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!!!
Pretty sure Sessions has had an R next to his name for some time now, too. The lunatic left apparently is surprised he would support Trump.

You know it was planned during zerO admin and only got greenlighted when it did due to the first moonless night, right?
I covered this the other day...maybe you missed it.
Aside from the fact that Trump is the CIC and it matters not at all what Obama did or did not plan any way, Trump merely okaying it would constitute gross negligence on his part.
How long has Trump told us that Obama does not know what he's doing...specifically with the war on terror? How he's feckless and incompetent, etc?
So Trump is going to blindly take a plan Obama drew up and say "run with it boys" with no further thought?
Trump was not even in the situation room during the raid. Instead, he was tweeting out, and correcting that tweet, about his next media appearance. That's really how you want a new president to handle his first significant military operation?
You guys falling in line and worshiping everything Trump does now is just pathetic. You told us for eight years how Obama needed to stop blaming Bush and take responsibility for things and yadda yadda yadda. And now? Puhleeze!

cons in 2009-2016: it doesn't matter what Obama inherited, Bush isn't in office anymore.
cons in 2017: But Obama planned that raid!!!!
cons in 2009: Obama shouldn't get credit for ending the war in iraq, Bush planned the troop removal!!!
Cons in 2014-2017: Obama ended the war in iraq. that was all his fault. he is terrible for planning the removal of troops from iraq which created ISIS.
Cons in 2011: Obama didn't kill bin laden, that was the military. only the military should get credit for the outcome of a raid
cons in 2017: trump didn't kill a seal. that was Obama. Obama is responsible for the outcome of a raid
L O f***ing L.

Remember when the Obama white house openly interfered with the election in Israel? I member. Where was the outrage by the left then? BUT THE SANCTITY OF THE ELECTORAL PROCESS IS AT STAKE!!!!!!
Would be cool if our democrat legislators would actually you know, legislate, rather than chase this magic dragon every day.

(03-02-2017 01:20 PM)Machiavelli Wrote: The top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee on Thursday accused FBI Director James Comey of withholding crucial information about its probe into Russian interference in the election.
"I would say at this point we know less than a fraction of what the FBI knows,” Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told reporters after a briefing with Comey.
“I appreciate we had a long briefing and testimony from the director today, but in order for us to do our investigation in a thorough and credible way, we're gonna need the FBI to fully cooperate, to be willing to tell us the length and breadth of any counterintelligence investigations they are conducting,” Schiff said. “At this point, the director was not willing to do that.”
The briefing came as Attorney General Jeff Sessions is facing calls to recuse himself from an investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia after it was revealed that Sessions met twice with the Russia ambassador last year, and didn’t tell senators about it during his confirmation hearing.
Schiff indicated that Comey and the Justice Department should be more cooperative and forthcoming at their next meeting “because we’re gonna need that information.”
“And we’re better off getting that through the voluntary cooperation of the FBI than having to contemplate whether we need to subpoena the FBI,” he said.
Mach, or any of your fellow lefty travelers, serious question:
Let's just go with the Rooskies were behind the release of the DNC emails after Podesta clicked on that hotlink, k? No evidence of that, but we'll go with it:
How many votes, or voters do you really think that may have influenced? Do you honestly think some large # of H> voters read that inside baseball drivel and said "Yup, that's it. Podesta thinks shes an aimless, crappy candidate, and CNN talking head was feeding H> the debate questions in advance. So now I'm switching to Trump." Really?
I'd put that number somewhere between larger than zero, and smaller than 4 figures. I'd further bet my lunch money that fewer than 20% of the entire electorate was even paying attention to, or had any idea about reading internal DNC emails.
This entire thing is such a nothing-burger it's amusing.
The Russians are coming, The Russians are coming!!! lol

No. They didn't. One guy who used to work for Obama went to work for a guy in Israel. That was the extent of the interfering.

The left is whipping itself into a frenzy over what is the equivalent of 911 truthers or Obama birthers.
They can't handle the reality of losing the election, and they're grasping at any possibility of catching anybody in the Trump administration on a technicality.
This is the popular meme among the right. By the way, it's complete nonsense. You guys and your new leader are the only ones still litigating the election.
Believe it or not, we're concerned that some in our government may actually be compromised by Russia.
Well in that case we're concerned that so many people are mentally deranged or too gullible to understand that the DNC is just playing a game and y'all are following along.
Careful.
And sorry, the DNC doesn't have a thing to do with this.

They didn't necessarily have to shift to Trump. And if you don't think the Podesta stuff turned some Hillary voters into Johnson or Stein voters, you're delusional. Now, was it enough to swing the election alone? Who knows, but it certainly played a role. I put the role more in the camp of swaying those who felt like the DNC was in cahoots to smear Sanders more than painting H as not a good candidate.
