What do you think of the so-called revelation that Jeff Session met with the Russians and then lied to Congress about it?

This is obviously more fake news from the left-wing media.

  I saw that! He actually spoke with the ambassador at some kind of ambassadorial meeting of many ambassadors from all over. I'm also seeing where such a despicable act was treason and he needs jailed.
  
  "The Justice Department said late Wednesday that one of the discussions between Sessions and Sergey Kislyak was an office visit that occurred in Sessions' capacity as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The second conversation took place in a group setting with other ambassadors following a Heritage Foundation speech."
  
  Of course, Sessions never denied speaking to a Russian: "...Sessions said, "I never met with any Russian officials to discuss issues of the campaign.". Almost seems like the whole thing is being blown just a wee bit out of proportion, doesn't it?

  From a legal perspective, the statement that matters is the one given under oath ("I did not have communications with the Russians") as that's the one that is potentially a case of perjury (he allegedly did have communications with the Russians). Whether he spoke about the campaign or not is irrelevant, as that's not the question he was asked under oath.

  Yes, that's the one that will likely matter. Then the question becomes one of meaning and context.
  
  "“there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.”
  
  Did he answer in the context of being a Trump surrogate or intermediary and exchange information in that capacity? Up to the jury, isn't it?
  
  Or should we all assume that context doesn't matter, actual meaning doesn't matter and hang him because we don't like him?

  The exact quote is: "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it", which indicates he is answering in the context of being a Trump surrogate.
  
  But you're absolutely right. It is for a jury to decide whether he committed perjury.
  
  It is also absolutely right that the matter is investigated, and based on the results of that investigation, a decision made as to whether he be prosecuted for perjury.

  Absolutely... there were a few investigations thrown Obama's way, so its no surprise that the opposition is more than ready to go on anything they can against Trump's people... who only had to say 'yeah, I met with them, so what?' when they were asked... sadly this does nothing for the American people. Just politicians playing their games and stalling on getting things done... and the ones who suffer for it are the millions of Americans that need these fools to make decisions on the ACA and taxes and so much else.

  I thought Clinton established very well that perjury before congress was quite acceptable? Although it will appease some to spend a few millions of taxpayer dollars to embarrass their political opponent. I swear, after the Clinton fiasco there isn't much of a reason to "investigate" our politicians at all!

  Sometimes the 'fake news' is easy to spot...
  
  I know I fall back on this one too often, but it is because it is the most obvious... when the MSM went ahead and pushed the Benghazi/Riots being caused by a 'youtube' video that was 'fake news' or rather, that was the MSM pushing a lie for the establishment.
  
  50 years ago, there would have been reporters tearing into that lie and exposing it for it was. And they would have exposed the shipment of weapons sent to the Muslim Brotherhood and other rebels in Syria.
  
  Maybe not... maybe the went after Nixon because he was a Republican, maybe they dug into Iran - Contra because Reagan was a Republican, maybe they are hell bent to destroy Trump because he is a Republican.
  
  In which case, the question remains, who to believe and why.

  What all this has been about, Flynn, Sessions, and everyone else they are trying to tag with this... well what can I say except this gives a ton of credibility that there is some form of 'shadow government' or 'deep state' at work here trying to undermine Trump and his administration.
  
  Once again, what is Trump first and foremost... he is the ANTI-Establishment President, he is not part of the inner-click, he is not someone they can just throw a hundred million dollars at and buy off. He is not an 'establishment' politician and therefore he is a threat.
  
  Trump most likely believes having been elected President that he is in charge, that he is there to do the people's bidding... that's a nice sentiment, but that type of President/Government died with Woodrow Wilson when he betrayed the Nation, the People, and the Constitution by signing into law the Federal Reserve Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, the Sixteenth Amendment, the Revenue Act, Sedition Act, Segregation, WWI etc. he was a one man wrecking crew supported by the most corrupt people alive at that time, literally the roots of everything you probably hate about our government today can be laid at Wilson's feet... he did more to strip the rights of Americans away and create a bank controlled one-world system of masters and slaves than any man in America's history.
  
  Sorry for getting off track... so anyways, it is interesting that SOMEONE is doing everything possible to disrupt Trump's administration, pulling strings everywhere... from Federal Judges to Senators to the FBI.
  
