Seth has a long tweet page of how the Russia element was involved and how the primary characters all met together at teh Mayflower just before the Foreign Policy Trump gave to assure Russians of intent to lift sanctions.
and that Sessions was there...and so was Kislyak.

(60,010 posts)and at least 2 Repub. are willing to keep open mind.
Plus, even Fox is signaling it is backing off Trump
He's lost support of Wall Street Journal, they had 2 opt eds this week against him.
He has made too many enemies, internally and in the world.
Olbermann this week talked about the phrase "He will die in prison" and why that is a serious threat.
give this a listen if you care to, it made me pretty happy.

(804 posts)both on DU and dailykos that Abramson is not exactly credible. I think it might be wise for us to wait and see if this has much veracity.

(11,909 posts)I guess I've been reading too much Trump news lately.
Had to chuckle to myself when I corrected it to Secretary of State, and realized with Sessions in the seat, either definition works.

(54,330 posts)I think Sessions still manages to worm his way out of this one, unless media attention gets too intense. I think it would take a combination of one major network, the NYT and Rachel Maddow, along with one major Fox personality before this has a chance of happening.
But wouldn't it be SOOOO appropriate?
If Sessions survives, we DO have the consolation prize that this hangs over his head until the day he really IS gone.

(60,010 posts)from being a Senator. I believe he thinks he is safe because of Repub. majorities.
but..he was in on the Russia plotting as far back as last April, and that will come out.
