    Well when Hillary lied about Benghazi being caused by some friggin video, I was miffed. Then I went and looked at the video. Then I was pissed, really pissed.
    I see nothing now to piss me off. Does that answer your question?

    Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, among many, many others. Every single administration in history has had this happen to them.
    You'll always be 'out' at that point.

    Well, Sessions just recused himself from all current and future FBI investigations into Russia and trump campaign ties.

    It's a first step, but I'd love a special prosecutor

    Thing is, what they say happened DIDN'T HAPPEN. He was asked if he spoke with the Russians about the campaign, and he said no. Then they pointed at two conversations he had with the Russian Ambassador as part of his job as a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, and started shouting "He said he didn't talk to the Russians!"

    It's the politics of personal destruction techniques that Clinton perfected when he was in office. It doesn't matter what's true, it only matters what we can make people think is true by sheer repetition.

    Sessions meetings with Russian ambassador not on his calendar. All other meetings with ambassadors are on his calendar. His staff had no knowledge of his meetings with Russian ambassador.

    Do you think it was a clandestine meeting in his office?

    To find what? Don't you guys get it, nothing happened. This Russian thing is literally FAKE news. There was no Russian/Trump collusion to "hack" the election.

    What the hell are they all talking to the Russians about???

    I call BS on your take MarAzul, Blue 32 etc. If Chelsea Clinton, and Eric Holder, and Bill Clinton, whoever - were all talking to the Russians - and then lying about it before Congress! - you would be calling for their heads. And rightfully so.

    For the job Sessions is stepping into...lying under oath to the governing body sort of loses you the job...huge red flag...he needs to simply resign and accept the pardon from Trump. If you're draining swamps, you need to unclog the drain sometimes

    I'll confess ignorance on the finer points of the duties of the Armed Services Committee members, but I wasn't under the impression it was their job to meet with foreign diplomats. That's the Secretary of State and the Executive Branch's balliwick. Right?

    I found that a little strange myself, I could be misremembering which committee he was working for at the time.

    Call whatever you want. But what is to worry, we got a reset with Russia, right!
