Juan Thompson didn't add to his threats: "I'm a Democrat or I'm a Hillary supporter and that's why I'm threatening you". Trumpers take pride in their thuggery AND connect their threats directly to their thug of a leader.

Further there will be no Dems/Progressives anywhere who will come out supporting Thompson's threats or behaviors. Trump, meanwhile, holds rallies praising his thugs.

No, he did not..

He answered "NO"..

What part of full disclosure has you confused? The "whole truth"? Not only did Sessions lie in his confirmation hearing, he lied in his press conference when he volunteered:

"I never had meetings with Russian operatives or Russian intermediaries about the Trump campaign, and the idea that I was part of a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government is totally false. That's the question that Senator Franken asked me during the committee hearing."

A total BS lie from the Attorney General of the United States. Obviously, everyone understands that politicians lie, but why lie about something at the beginning of your press conference that is easily provable to be a complete and total fabrication? So what did Al Franken actually ask Sessions in his confirmation hearing?

FRANKEN: CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week that included information that quote, "Russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump." These documents also allegedly say quote, "There was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump's surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government."

SESSIONS: Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it.

Franken asked Sessions what he would do if the information CNN had reported were true. Sessions volunteered the false information, and he now admits to meeting with Russian officials... twice. So I ask you: What part of swearing to "tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" is confusing you? Sessions is also now saying that in retrospect he should have disclosed the meeting with the ambassador. It's no big secret that lawyers understand the concept of "full disclosure." LOL

If you have ANY facts to support your claim that this is a lie, let's see them..

If you have any facts to support your claim that he didn't speak about the election, let's see them. And since we're talking about the United States Attorney General and proof: Did anyone... ANYONE... have any proof whatsoever regarding what Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch discussed on the tarmac? Not a living soul, including you, but the Trump advocates insisted it was nefarious... funny how that cuts both ways. :)

Now that the FACTS are aired, ANYONE who claims that Session lied is lying...

Anyone who insists he isn't lying under oath both orally and written when asked to provide the "truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" is either delusional or has never gone through a government security clearance. You don't have to be perfect to pass the clearance, but you are expected to provide the truth and give full disclosure. You can't have committed multiple felonies by violating a federal law thousands of times and expect to pass scrutiny, but if you've got a few dings, you're fine as long as you follow full disclosure and tell them before they find out about it. The issue isn't whether you're perfect; the issue is whether or not you're trustworthy. It ain't rocket science. :)

That was likely due to blatant ignorance instead of an outright lie, like claiming FORMER AG Lynch recused herself.....

You see, Liz?? I told you. I wasn't going to let it go...

You are STILL lying..

All Lynch said was that she would accept the FBI's determination.. She was STILL involved and STILL pulling the strings in the investigation..

You were wrong.. Your lame attempt to cover you were wrong is ALSO wrong...

Just admit it and we can move on...

I showed you how it's done with honesty, sincerity and integrity..

Now it's your turn to show some integrity...

Fair enough.
But let me clarify that I only said I wouldn't condemn, I didn't say I wouldn't complain at my own discretion.

And again, if you do it fairly without regard to the '-X' after the person's name, you won't hear a peep from me..

But if you point out that Mister '-R' is lying and that's bad, but you ignore when Miss '-D' also lies..

Then I am going to point out the hypocrisy...

It's what I do.. :D

Here is a good rule to follow before posting something someone allegedly said: if there is no video or audio accompanying the quote, you can assume that it is fake news.

Really?? :D

OK, using that litmus, everyone here is posting 'fake news'... :D

Because NO ONE ever posts ANY video or audio to accompany their claims.. :D

No, he did not..

Sessions was asked if he ever met with any Russian officials and discussed the election.

He answered "NO"..

If you have ANY facts to support your claim that this is a lie, let's see them..

You don't...

Now that the FACTS are aired, ANYONE who claims that Session lied is lying...

No, the point is that you claimed Lynch recused herself and you were wrong.. Just like you claimed Obama was windsurfing in Hawaii and he is in DC setting up the Take Down Trump command center...

The point is you were wrong and you can't admit it..

