    Sorry, but I read the full transcript and made my decision based on his duties as a Senator. If audio recording comes out that he is guilty of what they are assuming he did in his Senator capacity then I will call for him to resign. Until then, this is a non-story.

    See, much better reply. Well done. But we disagree on him lying. Specially when you read the full transcript.

    Should Sessions oversee the investigation of Russian involvement in the election?

    People defended Clinton.
    Same story, different day.

    We can agree to disagree, simply because I could bring up "grey area" for Clinton also.

    Wasn't there already an investigation into the election tampering and they found no evidence that changed votes, during Obama?
    Is there something new you are referring to?

    Edit: This whole line of questioning from Franken to Sessions wasn't about Russian tampering in the election.

    Franken's question was all about the fake MI6 dossier, and the #pissgate hooker story, along with alleged meetings between Russia and some of Trump's people, in which they even got the wrong person.

    It's pretty clear in context that Sessions was asked about the allegations in the dossier and that is exactly what he was denying, to the extent of his abilities to do so.

    Also Senator Patrick Leahy asked Sessions if he had "been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day. Sessions said "no". And there is no evidence anywhere to cast doubt on that claim, including WAPO.

    Routine meetings for a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The questions were framed to refer to conversations about the campaign, and in that context the meetings were irrelevant to the questions.

    Does anyone serious think the Russian had any way of influencing this election? With the help of any Republican or not?
    If the Russian had set on their hands, why would all the deplorable have voted for Clinton?

    Did you collude with the Russians to influence the election?

    How can, "No" ever be a lie when it can't be done?

    So Trump supporters think this is a "non story" ? Just want to make sure I understand this. Still wondering at what point this president stops representing you and your beliefs and values.... what scandal will be enough or too much? There has to be a breaking point right?

    Is Sessions working with the Russians? There is not enough evidence to definitively make that claim.

    However, there is enough between this current Sessions misstatement and Flynn to have a special prosecutor appointed. Sessions can't be in charge of the investigations.

    They eliminated the special prosecutor law after the last one took years investigating the misuse of cigars.

    As far as russian spies, isn't every Russian a Russian spy? What does that even really mean? Idk Was the dude a straight up KGB agent?

    In other countries they think all Americans are American spies probably. It's like what the fuck ever.

    All that said, sessions is a piece of shit, and if he hangs for whatever reason, I'm all for it. Fuck'm.

    Are you saying these people involved are in the same "side" as you? Wondering if this happened with Hillary's people you would brush it off as a non story or non issue? Honest question?

    I don't give a fuck who I'm a fan of or voted for or root for, if they are doing things that don't represent me or speak for me......I'm out. Can't support that kind of shit.

    What exactly do you think Sessions did wrong?
    Did you read the REAL context of the Franken question and not just the WAPO cut up quote?
    Please understand Sessions was answering a question, asked by Franken, about a fake news story running by CNN, regarding the "MI6 Dossier" and the question was insinuating current or former campaign members from that dossier. It was not a specific question about himself. And this is why Sessions replied the way he did.
