Originally posted by jerp View PostI like Jeff Sessions a lot but he handed the Dems a club to whack him with in his answer to Sen. Franken. If he had said "Yes I talked to the Russian ambassador as part of my duties on the Armed Services Committee, but did not discuss the election" all would be fine. Denying he talked to the Russians at all was a mistake. We all know the context of the question was about influencing the election but it does not matter now - the dems and the media will hammer away on this forever. It was an unforced error on Session's part.

There is one valid question to be asked here:
Why is the Russian Ambassador in Cleveland
Not like he just dropped by on his way home
At the Republican National Convention?
It's kind of inappropriate that the Russian Ambassador is there in the first place
Just saying..... kinda weird
Like a vegetarian going to a BBQ cook off
Why are you here?

New information about a July event where then-Sen. Jeff Sessions of Alabama held the first of two conversations with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
The Cleveland event, the "Global Partners in Diplomacy" conference, was attended by many foreign ambassadors to the US. A Cleveland Plain Dealer story from July 20 reported 80 ambassadors were invited to the event's reception, during which Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, gave an address.

I guess a Judge would have ruled he was leading the Attorney if he had.
