Sessions omitted Kislyak meetings from his security clearance application - Polidicks

[url]http://edition.cnn.com/2017/05/24/politics/jeff-sessions-russian-officials-meetings/index.html[/url] [quote]Attorney General Jeff Sessions did not disclose meetings he had last year with Russian officials when he applied for his security clearance, the Justice Department told CNN Wednesday. Sessions, who met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak at least two times last year, didn't note those interactions on the form, which requires him to list "any contact" he or his family had with a "foreign government" or its "representatives" over the past seven years, officials said. The new information from the Justice Department is the latest example of Sessions failing to disclose contacts he had with Russian officials. He has come under withering criticism from Democrats following revelations that he did not disclose the same contacts with Kislyak during his Senate confirmation hearings earlier this year. Sessions initially listed a year's worth of meetings with foreign officials on the security clearance form, according to Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores. But she says he and his staff were then told by an FBI employee who assisted in filling out the form, known as the SF-86, that he didn't need to list dozens of meetings with foreign ambassadors that happened in his capacity as a senator.[/quote]

Here's your daily 5pm dinner bombshell, people.

[QUOTE]SEN. AL FRANKEN: "If there was any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this (2016) campaign, what would you do?," the Minnesota Democrat asked. SESSIONS: "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 did not have communications with the Russians." DATE: January 10 [/QUOTE] say it with me!Lying under oath!

textbook perjury

The Deep State is real. The deep state of paranoia from those blithering morons about a "Deep State" I mean.

Throw entire fucking lot in prison. Have some random clerk from Montana run the government at this point they'll do a better job than the entire damn administration.

This is firing squad level stuff. If the stream of nonsense doesn't slow down as it pours out of the Trump Administration, it's likely to sink not only themselves but the entire Republican party backing them all the way down. [editline]24th May 2017[/editline] God those midterms couldn't get any closer, could they? I can't wait. If it's as bad for the Republicans as it's seeming to be, this whole country will have it's political landscape change drastically. I almost wish Trump stays in office long enough for the Midterms to come up or, hell, reelection, if he keeps causing controversy on a daily basis like this. The Republican's numbers are getting worse and worse every day, it's absurd to see.

Trump isn't simply unexceptional, he's actively doing damage. Get some boring wet sponge guy in there and it will at least be like Bush maybe.

Hit Trump, Sessions, Manafort, and Flynn with charges of treason, extortion, perjury, and obstruction of justice. Each of them are guilty beyond reasonable doubt. Send them to federal prison for the rest of their lives.

Just how deep does the hole go holy shit, if investigators are planning on waiting until they reach the end of the hole before prosecuting it's gonna be a long ass investigation.

However, that is hopefully going to not be the case once the investigations are concluded and the truth comes out, instead of evidence staying under wraps (less leaks) while the investigations continue as has been the case. I feel that evidence will be shown to exist in sufficient quantities and veracity to convict the President and a startling number of his inner circle once the truth is exposed. But we will have to wait and see. The foundation of America's justice system is innocent until proven guilty. We just have a looooooot of circumstantial evidence pointing to significant likelihood of proof, which makes it difficult to remember our duty of maintaining an impartial mind until the verdict is reached.

Isn't this the second time he has gotten in trouble for this?

I don't know if such proof has been made public yet to convict Trump himself of Treason, but Flynn can probably be charged. Trump can easily be convicted of obstruction of justice, as he himself bragged twice about his intent in firing Comey. Sessions is, beyond any doubt, guilty of perjury, and Manafort might just go down with Flynn.

Trump will leave the White House in chains. I'm only afraid that his supporters will become violent and attack minorities in retaliation when he finally is impeached

They'll just whine about it and the "Deep State", how "those crying libtards finally got their wish" and will never achieve #MAGA.