Yes, Sessions recused himself.. He had the integrity that Lynch did not...

As for McCaskill, last I checked nobody cares. She isn't in charge of anything.

No, nobody here cares because McCaskill has a '-D' after her name..

Good luck with your new project.

A

Just as I won't let go that Democrat Senator McCaskill lied thru her ass about never meeting a Russian ambassador and NO ONE here condemns those lies....

But everyone jumps on the fake news that AG Sessions lied...

I condemn both McCaskill and the fascist Cheeto for all the lies they've disseminated on Twitter where we all raise our right hands and swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth so help us God... oh, wait!

The problem for Sessions is he did, in fact, lie under oath where he swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Now while we can certainly quibble over whether or not he "intentionally" lied or whether he "unintentionally" lied, the FACT is... he did lie under oath.

Additionally, none of the other 20 senators on that committee had met with Kislyak last year... not a single one. So it's highly unlikely that Sessions simply forgot about these meetings. The spokesperson for Sessions is on record stating that Sessions just interpreted Franken's question to be about conversations with the Russians in his capacity as a "Trump adviser," which he claims he has never had.

"There was absolutely nothing misleading about his answer," Sessions spokesperson Sarah Isgur Flores explained in her press statement. "He was asked during the hearing about communications between Russia and the Trump campaign — not about meetings he took as a senator and a member of the Armed Services Committee."

Sessions's follow-up behavior makes this defense even more pathetic and weak because on January 17, Sessions submitted a response to a written questionnaire presented to him by Senator Patrick Leahy who asked Sessions a question about Russia, to which he submitted the simple response: "No."

SENATOR LEAHY: Several of the President-elect's nominees or senior advisers have Russian ties. Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day?

SENATOR SESSIONS: No.

Technically, Sessions didn't repeat his earlier false statement here, but he also didn't deny all contact with Russians, just contact regarding the 2016 election. A problem arises because the question from Leahy gave Sessions an opportunity to clarify his earlier misleading testimony by admitting that he had indeed met with Kislyak in his capacity as ambassador, and Sessions failed to do it. This written response is further evidence that his initial comment under oath was willfully misleading the committee.

"The truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth" is the standard here, and Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III, Esq. is a lawyer who knows exactly what that phrase means.

Did Sessions commit perjury? Without additional proof, these facts alone would not meet that standard of proof.

Did he lie under oath? ABSOLUTELY... and no amount of deflection to whether Claire McCaskill did or did not lie on Twitter is going to change that fact.

Apology accepted.

Here is a good rule to follow before posting something someone allegedly said: if there is no video or audio accompanying the quote, you can assume that it is fake news.

But Obama setting up anti-Trump central at his house in DC? Bwahahahahahaha! C'mon...

As for McCaskill, last I checked nobody cares. She isn't in charge of anything.

But everyone jumps on the fake news that AG Sessions lied...

You see how it works???

As well you shouldn't...

Just like I am not going to let go that Balthy posted that Lynch recused herself, which she did not do..

That Balthy posted that Obama is windsurfing in Hawaii which he is NOT....

That is as much BS as the fake Whoopi quote..

But will HE fess up to it???

Of course he won't...

Yer absolutely right...

And I totally and with complete sincerity render that apology for posting something completely unfounded...

*I* have credibility around here...

Now let's see if others who posted complete and utter fake news in this commentary can show the same sort of integrity..

My guess is.... NOPE...

I think you owe us an apology for citing something that has no basis in fact.

Nothing I haven't already said above.. :D

Just wanted to make sure we are on the same page as we often are... :D

We have nothing here without our own credibility.

And people who can't admit when they are wrong have NO CREDIBILITY...

Wouldn't you agree???

That it.
Sorry Michale, but I'm done with condemnations.

That's fine..

As long as you apply that equally, you won't hear a peep out of me regarding your lack of condemnations..

I mean that sincerely.. If you don't want to condemn ANYONE for ANYTHING, that is your right and I respect that...

My point is, and ALWAYS has been, the blatant hypocrisy around here...

That Weigantians attack Sessions for lying, which he DIDN'T do, but ignore when McCaskill blatantly and PROVABLY lies...

