Amanda Carpenter (R) on CNN just demolished Sessions. Said his two top staffers KNEW the meetings

took place, and that they all simply "forgot" about it is impossible. She said they were present at Sessions appearance before the senate, and that they should have notified him then at that moment that the meetings had taken place. Also, he had PLENTY OF TIME TO AMEND HIS TESTIMONY. He did nothing until the story came out.

Keep in mind that Carpenter used to work for Ted Cruz so she is not a democrat or sympathetic to any democratic causes. She demolished the Sessions network of lies, saying that there is NO WAY that Sessions can not "remember" the meeting.

Stephen Miller (born August 23, 1985) is a senior advisor to President Donald Trump. Prior to his current appointment, he was the communications director for then-Alabama senator, Attorney General Jeff Sessions. He also served as a press secretary to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann and Congressman John Shadegg.

The same Stephen Miller - along with Bannon, was involved in the creation of Executive Order 13769, which results in restricted U.S. travel and immigration by individuals from seven countries, suspends the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) for 120 days, and indefinitely suspends entry of Syrians to the United States.

and then this - we have a judiciary that has taken far too much power and become, in many cases, a supreme branch of government... Our opponents, the media and the whole world will soon see as we begin to take further actions, that the powers of the president to protect our country are very substantial and will not be question

Oh my....as George T would say...

Just because Attorney General Sessions could be blackmailed by our good friends the Russians is no reason for continuing this partisan witch hunt. Isolated incident. Hardly anyone else in President Trump's administration is similarly compromised by entanglements with Russian spy recruiters, mobsters, and bag-men.

And when pressure is applied, someone who knows something will always crack.

There's no way they can keep a story about undermining democracy under wraps.

Attorneys obsess over words. Hell they obsess over commas. And they definitely are extremely conscious of what they say. He remembers, he lied, he chose to lie and he knows he lied.

Nope, no meetings. Then oh, yeah, there was a meeting. No, I don't remember what was discussed. Next it is, oh, yeah we definitely didn't discuss that.

When will he turn state's evidence?

One doesn't simply remember all the legal precedents of landmark cases but not meeting a Russian ambassador/spy during a time when media covered Russian influence in the election.

He's lying. He needs the Judiciary Comte to call him back to determine intent.

Two things show intent:

Sessions knew exactly why the other members of his committee don't meet ambassadors, and he knew that when he met the known spy was an inappropriate time fail the test of the "appearance" of ethical behavior.
