I would like to know how many times Sessions met privately with the Russian ambassador...

...in 2015, and 2014, and 2013, and so on.

If these meetings were only as a function of his being a member of the Armed Services Committee, then surely he has met with this gentleman a couple of times in each prior year.

Certainly we would not expect to find any increase in contact in the prior election year, when he was a member of the Trump campaign.

1. Excellent question

In fact, as campaign employee we might expect the frequency of meetings to actually be less

2. Hmmmm....oddly enough no one else on the

committee met with the Russian ambassador.

3. Claire MacCaskill did.

4. Not privately.

Which is a important distinction.

5. Ah gotcha...good point!

6. I wonder how many other times senators met with Mr. Kislyak privately.

I'd like to see a list with the reasons for the meetings.

Then I'd like to see the notes from Sessions meting and compare the reasons.

[Barack_America]

7. Exactly.

That is the important distinction.
