After listening, IDK about that Mach. Franken is specifically asking about compromising information and Trump being in contact with the Russians. They are talking about the "hacking" here. Prior to 2:13 he says he can't comment on the "hacking". Then Franken hits him with a new story from CNN that just came out THAT DAY. They're talking about the "Pee Pee Gate" dossier btw. Franken even admits that he has no idea if it's true.

Not cut and dried at all. The question was about Sessions as a surrogate. If he did it as a Senator, he answered the question truthfully, if not completely. Secondly, you have to show that he intended to mislead and didn't just forget about the meeting 4 months before.

Franken sure likes to hear himself talk. He took about 2 and a half minutes to ask that question. Hard to remember what it was about at the end of his rambling.

The raids produced no intelligence. Pick your site. Most of you will say fake News. It's not good guys. We have a liar in chief and lying cabinet members who were rushed into confirmation before the goods came out.

I find no joy in this either. We've been infiltrated. He's incompetent at best. I don't even want to tell you the worst. 1+1=2

I was happier last year during lent. I know that and before some slap pt mentions work. I'm home with the flu. So I have my iPad in one hand and a Kleenex in the other. Not good here on the shores of Lake Erie.

I don't care if he lied about that. It made the widow feel good. And unlike Obama, he wasn't trying to take the credit for it.

Franken was trying to trap him with words. He clearly did a decent job of it. Part of Sessions job would be to talk to ambassadors from time to time. I think the response Session made was clear but it depends on how you define "The Russians" I guess. I can see how the left would get whipped into a frenzy here. When I listen to the context of the conversation it's pretty clear (to me anyway) he means the officials who were involved with the hacking operation, not ANY Russian.

I mean, if "intelligence officials" really know about all of these conversations that have been had between the Trump team and "The Russians" why don't they just come out with the tapes already? It's getting kind of old. If something happened I want to know about it. They owe that to the American public.

Look at the dates. The thread was started last year (he didn't post during lent last year). Someone went back and drummed it up yesterday. He never said he was going to stop posting during lent this year.

I obviously didn't look at the dates. Didn't open the thread either, just saw the title and was surprised it had about 8 or 10 pages of comments.

Sounds like British and Dutch officials were interfering in the presidential campaign on behalf of Hillary Clinton and President Obama was purposely spreading information around that should have had a higher classification. Maybe we should have an inquiry into contacts between the Democrats and foreign governments interfering into the investigation and mishandling of classified information by President Obama. Lock him up!!!!

Because he was a FRICKIN' ARMED FORCES COMMITTEE SENATOR!!!

This is getting STUPIDLY ridiculous by the Democrats and the media

Oh my god... a SITTING us senator (who admittedly did support Trump) during the campaign meets with the Russian ambassador while doing.. you know... HIS FRICKIN' JOB!!!

Hope you feel better. Flu in NC is brutal this year. All six of my co-workers have been out, 2 with diagnosed flu, as well as several members of family.

There's a guy on another site I visit who keeps making the same kind of comments but he never comes out and tells anyone anything when asked directly. Trump "colluded" with the Russians......but never says exactly what the collusion dealt with, what it resulted in, and why "it's not good" for America. But dammit, it's ominous.

Of course, post stories about American meddling in foreign elections, including Obama's home country of Kenya, and the guy disappears for a while.

Had the flu two weeks ago. Doctor pointed to this from the CDC

Quote:Based on early estimates, flu vaccines this season have reduced a vaccinated person’s risk of getting sick and having to go to the doctor because of flu by about half (48%).

I'm not sure exactly what that means but apparently it is a bad year.

Come on now, the increase was no more than the cost of protecting embassy staff in Barbados.

Best guess on my part as a republican and political junkie.

Sessions will ultimately be forced to resign. There will be an Independent Prosecutor (this is absolutely inevitable). Where this ends up... probably somewhere between Watergate and Iran Contra.

Honestly, I think this will have the opposite effect the Obama/progressives want. Unless Trump is removed from office he could come out stronger...like William Jefferson Clinton did during the Lewinsky crap.

BTW: all the "Russians" did was release emails that show what slime little worms the DNC and HRC people are....

I'm worried the Dossier is correct and they have compromised Trump. They have something on him. Too many Russians are now dead that are tied to the Dossier. Can any of you admit this would be a catastrophic fire if the shoe was on the other foot? Just the dead Russians alone that were tied to it. Put in runs a tight ship for sure. If I was a Russian that had some talks with Team Trump I'd be a one nervous mofo.
