    Actually yes and no, he was asked that but he said he didn't have any contact with Russians not just as it pertained to the compaign. Then tried to say it was for his Senatorial duties for the Armed Forces committee, which was then also disproved. They don't meet with Ambassadors. Once was at the RNC and the other time a meeting with the Ambassador and himself.

    Will he be convicted of perjury? Probably not, but does this stain him and the Trumps? Yes, for certain except for the ostriches that make up a percentage of his voters (apologists).

    Claire MsCaskill (sp?) and other Democrat senators (with a Republican) met with the Russian ambassador. https://twitter.com/AlexPappas/statu...76403607793665

    Here are the transcripts: https://twitter.com/JayCostTWS/statu...83035788148736

    It can be read both ways. He wasn't specific enough either way.

    I think you highlighted the wrong word of that tweet. It is an op-ed (from Richard W. Painter, a professor at the University of Minnesota Law School and was the chief White House ethics lawyer from 2005 to 2007) not an journalist piece.

    Poor choice of words in my joke but publishing the thing is still bullshit. No one knows shit about this story. They can't even print the full question from Franken but they're pushing the story in one way by publishing this Op-Ed and keeping their hands clean.

    McCaskill, however, is on another committee that does meeting with Ambassadors. People, no matter how you package this it will still be bad and he still lied in front of Congress. If this is now ok, can we go back 20 years and go ahead and let Clinton off the hook?

    Didn't Clinton get off the hook? And don't most people think it was bullshit that he got impeached in the first place?

    However, I think Clinton was disbarred. Probably not a good look to have a disbarred AG. :)

    Governmental Affairs and Homeland Security Committees.

    But he took a huge kick to the nuts as a sitting president. I am saying that Sessions at the least should also have to take that huge kick to the nuts.
