exactly. Sessions felt the need to lie because, like Trash, he has nefarious shit to hide.

Like Trash, Sessions is way in over his head

I expect the Russky was fully informed about Pootin's cyberwar on the USA.

[hater]

Apparently the Russian ambassador met with americans while here in the US. Thats right!! How dare he meet with americans!!! Panic!!! Impeach!!! Impeach!!!!



Though now billed as a “spymaster,” Russian Ambassador Kislyak was well known as a social butterfly, meeting a wide range of Americans, including politicians, academics and activists,

Another confession here :cry apparenly this journalist met the ambassador while he spoke at UVA in front of a packed house

Close down UVA!!!!

As things clear up, we may be seeing a collapsing soufflé. And as with so many soufflés served up by the press in recent months, it emerged from the oven to oohs and ahs—this time, with me among the oohers and ahers—only to sink, first slowly, then quickly. Next, it will go into the trash, and we’ll bake another. It’s tiring. It’s boring. And above all it’s supremely damaging to the press. If you want people to believe you, then develop a reputation for believability. Might work better than just blaming your loss of credibility on Trump.

Feinstein had lunch with him (gasp!)

That leaves the question, once more, of whether Russia is a mastermind pulling Trumpian strings. It’s a crazy world, and anything’s possible. But the power of confirmation bias is immense. How many books and articles came out during the Obama years suggesting the president was secretly pushing for Sharia law (https://books.google.com/books?id=nuv6Hi03cOAC&dq=obama+muslim&source=gbs_navlinks_s), violating espionage law (https://books.google.com/books?id=vg3HAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=obama+treason&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiywcDv1bjSAhVQ0mMKHcG_Dg4Q6AEITTAJ#v=on epage&q=obama%20treason&f=false), trying to destroy Israel (http://freebeacon.com/national-security/lawmaker-obama-admin-fueling-campaign-destroy-israel/), or surrendering to Russia by whispering about post-election “flexibility” to Dmitri Medvedev (hats off to Breitbart for promoting (http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2012/03/26/obama-to-putin-ill-surrender-after-reelection/) that last claim)? Lots. If you wanted to believe Obama was a Muslim who was trying to subvert the nation from within, you could find what you needed to find.http://www.vanityfair.com/news/2017/03/the-dirty-secret-behind-the-jeff-sessions-mess

That Roger Ailes looking fat fuck is now going to be treated like someone exposed to Ebola. :lol

[Winehole23]

what I don't get is why Sessions and Trump staffers didn't just say,

"sure we talked to the Russians. we believe in diplomacy, so we had discussions with our various counterparts in other countries. Who wouldn't?"

[hater]

Whats more alarming is that they are calling a legit ambassador a "spy"

Going by that every ambassador can be called a spy. Pretty dangerous rhetoric from Killary and co

The response from Russia:
"Honestly, I have only one question: is it the rock bottom, which the Western media hit, or is there still where to dive?… I will reveal a military secret: diplomats are working, and their work consists of making contacts in the host nation."

[Reck]

Hater and Darrins working overyime semen shielding for Trump and his cronies. :lol

24 hours and counting. ROFL

"Obama years suggesting the president was secretly pushing for Sharia law (https://books.google.com/books?id=nuv6Hi03cOAC&dq=obama+muslim&source=gbs_navlinks_s), violating espionage law (https://books.google.com/books?id=vg3HAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=obama+treason&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiywcDv1bjSAhVQ0mMKHcG_Dg4Q6AEITTAJ#v=on epage&q=obama%20treason&f=false), trying to destroy Israel (http://freebeacon.com/national-security/lawmaker-obama-admin-fueling-campaign-destroy-israel/),"

NONE of those were confirmed by NatSec as Pootin's cyber-attack on USA was.

Fucking false equivalence, again.

Trash actually asked, hoped the Russians would find Hillary's emails, indicating "Pootin helping me (and to whom I'm HEAVILY INDEBTED/RESCUED by $100Ms)" was on Trash's sick mind.

same confirmation bias

[Wild Cobra]

Senators and campaign staff meeting with diplomats is, as many have rightly pointed out, no big deal.

So why lie about it?

In context, he was responding to election involvement. That's what the clear line of questioning was.

Do I need to link the C-Span video again?

[Winehole23]

Sessions has a leg to stand on, sure. It's a very lawyerly leg. If Sessions was telling the truth, he told it in a very misleading way.

[Winehole23]

OTOH, the blanket denials of contact by Trump staffers are straight up false. not sure why they felt they had to deny legit diplomatic contacts, but they did.

[Winehole23]

why did Flynn lie to Pence?

so that Pence could lie for him when there was nothing to cover up? totally puzzling.

[Wild Cobra]

Why did Tenet lie to Bush?

[pgardn]

exactly. Sessions felt the need to lie because, like Trash, he has nefarious shit to hide.

The meeting with Russian ambassador was on his schedule as a Senator. There is something very wrong, or it really was nothing. This is getting very strange. Again as Wineman noted, why? It's right there for everyone to see. It's on his frkn schedule. At least Flynn lied about something on the phone (which the Bozo did not think would be listened to...)

These guys are lying about things they don't need to lie about. Or maybe what you said... But I have my doubts. What nefarious shit? This is how we beat Clinton? That's easy to say now, but when these things took place, a totally bizarre pipe dream. They were not planning to massively stuff ballot boxes via hacks.

Again remember this... The election was a total shocker. You can find your oddball that picks the long shot in any horse race, but otherwise, it was a massive surprise. Why do people forget this? Because Trump won a narrow election it's no longer a surprise? Go back at the time. CNN was slobbering over what was to be a big victory. Late into the night, FOX was throwing a giant surprise party. Hater had backed out on his prediction and picked Clinton. (This is the only event that would reveal Trump was The winner for me)

[pgardn]

Why did Tenet lie to Bush?

You tell the president what he might want to hear if you have your own doubts.
Yes men are dangerous. Especially those from a previous administration.

Why did Hussein Obama lie to the American people?

[lefty]

Good job voting Putin, guyz

[pgardn]

Why did Hussein Obama lie to the American people?

To keep up with the current thinking of most people.
On gay marriage anyway. And I don't know if this was even a lie.

Closing Guantanamo... well that proved extraordinarily difficult. More difficult than he knew it would be, who knows...

So back to the strange Trump administrations obvious attempts to deceive.

[hater]

Politicians lie!! Everyone panic!!! This is a travesty how dare a politician lie!!!!

[Winehole23]

the problem isn't lying but getting caught out in lies. veracity seems to be big problem for Team Trump.

[pgardn]

Politicians lie!! Everyone panic!!! This is a travesty how dare a politician lie!!!!

When you lie about such seemingly easy events to track down it shows a level of very low intelligence, or you just don't give a damn. Or you have lost your mind. It is revealing.

No it wasn't. The media is stupid and don't understand the idea of dependence of random variables. They kept acting like Trump had to win 7 or 8 coin flips in a row, which would have an extremely low probability of happening. But Nate Silver kept pointing out how correlated many of the states' votes were. It's why he gave Trump a 1 in 3 chance of winning the electoral vote on that dark Tuesday morning. He kept writing if the polling was 1.5 points off in the wrong direction Clinton was primed to lose critical states in the rust belt and thus the election, and that a couple of points error in the polls is pretty standard in a presidential election. He even gave a 10% chance Trump would win the electoral vote and lose the popular vote. This result was not a shocker, more a somewhat surprising upset. A shocker would have been Romney beating Obama or Kasich getting the GOP nomination.