Weigantians attacked Bush for lying, which he DIDN'T do, but ignore Obama when Obama BLATANTLY and PROVABLY lied and continues to lie......

It's never about the condemnation....

It's about the blatant hypocrisy....

If LYING is such a huge crime, such a big deal..

Where is the condemnation of McCaskill and her lies???

When are you going to hold Trump responsible for the botched Yeman raid like you held Hillary responsible for Benghazi?

You mean the raid that was planned by Obama???

That speaks for itself...

Still don't want to admit you were wrong, eh??

I didn't think you could..

Check comment #14....

No, no anti-Trump war room is being planned. Just wing-nut hysteria and fake news as usual.

Yea, and Trump was NEVER going to win the election and NOT-45 was going to win in a 50-state landslide..

You don't have much credibility, you know that??

Especially when you can't even admit you were wrong about Obama not being in DC and you were wrong about the Lynch non-recusal..

So, like I said...

ZERO credibility...

Which fake news would that be??

Ya'all just care when someone with an '-R' after their name allegedly does it...

When are you going to show Sessions the same outrage and condemnation that you claim McCaskill deserves?

When are you going to hold Trump responsible for the botched Yeman raid like you held Hillary responsible for Benghazi?

http://www.ebony.com/news-now/valerie-jarrett-jeff-sessions

How Michale managed to conflate Valerie Jarrett (a long time aide and confidant to President Obama) and Karl Rove (Obama hater) is beyond me, but I'm not surprised at all about it.

No, no anti-Trump war room is being planned. Just wing-nut hysteria and fake news as usual.

I think you better forget about and edit function and consider instead instituting some form of fact-checker at CW.com

AMEN to frakin' THAT!!!

For the record...

"I have decided now to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for president of the United States."
-AG Sessions

THAT is a recusal...

You were wrong, Balthy... I was right...

Have the integrity to admit it..

I think you better forget about and edit function and consider instead instituting some form of fact-checker at CW.com

It's not a recusal and you know it..

It's a lame attempt to deflect that you were wrong...

. I keep forgetting about the right wing fetishism about Magic Words, and how certain Magic Words (like 'radical islamic') make everything better.

Again, nice deflection..

Lynch did not recuse herself..

THIS IS FACT...

You were wrong..

THIS IS ALSO FACT...

Obama is in DC...

THIS IS ALSO FACT....

You were wrong again....

THIS IS ALSO FACT

I don't know what yer spewin' but it ain't facts...

Sen. Manchin should admit reality and move across the aisle to join the Republicans. What do the middle-finger Democrats have in common anymore with West Virginia, which Mr. Trump carried by 42 points?
https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-democrats-abandon-the-ship-of-state-1488413264?mod=e2two

The Democrat Party is finished...

It's got nothing left that Americans (except maybe those in Califonia) want nor need...

It's really THAT simple....

That's recusal. That's what recusal means, for all intents and purposes. I keep forgetting about the right wing fetishism about Magic Words, and how certain Magic Words (like 'radical islamic') make everything better.

I sure hope your intention is not to infuse this site with fake news.

Where did you comment [85] come from?

Because, not only did Whoopi Goldberg not say what you think she said but, she said the complete opposite.

Do you intend to address this?

Of course not...

McCaskill has a '-D' after her name.... So she can lie all she wants and no one here will call her on it...

Once again, proof positive that ya'all don't care about lying..

Ya'all just care when someone with an '-R' after their name allegedly does it...

As I said and as the NY Grimes confirms..

This is pissed off, sore loser, sour grapes diner Obama pulling strings from the shadows...

If Bush had done this to Obama, ya'all would have been screaming bloody murder...

It's ALL about the '-X' after the person's name.....

Thanks for the response the other day.

Sorry to hear about your taxes.
I hope the complexity was necessitated by an unexpected windfall... or something positive.

Something to keep in mind, the budget cuts at the IRS mean that audit rates are down to 0.8%.
Yes, that means billions in revenue for the government will be lost to tax evaders, but it also means you probably don't need to stress too much.

Hope it goes well for you.

