    Sessions discussed Trump campaign-related matters with Russian ambassador, U.S. intelligence intercepts show

    Russia’s ambassador to Washington told his superiors in Moscow that he discussed campaign-related matters, including policy issues important to Moscow, with Jeff Sessions during the 2016 presidential race, contrary to public assertions by the embattled attorney general, according to current and former U.S. officials.

    Ambassador Sergey Kislyak’s accounts of two conversations with Sessions — then a top foreign policy adviser to Republican candidate Donald Trump — were intercepted by U.S. spy agencies, which monitor the communications of senior Russian officials both in the United States and in Russia. Sessions initially failed to disclose his contacts with Kislyak and then said that the meetings were not about the Trump campaign.

    One U.S. official said that Sessions — who testified that he has no recollection of an April encounter — has provided “misleading” statements that are “contradicted by other evidence.” A former official said that the intelligence indicates that Sessions and Kislyak had “substantive” discussions on matters including Trump’s positions on Russia-related issues and prospects for U.S.-Russia relations in a Trump administration.

    Sessions has said repeatedly that he never discussed campaign-related issues with Russian officials and that it was only in his capacity as a U.S. senator that he met with Kislyak.

    “I never had meetings with Russian operatives or Russian intermediaries about the Trump campaign,” Sessions said in March when he announced that he would recuse himself from matters relating to the FBI probe of Russian interference in the election and any connections to the Trump campaign.

    Denny's only excited by Democratic corruption, not Republican corruption.

    barfo will have to embezzle funds from S2 to get Denny's interest.

    Starting to sound more like a SlyPokerDog thing than a barfo thing.

    What's the world come to when an elected official of one nation, can't discuss an election with the ambassador of a geopolitical rival, who might have deep financial ties with that elected official's candidate of choice?

    Witch Hunt ...

    It was claimed I'm only excited about Democratic scandal. Well, there you have one.
