Attorney General Jeff Sessions told the House Judiciary Committee under oath in November that he “pushed back” on a 2016 proposal from George Papadopoulos, then a foreign policy adviser on the Trump campaign, that members of the campaign meet with Russians.

According to three unnamed meeting attendees who spoke to Reuters, however, that sworn statement was inaccurate.

The sources — whom Reuters described as “[t]hree people who attended the March campaign meeting” and subsequently “gave their version of events to FBI agents or congressional investigators probing Russian interference in the 2016 election” — said, in Reuters’ words, that “Sessions had expressed no objections to Papadopoulos’ idea.”

One unnamed source recalled Sessions’ response to Papadopoulos‘ proposal as “something to the effect of ‘okay, interesting,'” Reuters said, while another said Sessions’ response “was almost like, ‘Well, thank you and let’s move on to the next person.'” The third source had a similar account, Reuters said.

1. From the pic and reports of whos sat w Mueller, we should know who the three are?

2. And this already proven liar is still the Attorney General. And in a way that's good and so good...

because Al Franken proved he lied so he had to recuse himself from the collusion investigation and thus can't fire Mueller but he still gets to impose his racist, regressive views on voter suppression, sancturary cities and marijuana decisions.

That hole repug party needs to be expunged from the Earth.
