Jeff Sessions spoke twice last year with Russia’s ambassador to the United States, Justice Department officials said, encounters he did not disclose when asked about possible contacts between members of President Trump’s campaign and representatives of Moscow during Sessions’s confirmation hearing to become attorney general.
- are there ever circumstances when it's okay to talk to the russian ambassador? I imagine someone talks to him, occasionallyGnash
- Sessions lied under oath.
So there's that.Ramanisky2 - I guess that's not encouragedGnash
- Gnash - Logan Act - "unauthorized citizens who negotiate with foreign governments having a dispute with the United States"fadein11
- Why else would anyone want/need to talk to the Russian ambassador?fadein11
- i'm not sure. I'm just assuming that they must have legit meetings every now an then with americansGnash
- it's not like they're isisGnash
- If relations were normal possibly but they are not.fadein11
- If there was a legit meeting happening it would never have been with Jeff fucking Sessions, it wouldn't have been secret and they wouldn't have lied.monospaced
- so you believe they were meeting about rigging the election?Gnash
- That's not the point - he broke a law and lied under oath - if that doesn't lead to resignation what a shit system you have.fadein11
- i thought that was the whole point. otherwise it wouldn't matter who he met withGnash
- He lied under oath - said he had no contact with Russia during the election. And he potentially broke a law in doing so. If he was rigging the election then offadein11
- course he's gotta go lolfadein11
- It might not have even been about rigging but about deals in place in the event of trump presidency aka rosneft $$$dorkKn1ght
