WaPo: Sessions spoke twice with Russian ambassador during campaign

[Wiz in Wis]

At absolute minimum, he had weeks to prepare for this confirmation hearing, and he had to know Russia would come up. That he couldn't find a better response to this line of questioning only confirms the very base assumption about the Trump administration:

They are completely and pathetically in over their heads. There may be no grand conspiracy here, but it's pretty clear that this team is 100% amateur hour.

And that's the most charitable interpretation I can make. If I'm being honest, I'm pretty sure the Trump campaign was getting info on Clinton from Russia and was coordinating with a foreign power to ensure they'd win. Now, they're getting caught.

The White House is hanging Sessions out to dry.  They say they only learned yesterday, through press reports, that Sessions had contact with the Russian envoy during the campaign.

Oops

"EXTREME VETTING"

Sessions is holding a press conference at 4pm ET

I wonder if he'll recuse himself.

If he doesn't, he'll be entering a world of sh*t

Odds of resigning: 1/100
Odds of recusal: 79/100
Odds of stonewalling: 20/100

At this point, is there anyone who didn't meet with the Russian ambassador?

OMG! Shocking scandalous revelation on Senate Democrats!

Again, you're being deliberately obtuse. No one cares that a senator met with an ambassador. The problem is that he lied about it.

Whether his answer can be considered 'a lie' depends on what he understood to be the meaning of the question in context. The meaning of words, sentences and questions are not independent of context, language must be interpreted in context.

In any case all those people who think that he did 'lie' don't really care about that either. They're just looking for an excuse to work themselves up in a lather of righteous indignation.

It depends on what the definition of the word 'is' is.
