of him during the hearings he had that "donchy'all be lookin' behin' thugh divan 'cuz ah took a dump back 'ere last year" look on his guilty face.

And now I see why Sen. Franken was leaning on him. What he got was a bald faced lie that is prosecutable. (I don't think that's a real word) Someone is going to do something. here are far too many people who don't want this coup to succeed. I have my speculations but I'm not willing to share at this point.

Talking to the ambassador can be explained away with the willing press. They must KNOW the exact communications, otherwise they wouldn't be going all in. I say this based upon Pelosi keeping the powder dry at the end of the Bush admin.

My guess, someone in intelligence leaked the conversations directly to them.

His Attorney General lied under oath: did not tell the whole truth; did not reveal a pertinent fact.

Why?

Because he is covering up. He could have easily said, "I met with the Soviet Ambassador but we didn't discuss the campaign". That's what he is saying NOW.

Why didn't he say that before?

Because there is more to it than that. There is something that he needs to hide about those meetings.

Has Sessions ever met the Ambassador before meeting twice? (Similar kind of meeting, not just a chance encounter)

He knows he'd lose that battle and will have to resign. Not that things would improve that much, drumpf will just find another treasonous R who will sell his soul to the twin devils Putin and drumpf. Sessions was especially nasty, though, and now is outted as someone who's comfortable lying under oath. He should be in jail, not heading the judiciary. Just shows the utter contempt drumpf has for judiciary and our laws that he's not spoken out and fired the jerk. hH doesn't give a fuck about criminality, it's what he does all the time.

The First Domino Falls As Nancy Pelosi Calls For Jeff Sessions to Resign


http://www.politicususa.com/2017/03/01/domino-falls-nancy-pelosi-calls-jeff-sessions-resign.html

By Sarah Jones on Wed, Mar 1st, 2017 at 11:16 pm

.......................


Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi was, as usual, the first to call it. Pelosi called for Sessions to resign, saying he is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country.

After the stunning news that Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions lied under oath about his contact with Russian officials while he was a member of the Trump transition team, MoveOn called his resignation.

But the first domino really fell when former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi called for Sessions to resign. “Jeff Sessions lied under oath during his confirmation hearing before the Senate. Under penalty of perjury, he told the Senate Judiciary Committee, ‘I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.’ We now know that statement is false,” Pelosi wrote in her statement.

“Attorney General Sessions has never had the credibility to oversee the FBI investigation of senior Trump officials’ ties to the Russians. That is why Democrats have consistently called for Sessions to recuse himself from any oversight of the investigation.

“Now, after lying under oath to Congress about his own communications with the Russians, the Attorney General must resign,” the top Democrat demanded. “Sessions is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country and must resign. There must be an independent, bipartisan, outside commission to investigate the Trump political, personal and financial connections to the Russians.”...................................
