You don't go from "I can't recall the conversation" to "Let me hold a press conference in which I describe every detail of the conversation" unless you have something to hide.

So what we know: the Attorney General lied about meeting with the Russian ambassador under oath, and now as a consequence has to recuse himself from the investigation from the Presidential election. Obviously there should be a special prosecutor appointed to independently investigate the whole matter instead of forcing Boentes to do it and putting him in a position to investigate his bosses, though its better than nothing (for now).

Drip, drip, drip.

Pelosi says 100+ House Democrats have called on Sessions to resign.

DJT should give them the finger.

So they can laugh at how stubby it is?

So he can laugh about how he's the President and the country is great again and his life is a ravishing success unlike his opponents who are born losers and will die losers.

As the saying goes: U mad, bro?

Also is that pre-impeachment or post?

Impeachment has as close to a zero percent chance of happening as it did for Obama, so get out of your deranged fantasy land or you're going to be upset when he beats some loser that the Dems think is a good choice (Booker?)

Haha you real mad, bro.

No worries, the drip-drip-drip of news will definitely be fun to watch as it takes him down. Everyday there's a Russia story it reinforces how little capital he really has and how weak he is as a president. This drip-drip is how Nixon and Bush got screwed and really Trump has no mandate and is highly controversial and polarizing.

It's fun watching the defense though, as you all hope secretly he gets it together and lets you off the hook.

Don't get too worked up though brah. We're just at the beginning of this story.

Keep talking like an illiterate dropout. Please. What do I care if you continue to be marginalized? There is nothing that would bring me greater joy than to see your type permanently removed from power.

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.

No he didn't. The question, in context was about alleged contact between the Trump campaign and representatives of the Russian government. Sessions, referring to his role as a campaign surrogate, confirmed that he had had no such meetings. He did not refer to any meetings he had had in his role as a Senator because that is not what Sen. Franken asked about.

No, he's recused himself from any existing or future investigations of any of the 2016 Presidential campaigns because he was part of one of those campaigns. That's him going by the book on the recusal rules.

Considering the way you've been unable to conceal your frenzied longing for 'revenge' against the President that's some quite spectacular projection you're showing there.

What a f'ing dumpster fire this administration is, Trump and his gang might as well just admit they're Putin's lapdogs and puppets.

I agree with Pelosi that Sessions lied under oath and should resign.

It is funny that IF there is no "there" there in any of these stories. None of Flynn, Pudzer, or Sessions seem to have the backbone to defend themselves. If I didn't know any better, I'd think they were Democrats.
