You have to laugh at the Democrats and their feigned and calculated outrage over a senator from the Armed Services Committee meeting with the ambassador of Russia; of course that senator is AG Sessions but seriously, this is their big freakout.

Forget that Sessions did not meet with the ambassador regarding Trump’s campaign (that was what he was asked folks), but since he merely MET with him, Democrats want him to resign.

Immediately.

So does that mean these 30 Democrats should resign as well?

Up to 30 Senate Democrats (!) met with Russian diplomats in 2015 to help grease the skids for Obama's Iran deal. http://foreignpolicy.com/2015/08/06/p51-nations-press-senate-democrats-to-support-iran-deal/ …

I honestly admit I have no clue WTF is going on with all any of this Russiagate crap. But I know the phrase is "part and parcel." Anyway I'm confused. I refer to Urethra Franklin:

Damn you auto correct. Im beginning to worry your paying so much attention to me typing youre waiving the white flag on the content! hahahaha

I think this Russian stuff is a smoke screen brother. I think Trump and Co are going to drop the hammer down on these cats.

At his Thursday news conference, Sessions maintained that he had spoken to the ambassador as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, not as a surrogate for the Trump campaign. When asked what they discussed, Sessions admitted terrorism and Ukraine came up but suggested the discussion wasn’t political in nature. “I don’t recall any specific political discussions,” Sessions said, though he said envoys “are pretty gossipy.”



A review of the timeline surrounding Sessions’ meeting with Kislyak, however, reveals that it came during a significant moment for U.S.-Russia relations. Indeed, Trump and his surrogates were offering high praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s regime while the Obama administration was airing its complaints with Russia over Syria, Putin’s incursion into Crimea and cyber-hacking targeting campaign officials. If those topics did not come up during the Sessions-Kislyak meeting, it would be hard to fathom why not.



Here are the key dates surrounding the Sept. 8 meeting.



Sept. 1 ― President Barack Obama’s Treasury Department announces new sanctions against Russia. John Smith, the acting director of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control, says the new penalties are related to Putin’s meddling in Ukraine.



Sept. 3-5 ― Obama and Putin attend the G-20 summit in Hangzhou, China. Obama’s trip begins with an awkward squabble between Chinese and U.S. officials on the airport tarmac over which set of stairs the president and his delegation would use to disembark from Air Force One. Putin is reportedly a popular figure at the summit. Trump used the perceived snub on the campaign trail to paint Obama as a weak leader who doesn’t command respect.



Sept. 5 ― Obama and Putin have a tense, lengthy discussion at the G-20 summit in China about a potential cease-fire in Syria. The huddle comes less than a week after the implementation of the new sanctions against Russia. Putin publicly calls on Obama to lift the penalties. Obama later says the two men directly discussed, seemingly for the first time, reports of Russian hacking targeting Democratic Party officials. Obama says that he told Putin to “cut it out.”



Sept. 7 ― Defense Secretary Ash Carter accuses Russia of sowing seeds of global instability and questions if Moscow is genuinely interested in finding an agreement on a cease-fire in Syria.



Sept. 7 ― Trump praises Putin on national TV. “[Putin] has very strong control over a country,” he says during NBC’s commander-in-chief forum with rival Hillary Clinton in New York. “Now, it’s a very different system, and I don’t happen to like that system. But certainly in that system he’s been a leader far more than our president has been a leader.”


Sept. 8. ― Sessions and Kislyak meet privately in his Senate office.



Sept. 8 ― Pence agrees with Trump’s assessment of Putin’s strength as a leader. “I think it’s inarguable that Vladimir Putin has been a stronger leader in his country than Barack Obama has been in this country,” he tells CNN. “And that’s going to change the day that Donald Trump becomes president.”



Sept. 8 ― Trump goes on the Kremlin-backed Russia Today network, where he tells host Larry King that it was “probably unlikely” Russia was trying to interfere in the election. Democrats “are putting that out,” Trump claims.



Sept. 9 ― Secretary of State John F. Kerry meets with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Geneva. They reach an agreement on a renewal of a cease-fire in Syria.

HOT-MIC HEAT : RUSSIA THE NO 1 ENEMY ?

If Democrats Aren’t Careful, Russia Could Become Their Benghazi

Democrats who want to explore alleged ties between Trump and the Putin regime should be careful: this could become their own Benghazi obsession.

any questions? oh never mind, they can't be reached

So you think democrat politicians have a monopoly on being scumbags? You guys...you're just messin with me

Ha.......now that's a good one!

 

[mplastered]

I agree with demanding FACTS and the TRUTH. This administration and its reps have serious problems with the truth on a daily basis. I look forward to seeing what an investigation uncovers.

and if you're tired of left wing hate, I assume you are also tired of the bullshit obstruction, the hate, and the lies on BOTH sides...

Keep going, I'm listening.......

Do as I say, not as I do.

Thankfully Sessions didn't commit perjury.

Bill Clinton, however, did.

This is one of the most idiotic left wing articles you've ever posted.

More corruption from the Orangutan-in-Chief in his first 1.5 months than previous 7 administrations combined.

Just goes to show the stupidity of American voters when they elected a bunch of traitors who are conspiring with the enemy to undermine the Democracy and the Constitution of the US.
