Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) called for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign Thursday morning over allegations that he met with Russia’s ambassador twice last year then made a statement indicating otherwise during his confirmation hearings.
McCaskill has joined the dog pile of Democrats calling for Sessions’s resignation over the debacle. She threw some additional shade in the Attorney General’s direction Thursday morning by tweeting that she’s never met with Russia’s ambassador in the 10 years she’s served on the U.S. Senate Committee on Armed Services.

Lets not forget that Senator Kennedy not only met with the Russians in 1984 to stop Reagan but pretty much tried to conduct his own foreign policy. Democrats are not only on the wrong side of history but are dopey hypocrites.
“I’m so damn sick of this $h!7 - it is time to fight back. Trump should call a presser and say, “You know shortly after the election I said that I would not investigate Hillary. Well, I won’t but Jeff is going to, starting last night at 9:30 when the Ratbastards threw out the latest chapter in their book, “We’re really butt hurt about the election(s)”. We will systematically investigate and prosecute all wrong doing that we uncover ....... until the BS stops. So, unless you ‘Rats all want to end up in jail, you might want to reconsider your options.”
“If only ........ sigh .....”
I completely agree with you.
When the demoncrats act this way, Trump should come down on them extremely hard!!!
Demoncrats want to play dirty politics. Then have at it!
Elections have consequences.

I demand I repeat I DEMAND a list of any and all meetings of any member of Congress both House and Senate the last two years with any member of the Russian government
I also demand I DEMAND a list of any and all meetings of any member of the Hillary campaign the last two years with the any member of the Russian government
And I demand I repeat I DEMAND a list of any and all meetings of any of the Obama Administration the last two years with any member of the Russian government
Because this b******* has got to stop people that work in the u.s. government meet with the Russian Ambassador as part of their freaking job
Funny, I think Missouri voters are going to call for Claire McCaskill to "resign" next year too.
Democrats Admit to Being Lobbied by Russia, China and Europe Before Backing Iran Nuclear Deal
By Patrick Goodenough
September 3, 2015
(CNSNews.com) – More than a dozen of the 34 Democratic senators who have declared their support for the Iran nuclear agreement cited arguments by America’s five negotiating partners that there would be no better deal forthcoming if the U.S. rejects this one.
On Wednesday, the number of senators to have publicly stated support for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) climbed to 34 – all Democrats – thereby giving President Obama the backing he needs to sustain his veto of a Republican-led resolution disapproving it, which is expected to pass by mid-September.
As previously undecided senators one by one came out in support of the agreement over the past month, references in their statements to the views of the other P5+1 governments involved in the negotiations – Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany – were strikingly common.
Many of them attended a briefing by ambassadors from those countries in early August.
When she announced her support for the deal on August 6, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said, “In a meeting earlier this week, when I questioned the ambassadors of our P5+1 allies, it also became clear that if we reject this deal, going back to the negotiation table is not an option.”
Four days later Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) said she had asked the ambassadors of the five other countries involved in the talks “detailed questions about what their countries and others would do if Congress does not approve the agreement.”
“[N]ot one of them believed that abandoning this deal would result in a better deal,” she said. Instead, “international consensus” would splinter, sanctions would unravel and Iran’s nuclear program would be left unconstrained.
On Aug. 13, Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) also referred to the ambassadors’ briefing.
“[S]ome say that, should the Senate reject this agreement, we would be in position to negotiate a ‘better’ one,” he wrote. “But I’ve spoken to representatives of the five nations that helped broker the deal, and they agree that this simply wouldn’t be the case.
“[A]t a recent meeting of leaders from our partner nations, I specifically asked the ambassadors to the U.S. from China, the United Kingdom, and Russia whether their countries would come back to negotiate again should the U.S. walk away from the deal,” Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii) said on Aug. 17.
“They unanimously said, ‘No,’ that there was already a deal – the one before Congress.”
“I have no reason to disbelieve all five governments [Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany] speaking together,” said Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) on Aug. 18. “I have heard their warnings that if we walk away from this agreement before even giving it a try, the prospect of further multilateral negotiations yielding any better result is ‘far-fetched.’”
“This agreement is not perfect, but I have personally spoken to leaders representing the P5+1 countries and the European Union who have said quite clearly that if the United States rejects this agreement, they will not join in new negotiations for a better deal,” Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich.) said on Aug 24.
“There are those who say that we should go back to the negotiating table and try to get a better deal,” Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.) said on Aug. 25. “I respect that view, but I have heard directly from top ambassadors representing our P5+1 partners as well as members of the administration that starting over is not an option.”
“Earlier this month, several of my colleagues and I met with representatives of our five negotiating partners,” Sen. Thomas Carper (D-Dela.) said on Aug. 28.
“They told us bluntly that if Congress kills this deal, the broad coalition of countries imposing sanctions on Iran would collapse,” he said. “If Congress rejects this deal now, a better one will not take its place, they declared.”
Menendez challenges ‘take it or leave it’ argument
Other JCPOA supporters who mentioned having taken into account the views of the other P5+1 ambassadors included Sens. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.), Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.), Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.), Chris Coons (D-Dela.) and Robert Casey (D-Pa.).

Crazy Claire is running for reelection in 2018.
In fact we need to start compiling a list of every freaking Democrat or or Democrat operative that had any meeting with any Russian government member I’m sure there are a lot of them and then start throwing accusations at them over and over and over again!!!
We should also start doing it for every member of the press any meetings any member of the press the last two years has had any meetings with members of the Russian government and throwing accusations at them
We both know that there are so many meetings of all these people with members of the Russian government ...just day top day business so we need to start really throwing the same slanderous accusation back in their face for every single meeting and if they did deny a meeting throw the evidence in there face
This is crap they’re pulling
What about all the people in the Obama administration who have been photographed meeting with Putin - including Hillary, Kerry, Biden, and Obama himself? Shouldn’t they be investigated? Nancy Pelodi should definitely be investigated, because she had some very public meetings with Assad.
Also, Merkel, Hollande, and Poroshenko should be looked at very closely - they have had innumerable conversations with Putin. Have they had conversations in which NATO was discussed? Very suspicious.
bump
“Oopsie! Up to 30 Democrats should resign for meeting with Russian diplomats in 2015”

Good catch.
Thanks for posting this.
You cannot fight the Rats with hypocrisy charges they are immune. What is obvious is coordination among MSM and the Rats. McTraitor’s town hall the night before the Session attack, NYT ... New Yorker magazine even had thier front cover ready to go for today. The Rats called for Sessions head within minutes of the breaking story. Now Obongo’s moved Jarret into house in DC. Trump was very dismissive of thIs coup attempt publicly l pray
It’s a head fake because they are going take him out if he doesn’t go full nuclear on thier asses.
Resign.
Ri-i-i-i-ight.
They harassed Bush’s AG too. John Ashcroft. He was just too religious for them.
Yes, she lied
and she did so to slander a former colleague
she gotta go
we demand a special prosecutor
Why pick on Trump? They should expand their “investigation” to the Clinton campaign, the Obama campaign, every member of congress and high level bureaucrats.
Yes! Let’s tell it like it is!!!!
