****BREAKING NOW**** Sources contradict Sessions' testimony he opposed Russia outreach

[DemocratSinceBirth]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ testimony that he opposed a proposal for President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign team to meet with Russians has been contradicted by three people who told Reuters they have spoken about the matter to investigators with Special Counsel Robert Mueller or congressional committees.

Sessions testified before Congress in November 2017 that he “pushed back” against the proposal made by former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos at a March 31, 2016 campaign meeting. Then a senator from Alabama, Sessions chaired the meeting as head of the Trump campaign’s foreign policy team.

“Yes, I pushed back,” Sessions told the House Judiciary Committee on Nov. 14, when asked whether he shut down Papadopoulos’ proposed outreach to Russia. Sessions has since also been interviewed by Mueller.

Three people who attended the March campaign meeting told Reuters they gave their version of events to FBI agents or congressional investigators probing Russian interference in the 2016 election. Although the accounts they provided to Reuters differed in certain respects, all threes, who declined to be identified, said Sessions had expressed no objections to Papadopoulos’ idea.

1. Sounds like a leak so Con can fire him for dishonesty

[C_U_L8R]

5. That was my hunch too

The timing is too convenient

[Glimmer of Hope]

7. Yep. Why now?

[bitterross]

14. So he can replace Sessions with someone who will fire Mueller

If I understand the premise: 45 fires Sessions for lying. 45 Hires a new AG who doesn't recuse and then takes the investigation from Rosenstien and fires Mueller.

6. " Trump has said that he does not remember much of what happened at the very unimportant campaign

LIARS!


...According to court documents released after his guilty plea, Papadopoulos said at the campaign meeting that he had connections who could help arrange a meeting between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Papadopoulos continued to pursue Russian contacts after the March 2016 meeting and communicated with some campaign officials about his efforts, according to the court documents.

Trump has said that he does not remember much of what happened at the “very unimportant” campaign meeting. Trump has said he did not meet Putin before becoming president.

Moscow has denied meddling in the election and Trump has denied his campaign colluded with Russia.

18. At the most, Sessions "pushed back" his chair, put his feet up on the desk, and drawled,...

"Now, we gots to be sure that there's somethin' in this for Ole Jeff." At which point, he gave Papadopoulos his Cayman bank account number ready for Russian deposits.

19. I listened over and again to O'Suzanna

I had tears.

My great-great-great-grandfather's brother was sleeping at Cedar Creek.
The war was over finally ... he could sleep. Then came Sessions with
a banjo on his knee and ambushed and killed this great great uncle.


That's the way Confederates fight. They then cry to their girlfriends.
