clinton pocketed $500,000 from a Moscow investment bank for a brief speech.
==================================================
The Clintons have to explain these reports: “As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation.”
As the Russians gradually assumed control of Uranium One in three separate transactions from 2009 to 2013, Canadian records show, a flow of cash made its way to the Clinton Foundation.
Ian Telfer, Uranium One’s chairman, used his family foundation to make four donations to the Clinton Foundation totaling $2.35 million. Those contributions were not publicly disclosed by the Clintons, despite an agreement Mrs. Clinton had struck with the Obama White House to publicly identify all donors. Other people with ties to the company made donations as well.
================================================
Then-Pesident Obama knew nothing about this?
the quote is
“I did not have communications with the Russians”
This turns on the context...Did he mean NO communications or did he mean in reference to the CNN story that Franken was quoting.
President Trump hits home run Congress Speech.
A day later MEDIA releases another Russian story.
Coincidence? We all know it’s not.
I can’t wait for the hammer to fall as well. Child sexual predators are the lowest of scum and deserve a special place in hell. If this story is true, I pray the evil doers are arrested and convicted.
Exactly, just what I was thinking when I read this. Nazi Pelosi wouldn’t even clap when Trump talked about creating jobs at his speech. That says it all, people like her do not give one rats ass about the American people, it’s all about her and her Rat cronies.
“WaPo reported that he had allegedly met with the Russian ambassador in the months before the election,”
Sources?
*************************************************************
Doesn’t matter because there is no wrongdoing here as far as anything I have read. It is not illegal, nor is it improper for Sessions or ANY Senator to have met with the Russians. He has denied speaking of the election so let the Libs now produce the evidence he did speak with them in any way regarding the Russians potential impact on the upcoming election.
The president should simply declassify any documentation specifically surrounding this allegation.