  Reminds me in many ways of the struggles Kennedy had against the 'establishment', the FBI, CIA, and Military Complex, and how when they found they couldn't control him... well...

  Clueless aren't you?
  We are in the midst of a 'civil war' so to speak between the MSM + D.C. Establishment and their owners/controllers VS the people... the wave of ant-establishment grows every year, in large part because everyone can communicate and learn facts without the media or political parties.
  
  But don't take my word for it... I realize many either support the 'establishment' because they are doing well with it, while others are unable to discern what is really going on, and are happy having their reality spoonfed to them by the likes of CNN and NY Times.
  
  So here, let the NY Times tell you a bit about it:
  https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/02/opin … cracy.html
  
  Now... the only mistake is they want to use this insight to lay blame on Russians, to ignore the truth of what they are saying... that people have the means to talk to one another in mass on the internet, and they can see for themselves what is going on, by Search, by YouTube, so when the MSM lies to them about something, or tells a falsehood, it is almost immediately found out... something that used to take weeks, months, sometime never to be uncovered is disproved overnight now.
  
  The Politicians the ones that have been in Washington for decades, are totally out of touch with their constituency, they are totally out of touch with how todays technology makes them incapable of escaping scrutiny.
  
  Politicians like Pelosi, Waters, McCain, are exposed for being out of touch, and uncaring of the needs and interests of Americans... for them its all politics and corruption and they all need to be removed from D.C.

  Where is the proof?
  Obama met with the Russians constantly, was he a traitor?
  The meetings with Flynn occurred AFTER Trump was already elected President, but not yet sworn in, was he a traitor?
  What about China? When the Clintons were funded by Chinese businessmen (and still are, as well as the Royal Saudi family) are they traitors for taking the money? What about Clinton selling Uranium to the Russians?
  This is, and always has been a witch hunt to undermine not just Trump, but the anti-establishment movement that put him into office. These corrupt politicians, and the various factions paying them and making them mega-millionaires, are fighting for their lives... the RNC and DNC is fighting for relevancy... they are trying to regain control of populace by convincing them that Trump is the most evil and vile human being alive, and that he and all his aids are Russian traitors.
  Do you ever open your mind up and think?
  Why are the Russians suddenly these big bad villains?
  Because they exposed some Clinton emails, and let Americans get a glimpse about what she and her campaign were really all about?
  Are we supposed to do what the Democrats are suggesting now and go to war with Russia?
  Are you truly wishing for the total break down of the American government, and for anarchy and chaos to rule in the street?
  Do you think Trump supporters are going to sit back and accept Trump being dragged out of the Presidency anymore than Obama supporters would have sat back and accepted his being thrown out?
  Do you think Trump supporters are going to believe he is a Russian conspirator anymore than Obama supporters believed he was not an American, and a Muslim conspirator?
  There would be no less of a reaction of total upheaval and violence if Trump is wrongly removed than if Obama was... unless you convince more than 90% of the country that a President is rightfully being removed... not 40% not 50%... 90% or more,,, then you are inviting civil unrest.
  "Elections have consequences"... Trump and his aids can be removed in 2020 by election... and not sooner.
  See from MY perspective, anyone that doesn't support the President, whether they like him or not, whether they believe him to be a Muslim Manchurian Candidate or a Russian Conspirator is a Traitor... the Democrats in Congress, their actions are traitorous, they are colluding against the lawfully elected Executive, they are conspiring against the best interests of all Americans by willfully and wantonly undermining the American government, and its President.
  If they were all impeached and thrown out of office, Pelosi, Schumer, Waters, etc. I would 100% support such an action.
  So to you, I am a traitor for supporting Trump... and to me you are a traitor because you do not.
  I am an ex-Army Ranger... if the call went out... I'd pick up my Rifle, my pistols and defend the lawfully elected President, and I would be just one of millions... if the Democrats and their ilk want to push it that far... how far are you willing to go to defend what you believe?

  First of all, I didn't say anyone colluded with Russia. I just said collusion was treason. Are you saying it's not treason as long as your guy gets the White House?
  
