"Franken wants Sessions to answer two demands by Friday..."
Jeff Sessions Didn’t Tell Al Franken The Truth. Now Franken Has Some New Questions.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/jeff-sessions-al-franken-questions_us_58b8bd27e4b0b998941653c0?ut7ioonyfixuma38fr&
In a letter Franken sent to Sessions Thursday, Franken said he found if hard to believe the Russian efforts in the election did not come up in Sessions’ conversations.
“In July 2016, more than four months after endorsing then-candidate Trump, you delivered remarks during the Republican National Convention at an event hosted by the Heritage Foundation. Following your speech, you were approached by a small group of ambassadors, including Ambassador Kislyak,” Franken wrote. “The ambassador later pulled you aside and engaged you in private conversation. The notion that this conversation, which took place during your party’s nominating convention, would not have touched upon issues related to the campaign strains credulity.”

Franken wants Sessions to answer two demands by Friday:
1. In the seven weeks following your confirmation hearing, why did you fail to clarify that you had indeed communicated on more than one occasion with the Russian Ambassador during the 2016 presidential campaign until the Washington Post exposed those interactions?
2. Describe in detail any and all communications between yourself and Russian officials and their associates during the presidential campaign of 2016, including but not limited to in-person conversations, phone calls, meetings, and electronic communications. Also include any such communications between members of your staff, including your Senate staff and any staff that assisted you during the campaign, and Russian officials and their associates.

(which thinks they know stuff, when they don't know shit.)
So if we extrapolate that, does that mean that the Koch Brothers are funding treason and domestic terrorism?