A

Jeezus, Balthazar, where are you getting your alternate facts????

Obama's in DC and his Karl Rove just moved into their house and it's officially the Anti-Trump nerve center...

Jeezus, dood... Get a grip on reality, eh????

As usual, your "facts" are made up wishful thinking..

Lynch never recused herself from the Clinton investigation...

She only said she wouldn't be involved in the decision on whether or not to prosecute NOT-45...

But she NEVER recused herself...

So, either you just made shit up or you are lying...

I am sure you are just making shit up and hoping I won't check... :D

I don't agree at all.
I don't see how calling home based electricity production "manufacturing" would lead to the elimination of the tax credit. It would just be another loophole for those wealthy enough to get off the grid... which certainly doesn't include "all of us".

But the way the loophole was created, implemented and maintained does provide yet another good example for getting Big Money out of our politics.

A

Of course, the FACTS clearly show that McCaskill was at a meeting with the Russian ambassador twice in 2013...

Of course, ALL of ya'all will condemn McCaskill's lies, right???

{{cchhhiirrrrpppp}} {{{chirrrrrpppppp}}}

Oh yea, that's right.. I forgot..

"Well, that's different"

It always is.... :^/

You mean Loretta Lynch, who recused herself from the Clinton investigation before anyone asked her to. That Lynch. Dropped that down the memory hole, did you?

Sessions probably just wants to make all the talk about perjury charges go away, so he can get on to locking up evil weed smokers and hispanic moms.

WHAT?!! Michale, you've been watching too much RT again, methinks. Last I saw, Obama is off somewhere windsurfing, yelling "Your problem now!" over his shoulder. BTW, in an actual match-up, Obama would beat Trump like a schoolboy. Trump beat HILLARY, by a margin smaller than his....um, pinkie finger. Obama's down with that.

Sessions presser was interesting. I think he's up to his ears and the water's lapping around his nose. Tonight? Tomorrow? Next week?

He has just recused himself from the investigation..

That's what integrity looks like, people....

If these things were truly equal then your condemnation would be appropriate and I would commend you for it..

But these things are far from equal...

So yer right...

I don't agree....

That is ALL this is...

And, once Obama's involvement becomes overt, I truly hope that he overreaches into the realm of treason..

That would truly make my day....

I don't think it was humor.
I don't think lightening the mood was Trumps motivation.
I don't think he is capable of empathy.

And, I think it was scripted and inextricably linked to the tactic.

I do agree wasting more of your time is unnecessary though.

A

Flynn wasn't a sitting senator who had daily meetings with all kinds of ambassadors..

There were no denial of chats..

But, other than that, yea...

EXACTLY the same... :)

I'm afraid you have been taken in by fake news, again.

I just watched the clip of the View and Whoopie Goldberg did not say that military widows love their 15 minutes in the spotlight.

In fact, she said the very opposite!

Where did you get your information on this?

Just like Dimmies always covered for NOT-45....

Right up to the point that President Trump DEVASTATED her in the presidential election... :D

Thinking up new ways to abuse the manufacturing tax credit wasn't the point I was hoping to convey.

A

But pubbies will cover for him until critical mass is reached -- it's what they do!

Let me try to be as clear as I can before I waste any more time on this.

I was commenting ONLY on Trumps interjection of humour to lighten a heavy moment. Something that is done by many people on many occasions. I would be surprised if you hadn't ever done the same thing. I interpreted this interjection as the one and only time I ever recall Trump showing empathy for another human being.

In future, read what is there and try not to assume things that aren't.

I did not respond to Trump's use of the tactic.

http://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2017/03/jeff-sessions-now-officially-toxic

Glad to hear you read that column.
I hope everyone does.
There is an excellent (and as always occasionally objectionable) discussion in the comments to the column too.

Not sure how your response to Trump's use of the tactic doesn't qualify as falling for the con. He seemed to elicit the exact response desired.
I'm sorry if I'm missing where you diverged from it.
Your praise for Trump for what I think is creepy exploitation (in the follow up boast after using the creepy tactic) can't be separated from the tactic in my mind. One is based on the other.

Your retort didn't include an explanation, so I guess I'm asking for one.

