Democrats were aghast after learning Attorney General Jeff Sessions met twice, as a senator, with Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. without telling Congress at his confirmation hearing – but it turns out Sergey Kislyak is no stranger to lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

The longtime Russian ambassador met with seven then-Democratic senators in a single sit-down in 2013, among other discussions – and reportedly was a frequent visitor to the Obama White House.

You're a fucking idiot. We understand how you're trying to spin this. You're not smart enough to mask your intent. Context is everything. As well as timing.

I would say FOH with your Jedi Mind Tricks, but you're no Jedi. Instead, I'll just say you and your fuck boy antics can remove themselves from the thread. Stop being a dumb, ho ass bitch.

Keep trying

They are politicians ... so they will find loopholes in everything.

could probably leave it at that. looking for loopholes isn't a partisan thing.

I never said he should resign im just pointing out the hypocrisy and wanna know why they clinging on so hard to Russia because there must be something there.

oh, it's absolutely hypocritical. i'm just saying a couple of things:

01. it's hypocritical from both sides: each party screams that offenders from the other must resign/be impeached/be slain on the field of battle, while downplaying the offenses of their own;

02. Sessions probably doesn't have any serious legal fears from this alone;

03. raving about it is counter-productive (from people like Pelosi, not you)

 

[janklow]

HINT: It has NOTHING to do with Politics or Parisian motivation.

hint: i bet you'd find it hard to name someone who really, truly voted against Sessions for reasons far beyond partisanship. i'm not talking about people out there in the streets who have legitimate issues with the man (or are legitimate fans, i suppose). i'm talking about the scumbags in Congress.

PS: You and everyone else are supposed to "TRUST YOUR own OPINION" and the conclusions that you come to regarding the FACTs that are presented.

okay, but i think you're missing my point: if a politician presents themselves as a fountain of knowledge as to why Sessions should resign/go to jail/etc, and instead of just laying out the facts, starts tossing in "he should never have been AG anyway," it's counterproductive. it allows me to say "oh, this is about bias, not just what Sessions did or did not do."

 

[janklow]

George W. Bush still the worst president, people's memory are short but not mine:

if you don't realize that James Buchanan was worse, this isn't about people's short memories, this is about a lack of historical perspective, common to Americans, who insist the most recent two presidents were the best/worst constantly.

 

[Shizlansky]

Republicans dead as saying the media and America need to forget about this Russian shit.

Talking about Americans needs to focus on healthcare and how to build American back up again. (It ain't fall)

They brushing off a Foreign Powerhouse influence on the most important thing in America.

I really hate these bastards

HINT: It has NOTHING to do with Politics or Parisian motivation.

hint: i bet you'd find it hard to name [ONE PERSON in Congress] who really, truly voted against Sessions for reasons far beyond partisanship. i'm not talking about people out there in the streets who have legitimate issues with the man (or are legitimate fans, i suppose). i'm talking about the scumbags in Congress.

How the HELL could you possibly know this?

Are you personally acquainted with ALL 400+ members of Congress... to verify that EACH and every one of them are completely void of a moral compass and have NO DESIRE, whatsoever, to act on behalf of the American people.

This is what I'm talking about with this cynical, broad brush y'all paint EVERYTHING with.

The FACT of the matter is ... Jeff Sessions SHOULD NOT have been appointed AG ...

... PERIOD.

In fact, he was denied this position decades ago.

I hope I don't have to explain to you the host of reasons why this is...

So why on earth would I dismiss someone in government saying something that I KNOW to be true ... just because they happen to be a Democrat.

That would be using a hyper-partisan lens to paralyze my own critical thinking.

Which is what the majority of Americans have been doing a lot of lately...

Though Trump did not mention the source of these explosive allegations, conservative radio host Mark Levin and Breitbart News this week charged that the Obama administration used “police state” tactics to keep tabs on Trump’s campaign. Both outlets mention wiretaps at Trump Tower focused on a computer server suspected of links to Russian banks.

So the source of these accusations is White Supremacist Breitbart & that crackpot Mark Levin...

 

[Mr.LV]

Trump having a meltdown on Twitter he knows the walls are closing in on him.

Fearful the new administration will abuse its power, the former president’s lawyers are uniting to fight back.

Top lawyers who helped the Obama White House craft and hold to rules of conduct believe President Donald Trump and his staff will break ethics norms meant to guard against politicization of the government — and they’ve formed a new group to prepare, and fight.

United to Protect Democracy, which draws its name from a line in President Barack Obama’s farewell address that urged his supporters to pick up where he was leaving off, has already raised a $1.5 million operating budget, hired five staffers and has plans to double that in the coming months. They’ve incorporated as both a 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4), allowing them to operate as a nonprofit but participate in some forms of political advocacy as well.

while other Trump opponents focus on taking the president to court over the travel ban and deportations, the new group plans to drill into issues that aren’t already hitting the headlines, like potential intervention in and intimidation of regulatory agencies by West Wing staff.

“When people hear concerns about democracies declining into authoritarianism, they expect that moment to come in a singular thunderclap where everyone can see that this is the time,” said Ian Bassin, who’s leading the new group. “In reality, often times, democracies decline over a period of years that happen through a series of much smaller steps.”

They started by submitting 50 Freedom of Information Act requests this week that they believe will confirm their suspicions. The plan is to bring what they find to reporters, build it into pressure for congressional oversight with the help of a campaign director they’ll hire, and, as necessary, to file lawsuits.

Obama aint taking no shorts.

 

[TheNightKing]

I think some shit about to come out and he's trying to get ahead of it. He'll basically try to pull what Hillary did. Place focus on the source instead of the allegations.
