Justice Department defies court-ordered deadline to release Jeff Sessions' contacts with Russians
____ On June 12, a judge had ordered the agency to provide the information within 30 days, a deadline which passed on Wednesday.
A recently-launched ethics watchdog group called American Oversight filed a Freedom of Information Act request in March for sections of the Standard Form 86 relating to Sessions' contacts "with any official of the Russian government."
The group then filed a lawsuit in April after it said the government didn't provide the documents.
"Jeff Sessions is our nation's top law enforcement officer, and it is shocking one of his first acts after being named Attorney General was to mislead his own agency about a matter of national security," the group's executive director, Austin Evers, said in a statement.
He continued: "The court gave DOJ thirty days to produce Attorney General Sessions's security clearance form, DOJ has already confirmed its contents to the press and Sessions has testified about it to Congress, so there is no good reason to withhold this document from the public."

(16,254 posts)Sessions had said he wouldn't answer any questions from Democrats? He would answer questions only from Republicans. I didn't catch his name.
As head of the DOJ, I should think that would not be allowed. That little pipsqueak needs to be taken behind the woodshed and taught a lesson on who is in-charge...and, it ain't him. He lies with that stupid grin on his face and has learned (over the years from childhood) how to look you straight in the eyes while he's lying...which is often.
The sooner he is removed from office, the sooner this country can start to heal. Justice is the first step. With him in office, we'll never get rid of Trump and his tribe.

Lyin' #Sessions now disobeying court order to disclose his contacts with Russians. THIS IS NOT OKAY. It also shows CONSCIOUSNESS OF GUILT.
