WP: Sessions Met with Russia Twice Last Year, Didn't Disclose During Confirmation

Good point. WP, NYT, and WSJ all had these stories ready to go tonight.

I'm not sure they had the stories ready per se. The leakers were ready to go today after that speech, that much is sure. If the leakers worked together so they could act as multiple sources and leak to multiple papers and then told those papers that they gave the same information to their competitors, then they can be assured that the story will run almost immediately.

This gif perfectly encapsulates the past year or two of Trump related news.
 
Kislyak seems pretty terrible at his job if his efforts to compromise two of Trump's highest-level cabinet figures have been exposed in just two months.

Me? I'm betting his efforts were to destabilize Trump's campaign. If everyone knew he had such a reputation, any contact with him would be severely suspicious even if the conversation was innocuous.

I mean, I kinda hope Sessions gets put under, but I highly doubt Putin expected to gain any thing other than America's turmoil.

Basically, Trump's a dipshit for wanting to trust the guy for any reason.
 
It's so fucking funny though.

Trump delayed signing the new travel ban so he could literally bask in all the praise the media was giving him for his speech last night.

Then this story drops. You know what's going to be the talk of the town tomorrow. and it's going to piss him off.
 
Print media doing actual work while TV media sits around jerking themselves off to their ratings.

Thank goodness.

Broadcast media has to strategize how to present it first I think.

You're assuming he didn't want to be caught. Russia wants chaos and for American confidence in the government to collapse.

Russia doesn't want to be caught red-handed is such a way that Trump and his cronies are swept out of office only to be replaced by people hellbent on punishing Russia.

They probably should have picked smarter partners in crime.
 
Yoooo I got this wonderful feeling Trumps Tax returns will be the coup de grâce a year out from now. Its a separate issue to this, although linked but man. It feels like this is where we're going, upstream. All the smoke will become so stiffling that the GOP wont be able to knock down motions to get his tax history out there.
 
Russia was fine with it being all 'wink wink, nudge nudge' about it.

They did not want to get caught at all. Being caught means those sanctions they have are probably not going anywhere.
 
This organization can't go ONE day without fucking up somehow. They're truly an embarrassment in all levels.

But it's all okay because Trump acted all "presidential" last night!
 
Democrats need to frame this as "Sessions was meeting Russian Spy Recruiter" not ambassador.

Also I know Pelosi got a ton of shit from progressives when her minority leader election came up but she's been consistent about not putting a layer of bullshit on her statements. She called Bannon a white supremacist and is now calling for Session's resignation. Full stop.

Sure but the humiliation this will borne will be just as worthwhile.

An American(Trump) turned spy for Russia, together captured the Whitehouse.

An almost successful decapitation of American influence over Russian affairs with no blood spilt.

And if it doesn't work out the humiliation and prestige is just fine for them too.

It will probably show the handsome donations from the Russians. I wonder if any IRS employees know how deep this mess goes?
