This deserves to be reposted because some may not have seen it.
A really good article
It is especially good at explaining why Sessions had to recuse himself and hoe Obama may be afraid of the guy who replaced him.
It’s Sessions’ job as a senator to talk to the Russian ambassador. He met with 25 different foreign ambassadors during his time on the Senate armed forces committee.
The whole argument, that the MSM conveniently leaves out when they misleadingly report on this stuff, is that he was meeting with them as a surrogate of the Trump campaign. In the context of the question asked, he did not meet with them as part of the campaign or as a surrogate for the campaign.
Meeting with the Russian ambassador as a Senator doesn’t even come close to justification, because that’s his freaking job to do so. That’s what ambassadors are there for. They meet with dozens of senators and other government officials. Nothing about that at all justifies a wiretap of a sitting senator.
It’s not sketchy, it’s one branch of government spying on the other in order to get blackmail. Every member of congress should be concerned about this because it could happen to them too and if it does it can be used to control them thereby bypassing the whole government answering to the people thing since the people in actual control over the government would be unelected and those congressmen would be puppets.
This shouldn’t even be a debate. If they tapped sessions then a bill should immediately be passed making the NSA spying program illegal because it’s an extremely large threat to our democracy.
Every senator is a potential target, and the intelligence agencies are showing they’re willing to go to that level. The only reason I can see them not doing it is if the members of congress are already compromised
