StrangeSox Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 QUOTE (bmags @ Mar 2, 2017 -> 03:31 PM) He remembers it all so vividly now. I mean, he was even fighting for Ukraine and it caused great tension! Notice he has not recused himself from any investigation into flynn lying. He was also wishy washy on whether he's met with anyone besides the ambassador ("I do not recall") and he only said he'd recuse himself from Trump campaign investigations, not Trump administration investigations. Our new AG's first press conference was to deny charges of perjury and conspiring with foreign spies. Earlier in the day, both the White House press secretary and the President himself said they saw no reason for Sessions to recuse himself, and only a few hours later we're getting a (partial) recusal. Truly this administration is a well-oiled machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 That press conference was so full of bulls*** and contradictions I don't even know where to start. Well, maybe I do. The sky is blue here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 So is there going to be any other fallout from him lying under oath? I mean, Bill Clinton was impeached for doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeSox Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Two other Trump campaign members met with the Russian ambassador during the RNC. https://t.co/1Dnlrifttq The only change the Trump campaign demanded to the platform was softening language on Russia.

caulfield12 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Another national security adviser to the Trump campaign, J.D. Gordon, also disclosed Thursday that he had met with Kislyak, this time during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in July. That meeting was first reported by USA Today. Gordon told CNN that along with national security advisers Carter Page and Walid Phares, Gordon stressed to the Russian envoy that he would like to improve relations with Russia. Gordon added that at no time did any inappropriate chatter come up about colluding with the Russians to aid the Trump campaign. "This is not any different than anything I said publicly and on panels," Gordon said. Gordon had advocated for language in the GOP platform that the Ukrainians not be armed in their battle against pro-Russian separatists, an effort was ultimately successful. But Gordon says he was simply advocating what Trump himself had expressed -- that he did not wish to see major war break out over the situation in Ukraine. cnn.com So you've also got one of Trump's three key advisors, Jared Kushner, admitting to meeting Kislyak http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/02/politics/rus...ions/index.html Kislyak is NOT a spy, Russia contends (hahaha!!!)

Except if that happens you're still left with Pence or Ryan as president...depending on your views towards those two, it could be even worse in terms of partisanship, because Trump at least can float from side to side politically and try to pick off the Democrats and might actually be able to FORGE a compromise on immigration. Of course, that might all be just "reasonable-sounding talk" from the administration and a red herring to distract from a more nefarious reality.

caulfield12 Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 (edited) "Jeff Sessions is an honest man. He did not say anything wrong. He could have stated his response more accurately, but it was clearly not intentional," Trump said. "This whole narrative is a way of saving face for Democrats losing an election that everyone thought they were supposed to win. The Democrats are overplaying their hand. They lost the election and now, they have lost their grip on reality. The real story is all of the illegal leaks of classified and other information. It is a total witch hunt!" On Twitter, Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren warned that Sessions should never have been confirmed at all, but now there is reason to remove him. "Now Jeff Sessions is AG -- the final say on the law enforcement investigation into ties between the Trump campaign & Russia? What a farce. This is not normal," she tweeted. "This is not fake news. This is a very real & serious threat to the national security of the United States." So much for the unifying tone TUES night. Out the window already. Both sides firmly entrenched yet again. http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/02/politics/dem...call/index.html Edited March 3, 2017 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
