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

From the UK here so don't really understand the US system. How is this guy not getting done for perjury?

And why on earth aren't the democrats really going for the jugular after all this sleaze keeps coming out?
Democrats are largely a bunch of incompetent cowards, and even if they weren't, they hold next to zero power (they hold no branches of the federal government and have less power than they've had at all levels in at least 100 years).

Republicans, who hold all the power, are literally evil fucks who are cool with treason as long as they get to arrest more black people, deport Mexicans, and cut rich people's taxes. They literally don't give a fuck about the country, only the super rich living in it. There's also about 35% of the population that would support Trump and believe anything he says, even in the face of audio/video evidence to the contrary. That 35% makes up 70+% of reliable Republican voters and they're terrified of pissing them off if they move against Trump.

So I honestly don't think it matters what comes out, even if it were video of Trump raping a child. Nothing will happen to Trump. Best we can hope for are some of his worst underlings, like Sessions, being forced out.
 
Sessions removed the guidance on reduced use of private prisons. If we had a paper trail, maybe there.

I don't know... That seems more clearly tied to the larger Republican push toward lowering voter turnout through various means of disenfranchisement and voter suppression.
 
Not even 12 hours on this shit and hes already caved on recusing himself. He's definitely not lasting until Monday in this administration.

And losing Sessions would be such a huge blow to Trump's overall agenda.

The best thing we can hope for is that shit like this keeps happening and distracting them from enacting their bullshit plans.
 
This is dangerous times because when a predator is backed into a corner you never know what might happen. Trump will possibly become much more agressive if his reign is on the line. He might start a war just to shift his citizens' attention.

Every scandal and every resignation makes Trump weaker and weaker. The big money interests in this country (the ones who don't care either way about racism and oppression and just want to maximize profits) are already nervous about him because unpredictability equals volatile financial markets. Eventually it will get to a point where the big money interests push the button and force the Republicans in Congress to turn on him.

It took a year and a half for Watergate to finally bring down Nixon, and things are already moving at a faster pace than that. He's going down.
 
Most likely yes.

Anything can happen, but it would be political suicide for many Republicans to not oppose Sessions.

Once again, Trump selects only the finest.

Fuck Sessions though. I hope the stress of this wreaks permanently bodily harm on his bitter, racist ass.

This is all on him, he picked wrong, he didn't vet them strict enough (har har). That, or he knew exactly who he picked and he's messed up too. I wouldn't doubt the latter.
 
Ted Cruz on Morning Joe just now:

'This is a whole lot of political theater... out of context... nothing-burger... everyone is getting worked up to beat up the AG and the President... Sessions is a man of integrity and candor... nothing-burger... no there there... no credible allegation... he wasn't thinking about his role as a Senator...'
 
With Rubio and Chaffetz being so quick to jump on this, might we be witnessing the beginnings of Republican establishment making a move on Trump?
 
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III was named after not one, but two confederate generals, so it should be no surprise to anyone that he'd be a treasonous piece of shit.

Fucking sniveling shitlord.
 
Man Fox and Friends is absolutely pissing me off this morning(and thats as someone who was basically raised watching Fox news),
Every damn time this story is brought up
"Why is this only coming out after President Trump's amazing speech"
Every single time, the hosts are falling over each other to be the one that adds that as an asterisk.

Cruz: Caught between his hatred of Trump, his M fetish, and his love of Sessions.
 
Who's next to be exposed as a Russian stooge? Surely there are more hidden ticking time bombs laid by Obama before he left office. And at what point will the republican pigfuckers turn against Trump? When he gets down to < 30% public approval?

"amazing speech" LOL
translation: "after Trump was able to keep from soiling himself and slobbering all over the podium"
 
In just the last 2 hours this thing exploded. The number of high ranking GOP members talking about a special investigator has never been this high.
 
No, No, it's okay. He didn't talk about the election during those meetings, so it's fine, that's why he didn't have to mention them during his confirmation. See? Problem solved. No fire here.

Not only is this kind of cynicism unhealthy and counter-productive, it's a bizarre statement to make given that Trump's national security adviser was forced to resign over lying about Russian communications just 2-3 weeks ago.

What's with this post
 
Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III was named after not one, but two confederate generals, so it should be no surprise to anyone that he'd be a treasonous piece of shit.

While I don't hold for any kind of hope that he's out, I'm so so happy that this is happening to this racist shitstain

I assume you mean recuse right?

Did Rubot seriously call for him to resign?

I listened to that on the way to work and he didn't say he should resign. He didn't say anything at all, really. Said he will be talking to him in the next couple of days, and he's concerned about the nature of the second discussion.

That sounds way more like the wet fish Rubio is. Thanks.
 
It's kinda f'd up that my hope from this is that Sessions resigns and we get Christie as AG.

Christie is a giant sack of shit, but he's probably the best AG I could see Trump agreeing to, though I did read Trump didn't like the Bridgegate cloud hanging over him.

Hahahah, Bridgegate is like a speeding ticket compared to this Russia shit.

I guess Easy D messed up. Sad!

No way Christie goes to work for Trump in any capacity at this point.

Tedward's apporoval rating is still underwater from the election, no surprise he is EXTRA up the orange blob's ass to win back the base.
