Your ignorance of government policy is astounding. It wasn't PRIVATE if it is in his office. It is an official act/meeting. No one in federal government would have viewed this as "a contact," requiring it to be reported through security channels. THAT is what makes the whole inquiry a sham, and everyone knows it. Except you.

Lied for what? To what end? What was concealed? There is nothing there. You are getting played by the Democrats and their worthless line of questioning. I spent years oversees meeting with foreign officials and I would have NEVER considered them to be a contacts requiring contact memos to be written for security purposes, as long as it was official business. That is policy.

Sessions COULD HAVE written on his SF86, "During my time in the Senate from 19XX-2016, I met with a snot-load of Russians during official USG business."

But no one does that. No one. Never seen it in 30 years, and this underscores what total hacks the democrats are.

Sessions did not lie and DJT is making strategic stupid mistakes for no reason.

During his confirmation hearings Sessions was asked if he’d had Russian contacts. He’d had two conversations with the Russian ambassador, but he denied it anyway.

It was a lie.

In conjunction with the hearings, Sessions was given a set of written questions to answer. One asked specifically if he’d had Russian contacts. He’d had two, but he denied them.

It was a lie.

It’s been pointed out that all he had to do was tell the truth. He could have answered, in both cases, that yes, he’d spoken twice to the Russian ambassador. He could have described those conversations. That’s what an honest man would have done.

But Sessions lied...and Trump is paying the price.

Here’s a third instance of Sessions failing to disclose the Russian contacts. This one concerns his security clearance.

‘Washington (CNN)Attorney General Jeff Sessions did not disclose meetings he had last year with Russian officials when he applied for his security clearance, the Justice Department told CNN Wednesday.

Sessions, who met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak at least two times last year, didn’t note those interactions on the form, which requires him to list “any contact” he or his family had with a “foreign government” or its “representatives” over the past seven years, officials said.

The new information from the Justice Department is the latest example of Sessions failing to disclose contacts he had with Russian officials.’
