Whoa.

"I do not recall"

 

[Geist-]

Smoking gun.

 

[Fergie]

God I hope this little rat elf quits.

 

[HeartlessNobody213]

So unfair to the president.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

Tick tock Mr Sessions tick tock.

 

[Vestal]

This is a fucking megaton.

 

[PopeReal]

Ooops.

 

[Kusagari]

Well Sessions is done.

 

[theWB27]

He's done nothing but lie.

Ambassador Sergey Kislyak's accounts of two conversations with Sessions — then a top foreign policy adviser to Republican candidate Donald Trump — were intercepted by U.S. spy agencies, which monitor the communications of senior Russian officials both in the United States and in Russia.
One U.S. official said that Sessions — who testified that he has no recollection of the April encounter — has provided ”misleading" statements that are ”contradicted by other evidence." A former official said that the intelligence indicates that Sessions and Kislyak had ”substantive" discussions on matters including Trump's positions on Russia-related issues and prospects for U.S.-Russia relations in a Trump administration.

He's toast.

 

[the_firewithin]

Funny this comes out the day after he says he's staying put

 

[HvySky]

This is a fucking megaton.

Feels like everything over the past week qualifies as a megaton.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Fuck you, elf.

Russia’s ambassador to Washington told his superiors in Moscow that he discussed campaign-related matters, including policy issues important to Moscow, with Jeff Sessions during the 2016 presidential race, contrary to public assertions by the embattled attorney general, according to current and former U.S. officials.

Ambassador Sergey Kislyak’s accounts of two conversations with Sessions — then a top foreign policy adviser to Republican candidate Donald Trump — were intercepted by U.S. spy agencies, which monitor the communications of senior Russian officials both in the United States and in Russia. Sessions initially failed to disclose his contacts with Kislyak and then said that the meetings were not about the Trump campaign.

One U.S. official said that Sessions — who testified that he has no recollection of the April encounter — has provided “misleading” statements that are “contradicted by other evidence.” A former official said that the intelligence indicates that Sessions and Kislyak had “substantive” discussions on matters including Trump’s positions on Russia-related issues and prospects for U.S.-Russia relations in a Trump administration.

I think this is what Comey was referring to during his testimony when he mentioned there were reasons that Sessions would have to recuse.

 

[Locke562]

We're just going to keep seeing reports like this, aren't we?


I can't wait.

 

[shadow_shogun]

Nothing better than Friday evening fukkery.

[RPGCrazied]

After he recused himself? Uh, that's a problem.

 

[epmode]

I assume that "intercepted" means that we have actual audio of these discussions between Kislyak and other Russians.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

"I do not recall"

Oh you mean THAT Russian ambassador.

I totally forgot about him.

He's toast.

Over/under on an official resignation before Monday at midnight?

I assume that "intercepted" means that we have actual audio of these discussions between Kislyak and other Russians.

I believe that to be a very safe assumption.

 

[PopeReal]

Remember how mad Sessions got at Wyden during the hearings???

LOL what a fucking liar.

 

[Gnome Scat]

Go get him Mueller!

 

[Chococat]

I was just saying I was waiting for a 7pm drop. Here it is. Off to read.

 

[Evil Monkey DTT]

And nothing will come of it

except for me.

Dang nabit!

Before.

If you have Amazon Prime you can get six months of WaPo for free and then a reduced subscription after that. I think it's worth it to support the work they've been doing.

 

[Balphon]

All aboard the perjury express.

Holy shit. This is big.

 

[reKon]

I DON'T RECALL

 

[Morts]

Seems like Sessions can just claim the ambassador was lying/exaggerating the extent of his conversations.

 

[kirblar]

It's been clear throughout this that our IC has had wiretaps on Kislyak for eons. He's a spymaster.

 

[Linkura]

Sessions:

 

[JettDash]

These people are bad at crime.

 

[Melkezadek]

This motherfucker right here.

 

[Dead Prince]

Smoking gun.

Let's hear from Trump first

Yeah, I'm not surprised. We don't often hear about the contents of the conversations though.

And no one but his followers should believe it. He hasn't been truthful about anything at all.

 

[iavi]

YES

Gtfo

 

[GrizzleBoy]

Good!

Now twist the handle and pull the knife back out.

 

[sunshine and gasoline]

Can't wait until the day these guys are behind bars.

I believe, if you have a .gov or .edu email, you could also get six months free.
