The Facts about Attorney General Jeff Sessions

CNN BREAKING NEWS: Russian Ambassador said to have spoken to Russia!

Many members of Congress and the Senate have met with Russian diplomats as part of their job and the two incidents in question, are just that, Sessions doing his job as a Senator. Suddenly, democrats and those in the establishment right such as Lindsey Graham and John McCain are all shocked he met with the Russian Ambassador during his time as a Senator as part of the Armed Services Committee. Why is this a shocker? What the heck is going on with Capital Hill these days to cause this kind of a faux outrage?

We should first look at the context as to what everyone is referring to. In this Washington Post article, it gives a good timeline for what Sessions said about Russia and when. I know, I could easily link to Fox News or Breitbart but why give any skeptics a chance to dismiss it as alternative facts?

This is what Franken had asked Sessions in his confirmation hearing. “CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week, that included information that “Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.” These documents also allegedly say “there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.” Again, I’m telling you this as it’s coming out, so, you know.”

Franken further states: “But if it’s true, it’s obviously extremely serious, and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?”

Sessions then replies with: “ Senator Franken, I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it.”

When we look at that, we have to look at the context since that is at the heart of all of this. In this part: “if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign…” you will note it is specifically talking with regards to the Trump campaign. Sessions, had no contact with any Russian officials as part of the Trump campaign and his statement reflects accurately on that.

Further in that article, it mentions part of the written statement with regards to this kind of questioning. “Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after Election Day?” Sessions responds with a “no.” Again, the context is about the 2016 election. Context is key here and what people need to focus on. Without it, nothing else really matters. Seeing as how Sessions did not meet with any Russian officials with regards to his role in the campaign, the issue is moot.

But here we are, where the left and establishment are out for blood. This Tweet from the ACLU shows all you really need to know about what’s actually going on. Can you see the crocodile in the corner crying? I sure can.

Potential perjury. Yes, perjury. The ACLU claims Sessions perjured himself when he talked about Russian contact. None of the questions asked reflected on his job as a Senator but rather his role in the campaign. When I said context is key here, I meant it.

Then we have Senator Claire McCaskill actually stating she’s never met with the Russian Ambassador yet her own Tweets contradict that. She lied to the American people yet no one seems to be mentioning this.

It is almost poetic and hilarious to watch the meltdown continue.

What was that? I didn’t quite hear you there.

WOOPS!

Aw, crap, not again!

McCaskill actually ruined the entire narrative that the left was trying to push.

Then we have Chuck Schumer calling for Sessions to resign, in that “it would be better for the country” if he did so.

The general theme here is that he mislead Congress. Context is key, once again. This is a bait and switch game the left and establishment republicans are playing. They don’t want you to know the context was not in regards to him as a Senator serving on the Armed Services Committee. They want you to continue to think the context included everything, which it did not. Go back and reread this if you missed that part.

Then here we have Lindsey Graham with his BFF John McCain saying Sessions should recuse himself from this entire Russian investigation. Again, why? Sessions met with the Russian Ambassador as part of his job, not as a campaign surrogate. What is the real issue here? It is no surprise Graham and McCain and other snakes in the grass are waiting for every opportunity to try and take a chunk out of the Trump Administration. They might as well be democrats at this point. Anyone find it odd how these two are joined at the hip? What is up with that? I may actually looking into this a bit more. It is very odd for these two to always be in lockstep with each other.

Now, I personally think this is amazing. This event has shown a two key things we needed to know. We wanted to find out where the leaks were coming from. It turns out, the leaks were coming from the Justice Department. When the story broke, those in the news media stated Justice Department officials were the ones who leaked the info. Thank you for that bit of great information because before, they didn’t actually state the specific department but just Trump’s administration.

Secondly, we wanted to find more snakes in the grass. Many of these lawmakers are very familiar with politics and the legal aspect of hearings, perjury in front of Congress, etc. They know what Jeff Sessions said was not in any way refusing to mention his two meetings with the Russian Ambassador while doing his job as a Senator. We like having an even larger list of those to oppose for reelection in 2018 and 2020. Many more conservatives are in the shadows waiting for their chance. About 30% less people vote in non-general elections and if Trump fires up his base to vote out the ones hurting him, you can bet they will show up to vote.

In closing, this is just another baseless attack on the Trump Administration. Except with this, it has shown the left and the establishment right are just on a witch hunt. McCaskill is the perfect example to lead the cause here. She outright lied and got caught for it. Most people are not dumb and they see right through this. People are sick of these games and the more the establishment and left pull these games, the more people flock to defend Trump. Even the mainstream media is having a hard time with this one because Sessions didn’t actually do anything wrong when he did his job as a Senator.