I fully agree about soft power and the huge benefits of using diplomacy to avoid wars, but GG likes to keep his columns focused on a single issue... for reasons I agree with... the inability of a huge segment of the population to absorb more than one idea at a time.

I wish I could agree that the US is even trying to win hearts and minds in the Islamic world, but I'm afraid the evidence shows the opposite. The establishment duopoly seems intent on creating enemies to justify advancing their hegemonic agenda and massive "defense" budgets... which I'm sure just coincidentally benefits their largest campaign donors and future employers financially.

That's my opinion... no idea how GG would respond.

A

The same reason some people always try to claim "both sides do it" when it comes to Democrat lying...

See?? It's simple...

Woopi Goldberg is a scum sucking jackass for her attack on a fallen SEAL!!!

PERIOD...

Then in your next comment say something like Trump is a scum sucking jackass for some imagined slight

Than THAT would be acceptable...

But by trying to equate the two, one is just playing politics and is not really condemning Whoopi..

Liz did it perfectly..

No reservation, no equivocation.... Just pure condemnation...

THAT is how it is supposed to work...

Sad!

Nope.. That's a cop-out..

If you can't condemn the scumbag actions of Whoopi completely in and of themselves, you aren't condemning anything...

What he said..... :D

Why do Republicans hate honesty?

That's funny coming from a NOT-45 supporter.. :D

for the same reason as democrats, and indeed all politicians since even before the invention of politics - to avoid being held responsible for the results of their actions.

JL

Truth is so slippery when you're covering up treason.

Why do Republicans hate honesty?

I swear, the Left Wingery who supports this kind of crap should be totally and completely ashamed of themselves...

Agreed...

But, the question that needs to be answered by Sessions then is why - in the context of the US intel community consensus that Russia was responsible for hacking into the DNC and Podesta emails and for disclosing information to the public through WikiLeaks in an attempt to influence the US election - did Sessions feel the need to hide the fact that he, on two occasions during the presidential campaign, communicated with the Russian Ambassador, a character well known as a spy (surprise, surprise).

There are numerous fallacies in your statement..

First off, there is no direct incontrovertible factual proof that Russians had anything do with the DNC being hacked..

It was Podesta's stoopidity and Podesta's stoopidity ONLY that lead to the DNC emails being exposed...

Second, Sessions didn't hide any meetings with the Russian Ambassador....

Finally, Ambassadors are NOT spies, in the conventional sense, as a matter of course... To do so would open up a whole slew of a can of worms...

And, once again, I am forced to wonder where was all this Anti-Russia hysteria when Candidate Romney warned us that Russia was our number 1 geopolitical foe???

When he got there, the drama intensified—he was denied entry! Paul holds an impromptu press conference because of course the press flocked to the secret room to see the action. But wait! The bill isn't there! Even Republicans who are allowed into the room aren't able to find it.

Then why are you wasting my time!?

You're missing the point, Michale.

Of course, it is perfectly reasonable and normal for senators to meet with other country's ambassadors. And, you are correct to point out that there is no evidence, whatsoever, that Sessions or anyone else connected with the Trump campaign communicated with Russian officials about the campaign.

But, the question that needs to be answered by Sessions then is why - in the context of the US intel community consensus that Russia was responsible for hacking into the DNC and Podesta emails and for disclosing information to the public through WikiLeaks in an attempt to influence the US election - did Sessions feel the need to hide the fact that he, on two occasions during the presidential campaign, communicated with the Russian Ambassador, a character well known as a spy (surprise, surprise).

I think the AG needs to clear this up. And, if he can't, then he knows well what he will need to do.

Why do Republicans hate America?

Electors are party operatives, and party enforcement is effective because, in most states, the votes of each elector are a matter of public record. Number of election outcomes changed by faithless electors. ZERO.

Faithless electors have about the same stopping power as the hand brake on your car....next to none. Any anti-tyranny function of electors was gamed out of the system long ago.

This is, at the very least, misleading the US Congress.

How is that misleading??

Show me ANY factual evidence that proves Sessions spoke to ANY Russian official about the campaign..