  Second, comparing meetings between Obama and Russians during Obama's presidency with Trump campaign aides meeting with them during the campaign is way beyond comparing apples and oranges.
  
  Yes, you are a traitor if you support collusion with Russians to get Trump in the White House. No, you aren't a traitor if you simply support Trump.
  
  You have so many other inaccurate attacks on me that they aren't worthy of a response.

  Both Pelosi and McCaskill who have pushed the matter on Sessions, and had stated they themselves never met with the Russian Ambassador, are now being shown to have lied about the matter... they met with the Russian Ambassador in the same capacity as Sessions had, so if he was colluding with Russians, so were they.
  
  Second, on Obama meeting with Russians not being the same, I am sure you are aware of the infamous clip where Obama said to Medvedev during a hot mike incident "This is my last election. After my election I will have more flexibility..." Sessions meeting with a Russian Ambassador while a Senator and in pursuit of his duties as such, and Obama meeting with Medvedev in pursuit of his duties as President... its all the same.
  
  I don't have any other innacurate attacks on you, I only had questions... other than the 'traitor' issue being couched in a way to get you to see another perspective in hopes to get you considering ramifications or alternative viewpoints... Sessions, nor anyone else in the Trump Administration is any more guilty of 'treason' with the Russians than Obama or Clinton (selling of Uranium and other issues aside)... at least there is no PROOF of such being given by anyone.
  
  So until there is concrete, serious, evidence of such... the actions being taken now by Pelosi, Watters, etc. is what I would call treasonous, and certainly impeachment worthy, for reasons noted above in previous posts.

  Hold on a minute Will Aspe, (sorry for butting in), I think you are more than a bit off-base with questioning the "drain the swamp" chorus.
  
  I would venture that Americans of all stripes, liberal, conservative, Independent, Democrat, or Republican, understand exactly what drain the swamp means. I would further venture that all, except maybe the Far Left, would agree that that swamp does need draining. As Americans, too many of us, again of all stripes, are extremely frustrated with our recent-memory politicians. In general that is. Of course we all think our particular state politicians are good guys. ;-)

  If you want specific facts, go search for them Google Search YouTube UK paper, Israel paper, whatever foreign flavor that suits your fancy.
  
  Type in: "Obama FISA spies on Trump" on Search or YoutTube and enjoy what comes up.
  
  One of the two sides will eventually win... the corrupt and criminal 'establishment' currently represented by Pelosi, Watters, McCain, you know, those politicians that have been sitting in Congress for over 20 years who are responsible for everything from NAFTA & Glass and Steagall act repeal 1999, to this current false accusations and obstructionism of the new President.
  
  Look at Pelosi, she has been there almost 30 years.
  In 2009, Pelosi reported a minimum net worth of $21.7 million.
  Pelosi was worth at least $35.2 million in the 2010 calendar year
  She reported a minimum of $43.4 million in assets in 2011.
  
  Politics are GOOD for those Congressmen and women who stick around.
  
  Trump wants to 'Drain the Swamp'... and the Swamp wants to drown Trump.

  That is not what was asked. Sessions volunteered the information and simply said he did not meet with the Russians, which was a lie.

  He was not acting as a congressman. He was representing the Trump campaign. It's an important difference.

What's fake about it? He met with the Russian Ambassador in a closed-door meeting and didn't disclose it during his confirmation hearing. So tell me why this is fake news.

  You are quite right. Not only didn't he disclose it, but he also denied any communications with the Russians during the campaign.
  
  And now we have six Trump campaign aides admitting they had contact with the Russians during the campaign. No doubt they just talked about the weather.

Pls pardon me for jumping in but I believe I may have some insight as to why many think that "drain the swamp" is a tired and impotent phrase. For one thing, it was presented as an innovative idea, when it is really a rehashing of an old slogan that had been rehashed by Ronald Reagan, but had actually been used as early as the beginning if the 20th century by anti-capitalism Socialists wanting to rid D.C. (which was built on a swamp, btw) of capitalists! Too funny. Still, many Trump supporters just love the chant. One, with an increasing following despite or perhaps because of his constant errors and mis-interpretations, even creditted Trump with "coining the phrase." He thinks it's just so darn clever!
