The issue is not meeting with the Russians. The issue is stating under oath to congress that you did not meet the Russians when you did.
eroso
Well... meeting Russians is an issue too if they ask what they can do to help at the elections. That's a felony.

The Russian that visited the Obama White House 22 times? okay
Obama didn't meet Russians during his campaign. That's a felony size of difference.

Nofuture123
Look at all the agenda in here.
BendOverAndIllShowYa
What is the agenda? Look at the facts and draw reasonable conclusions based on those facts?
What facts do you see?
What specifically are you referring to?
You mean that same Russian that has met with many people, both Republicans AND Democrats? Open your eyes
Catfactory
Were they campaign surrogates? Did they perjure themselves in testimony about those meetings?
Politicized technicalities is all this is, by a party on life support.
No, not when intelligence agencies say that the Russian government interfered with the election and Sessions is now in the cabinet.
Yes, that's all it is. And now Obama tapping Trump Tower communications? Sad
LOL because the President says so, with no supporting evidence offered?
And even if it were true, you think it's good that a court found PROBABLE CAUSE to wiretap Trump? You've no idea how foolish his tweet was!
MoreLikeLawlSchool
I think the best part is that nobody asked him if he talked to the Russians. He just perjured himself all on his own. Guilty conscience?
Armourhotdog
Not defending him, but he was asked once verbally and once in writing if he communicated with Russia in regards to the 2016 election.
Verbal question was if anyone from Trump campaign was in any contact with Russians during the campaign. He said no. That was a lie.
It wasn't about regards to the election, it was about meeting at all.
He was asked what he would do as the AG if he found out that anyone from the trump campaign had contacts with Russia. To which he replied,
I've never met with any Russian officials and I'm considered part of the trump campaign. He wasn't asked if he'd had contact with Russia.
He went out of his way to commit perjury. It's pretty bizarre.
He was asked once in writing. He was asked verbally how he would handle knowledge of members of Trump's campaign communicating with Russia.
To which he responded that he had not had any communication with Russia and was unable to comment.
Well ya, just wanted to make sure you knew he had been asked!
I dig it. Just pointing out the strange way he phrased his answer at the hearing is all.
Oh yes, he was treading very carefully haha
Tapndarocks
Chuck S is calling people out but in fact eats donuts with Putin haha biggest hypocrites
Did Schumer perjure himself? Was he a campaign surrogate for anybody? Is Schumer affiliated with a campaign allegedly assisted by Russia?
You guys biggest cry babies, and when you're presented with facts you guys can't handle it so you riot and pout like a four year old.
The same schumer who cried about the "Muslim ban" but supported it years ago? Ha anything the news says you guys take it and run with it ha
Do you mean his comments about a "pause" in 2015? If so, you're wildly misinformed about his positions.
Russia hacks to assist trump to win! Haha you guys are crazy! Remember who wanted the voting done properly before Hilary lost?
And then when Hilary looks into it further she's finds out that some of the votes go in favor for trump! Haha why don't we focus on America?
2/2 many Americans think cuts right to the heart of the integrity of the country and the role of foreign nations in elections.
The problem isn't that Russia caused Trump to win. In this case it's that a Senator committed perjury about an issue that 1/2
It's called probable cause...basically our whole fourth amendment is on it....you should look it up
Was there a warrant to get that information when Obama was in office?
Do you understand the elements of the crime of perjury? Your comments suggest that you don't
I mean if we're breaking laws then we gotta bring them all the table
I strongly disagree. It is a huge problem if a foreign government is able to manipulate US elections.
I said 'in this case' because the jury is still out on the scope of Russian involvement and effect. The OP is about Sessions.
If I have to tell you that this is meant to be a humorous play on Bill Clinton's "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" ...

Sessions voted to impeach Bill for lying under oath, and then he himself lied under oath when asked about contact with the Russians ...
he didnt lie. read the question and answer again.

The funny thing is, the part he lied about wasn't even an answer to the question he was asked. Sometimes less is more.
rossimus
Because the US and Russia are at odds, geopolitically. Its not about friends or enemies. Its about interests.
beergolem
You can be friends with Russia without skulking about, perjuring yourself and refusing to talk openly about it.
What a child-like question. Astonishing.
SunAnvil
Friends with Russia is not bad but it appears Kislyak and Sessions had discussions during the Trump campaign and Sessions said they didn't.
he said they didnt discuss the campaign, which is what the question was. ish.
kinslayers0
It's not, for some reason Democrats want to go to war with Russia.
Orcus424
It's like your SO being friends with someone but explicitly saying they're not when you have evidence they are friends. Why the lie?
I get that the lie is bad and don't know why he would lie but what politician doesn't lie?
chudtime
You're looking through rose colored glasses. It's the fact that sessions wasn't more forward with it and said no to a questionnaire that was
Sent to him from senator Patrick Lehay.
No I'm just playing Devils advocate. I really agree and think that criminal charges should be put fourth to people who lie to Congress
It's not ok to lie. Plus there are small lies and there are huge lies. Lying about connections to a foreign gov't falls under a huge lie.
I know, I'm not a politician. What defines a huge lie though, is it that bad to talk with another country?
It's not what happened it's the lie that is the issue. Do whatever just don't lie about it. Especially not in front of Congress.
The lying is the issue. Any time someone lies about some meeting is because they're doing something they shouldn't and they know it.
he didnt lie. the question was specific, his answer has not be contradicted.
Actually, it now has - one of the meetings was funded with campaign cash.
Also, "I did not have communications with the Russians" <- that's exactly what he said, so... he very much did lie.
maniacalmacaroni
It's not. But colluding with a foreign power who committed cyber warfare in order to influence our elections is. Also Putin is pretty evil.
Where's the proof of cyber warfare?

Thanks, I really didn't know about it
No prob. Most sources are either under or over stating things, but something's up, and this is what we know v
The hacking and leaking of documents from the DNC & DCCC by at least two state-sponsored Russian spy agencies is what I'm referring to.
There's proof that the hacking happened, and that Russia was behind it. The only thing we don't know yet was if the trump campaign knew.
Nuanra
The fact that there was a hacking at all should make the election results invalid.
Both campaigns were informed as well as the President. They all knew.
Logan Act (1 Stat. 613, 18 U.S.C. ยง 953, federal law forbids unauthorized citizens negotiating w/ foreign gov'ts having a dispute with U.S.
He wasn't an unauthorized citizen... he was a Senator!!!
it is simply not true that "all senators are authorized to speak on behalf of the USA." at the time, Sessions was a Trump campaign leader
But he was a Senator at the time, right.
He wasn't a Senator? Why the f*** would this get downvoted? He WAS a Senator. I understand he lied about it in the confirmation hearing.
bicycleracer
He was, but he was also largely involved in Trump's campaign. The question becomes whether the visits were Senate or Trump related.
Copy that.
He was not authorized, AND he lied under oath about having any contact with members of the Russian government.
Senators need authorization to speak with ambassadors from other countries? But that's common practice, no? I understand he lied.
Generally, they will meet but it's almost always in a group setting and part of a specific issue. Personal calls and meetings are suspicious