You can't because absolutely NO SUCH EVIDENCE exists...

Liberals love pointing out alleged lies about Republicans but worship the liars that have a '-D' after their name..

THAT is what is sad....

He didn't have any communications with Russian officials AS IT PERTAINED to the election, which is what Franken had asked...

Sessions told the complete and unvarnished truth...

Not only that, EVERYTHING Sessions said was 100% factual...

This is nothing about nothing.. Or maybe you find it unusual that Senators would meet with other country's ambassadors...???

This is just for you, Michale. :)

Already read it this morning. :D

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/03/02/white-house-defends-sessions-as-dems-seek-resignation-over-russia-revelation.html

He was asked by Senator Franken what he would do if he learned that people associated with the Trump presidential campaign had communications with Russian officials about the campaign.

His answer was that he himself has been called a surrogate of the campaign and that he didn't have any communications with Russian officials and that, beyond that, he had no further comment.

Too bad Franken didn't follow that up with the obvious next question.

Then, in a written response to a written question by Senator Leahy about whether he had any communications with Russian officials about the campaign, Sessions answered with a simple, 'No.'

This is, at the very least, misleading the US Congress.

Can you point out exactly where AG Sessions misled Congress???

Because no one else has been able to...

Al, you have a tendency of reading into comments positions that are not articulated. Which leads you to faulty assumptions like the one I highlighted above.

My point was that C-Span is the source I use to show that AG Sessions did indeed mislead Congress during is confirmation hearing, on more than one occasion.

Consequently, he should, at the very least, recuse himself immediately.

I'm familiar with the Intercept article you cite by GG and he highlighted many important points about how the US operates to ensure sustained support from the American people for its wars.

I think GG missed commenting on an even more important issue that his piece clearly points to. And, that is that dehumanizing the civilian victims of US military actions offers up a key to understanding why the US and its allies are not winning the war of ideas nor changing hearts and minds in the Islamic world and why there is no endgame in sight to the continuing and record-breaking long war.

This is also why I hope that the Trump administration will not cut the budget of the state department and foreign aid but rather ramp up US efforts in the public diplomacy arena and in the implementation of effective soft power and recognize all of that as equally important to the role of the military in fighting and defeating the violently deranged extremists who hijack religion to further their murderous agenda.

:D hehehehehehehe

No, patriots have all the answers they want and need..

Whiney sore losers whining on sour grapes want ONLY the "answers" they want to hear....

Ya'all LOST.... Get over it already...

Quit trying to destroy the country in ya'all's hysterical attempt to get at President Trump....

Comment #14 explains it all...

No, the source of the leaks..

WaPoop....

You should never comment before reading the column. :)

ALL ya'all have are media leaks from a PROVEN inaccurate source.. A source that has had to produce MULTIPLE retractions to complete and utter bullshit they have claimed in the past..

And ya'all suck it up with a smile.. :D

It's so sad to see how ya'all simply discard facts and reality in favor of an obvious partisan hatchet job...

So sad.....

Whoops.
Comment before the column.
Or, at least the first part of the comment.

Didn't realize CW had covered it well.

A

Time was when lying under oath was a big deal. Take, say, 1998, when a young Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III was perfectly vaporous at the notion that the president might have barbered his testimony.

Time was you Left Wingers stated JUST the opposite... Make up yer minds...

Further, Sessions was asked if he had discussed campaign issues with the Russians... He answered "NO"...

There is absolutely no factual evidence to support the claim that THAT was a lie...

This is nothing but a partisan witch hunt...

Nothing to see here...

Wow.
Claiming that boast of a record ovation was a show of empathy is giving Trump a huge and undeserved benefit of the doubt.

It was pure narcissism from and about the guy who unnecessarily caused the death of the SEAL (and 15 civilians including 8 children) AND then blamed the generals... AND then used the death for political gain.

I know you don't like GG, but here's something that puts the whole thing into historical context.

https://theintercept.com/2017/03/01/trumps-use-of-navy-seals-wife-highlights-all-the-key-ingredients-of-u-s-war-propaganda/

You are falling for a con that has been thrust upon us for our entire lives.

Yes.
Obama did it too.
