Drip, drip, drip. Now Sessions is involved with Russians, and not truthful in confirmation hearings

[joet67]

Sorry I'm late to the party. I've been sleeping and just woke up.

[msanthrope]

1. This is big. nt

[joet67]

2. Yep. I just looked at my dog and told her in a sing-song voice "They're gonna get him".

I've been worried for nothing it seems.

[radical noodle]

3. I was feeling pretty down today

because everyone thought trump acted sane last night. My mood has definitely changed!

[joet67]

5. Yeah, me too. He seemed to be getting a media swoon, and I was kinda mad because

it was just lowering the bar (as many a pundit has also expressed). What a great evening! I think I'll take another nap. LOL

[radical noodle]

6. If napping gets results like this

feel free to nap more often!

[Ilsa]

4. They are claiming that he wasn't talking

To Russians about the the campaign, but who knows? A lot of hair-splitting and tap dancing.

Bryan Williams talked about trump being in debt to russians, but may not be any more. Nudge nudge, wink wink.

[joet67]

9. I'm sure it's deep. I bet it may even involve multiple avenues of deception and

criminal activity. This one is way better than Nixon, as a spectacle.

[oldtime dfl_er]

27. But it's the lie

in not disclosing the talks. Who cares if he was passing on John Podesta's risotto recipe or what?

[Ilsa]

30. I don't think he can squirm out of this by

Saying the content of the conversations was innocuous. He lied to deceive the committee about contacts with russia, specifically during the campaign.

[BigDemVoter]

7. And wasn't this wonderful news to wake up to?

I want to see that fucker go down in FLAMES!

[joet67]

11. I am elated.

[2naSalit]

8. As I have been saying for weks, at least...

They are all complicit.

[joet67]

10. Please just tell me it involves Pence. As much as I'd hate to see a President Ryan,

Ryan would be hobbled for the duration. Pence is a slithering snake who would just brush that **** off.

[2naSalit]

12. Both are included in the

"they" and "all".

[joet67]

13. From your lips to the authorities' ears.

I've long believed Pence had knowledge all along. Maybe even going back to last year?

[2naSalit]

14. He HAD to know about it...

I am interested in finding out when he knew and who his Russian handlers were.

[joet67]

15. My heart is literally singing a song right now. I wouldn't doubt it. Pence doesn't care

how he gets there, as long as he gets there. That's why he quit his (likely losing) Gubernatorial re-election, then weeks later jumped on with Trump.

Don't forget, Pence is being handled by the Koch Brothers. He was tied to the hip with them for years. Maybe we can even catch some RNC members, Koch-types, etc too out of this.

[2naSalit]

16. Wouldn't that be nice?

I would love to see a bunch of these oligarchs go down in flames.

[joet67]

19. It sure would. Especially as crappy as I've been feeling, mood-wise. Crappy doesn't cover it. nt

[2naSalit]

17. And welcome to DU

[joet67]

21. Thanks!

[procon]

18. Not just any Russian, it was Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, who was also Flynn's contact.

Sessions spoke with the Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the same time frame intelligence officials have said Russia was interfering with the U.S. presidential election through a hacking and influence campaign.

[joet67]

22. I hope this ensnares other high-level Republicans and operatives. I'd love to see that

Spicer had knowledge, or maybe even Priebus. Spicer because he's just a straight-up ass (can I say that? Sorry, I will go check the rules when I'm done). And Priebus, because he's a dimwit who is from Walker's Wisconsin (and Ryan's).

Oh, and Priebus trying to intervene with Justice should count for something, right?

[procon]

24. Yeah, Priebus has to be involved. Its a nest of snakes. nt

[oldtime dfl_er]

28. Is Flynn singing?

wondering

[Brother Buzz]

20. Well, fasten your seat belt and raise your seat to the full upright position...

there's turbulence ahead

[joet67]

23. Trouble ahead

31. Points for the Dead reference

[joet67]

32. Thanks! Never a bad time for the Dead.

[OliverQ]

25. Entire Administration is Compromised

Seems like everyone in the Trump admin has ties to Russia, and the GOP members trying to cover it up makes them complicit. They all need to be removed.

[triron]

26. I already figured this for quite awhile.

[democratisphere]

29. The corruption of the current WH continues to unwind.

Hopefully there will be a clean sweep eradication of the entire administration before this is all done.

[Me.]

33. And Those Con Senators Were So Concerned About Senate Civility

during his confirmation...and he lied to their faces.

[joet67]

34. Maybe some of them are ensnared? I can't imagine McConnell, for example, being out of the loop.

(okay, maybe I'm getting manic)

[Me.]

35. Well He Certainly Knew

'Cause reporting is that PBO told him

[joet67]

36. Excellent. nt

[MFM008]

37. Beauregard

says it never happened.......................never..........................ever.........................

[joet67]

38. Well, to be fair, he considers himself on the forefront of civil rights, too, so... nt

[MFM008]

39. right good one

he only wanted the best rope to hang people of color.
