An American lobbyist for Russian interests who helped craft an important foreign policy speech for Donald Trump has confirmed that he attended two dinners hosted by Jeff Sessions during the 2016 campaign, apparently contradicting the attorney general’s sworn testimony given this week.
Sessions testified under oath on Tuesday that he did not believe he had any contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests over the course of Trump’s campaign. But Richard Burt, a former ambassador to Germany during the Reagan administration, who has represented Russian interests in Washington, told the Guardian that he could confirm previous media reports that stated he had contacts with Sessions at the time.
“I did attend two dinners with groups of former Republican foreign policy officials and Senator Sessions,” Burt said.
Okay is there ANYBODY associated with this administration that is NOT somehow connected to the Russians?
I am beginning to think that on the Trump Administration job application there is a box marked "Are you besties with any Russians."
If you mark "Yes" you continue on, but if you mark "No" you are instructed to immediately hand in your application and leave the premises voluntarily or be escorted out by security.
This Burt guy was asked if he knew whether Sessions realized that he was a Russian lobbyist, and he said he did not.
But seriously at this point, after all of the Russian contacts that Sessions conveniently forgot, are we buying it?
All Sessions has to say is he didn't know the guy was a lobbyist for the Russians.
ReplyDeleteSessions is good at I don't recall, recollect, remember and I don't know. The guy is so bloody brain dead he isn't competent to head the Department of Justice. If nothing else, this should get him to resign for utter failure to do his job, whatever the hell it's supposed to be.
Typical white Republican guy from the United States Congress (appointed AG) - they cannot tell the truth to save their fucking lives!
ReplyDeleteSessions is even worse as he has lied under oath, in front of Americans, while being questioned and televised - as AG! String him up! Fucking bastard!
You forgot... and a good Christian. That should be an oxymoron.
DeleteWe all knew he would lie under oath. Nothing is sacred anymore in government. Donald Gump being the biggest liar of them all. Putin is busy taking advantage of all this predictable human shit. Not kidding. He wrote the book on all of this. Just watch your back when he spices your drink with uranium or something of the like. It's a different world with that orange thing in our white house. Nothing is sacred. It's a rich man's world.
ReplyDelete"Nothing is sacred anymore" in our GOP/Trumpland Land of Fakery that we now live in.

ReplyDelete"Uh oh, District Attorney Jeff Sessions has some 'splaining to do"
ReplyDeleteNO NO NO!
NO HE DOESN'T
Sessions testified under oath on Tuesday that "HE DID NOT BELIEVE" he had any contacts with lobbyists working for Russian interests over the course of Trump’s campaign.

The stakes are enormous. Voting Trump / Pence in 2016 could lead to a Putin / Trump world in 2017. This troubling partnership is a very real threat to American
"The PutinTrump.org editors have joined forces with Mother Jones, the investigative news organization, to continue digging into the Trump-Russia story."
Delete"Wait! did you say RUSSIANS??? OH!! I thought you said PRUSSIANS!! Sure, I met with Russians all the time! Hell, I love me some borscht, Comrade! You should have been clearer when you asked me that the other few times..."
ReplyDeleteCan you prove Jeff Sessions lied under oath?
ReplyDeleteJeff Sessions Said "I Don't Remember" or "I Don't Recall" 26 Times During Senate Intel Testimony
He probably couldn't even remember where he was or why he was there when he was testifying. What in the world do we want an Attorney General who 1) either lies and plays stupid under oath or 2) is completely out to lunch mentally?

Oops, I inadvertently typed "District Attorney," instead of "Attorney General."
ReplyDeleteMy bad, fixed now.
Typical lying repug, I knew he was lying the way he was 'dancing around" during his questioning earlier this week.
ReplyDeleteSessions is certainly bizarre looking and he sounds like he should be sitting in a nursing home rocking chair.

ReplyDeleteSessions is a superfluous, bombastic , racist idiot !
Hahaha monkey's ass!
DeleteNot a horse or donkey's but a monkeys....hahaha
Who are the people still buying this stuff? I had resigned myself to understand that people love money more than: children, the earth, health care for the sick, education, peace, stability, the future. I had resigned myself to understand that some people had minorities and women so much they'll pay almost any price to keep them down. BUT, that this many Americans are truly Anti-America? It's a mind-fuck.
ReplyDeleteWell he sure remembered everything when they were talking about the good old days in the senate.
ReplyDeleteHis good ol’ southern boy routine didn’t fool anyone.
