Did he say he met the Russian ambassador in connection with the election? No he didn't. Therefore in response to the question he was asked about meeting with Russians in connection to the election the correct response was no. The mental gymnastics (or illness) from the left on this is unbelievable.  

 

First they try to portray him as a racist (a favorite tactic of the virtue signaling left) and that failed. Then they try to imply he met with the Russians in connection with the election and that failed. Then they try to twist the question he was asked to make it look like he lied when he answered the specific question he was asked truthfully and they accuse him of perjury.  That will also fail. One has to wonder what the next pathetic act of desperation will be.

 

The left would also have us believe that his meetings with the Russian ambassador in his official capacity as a Senator are somehow bad and that he is trying to hide them. First of all the meetings are public record that anyone can look up. Also one of them he attended at the request of Obama's State Department. The left has nothing here. This is getting old already. The left needs to stop playing games and get back to doing what they were elected to do or I am sure they will pay the price in the mid term elections.

Lets focus, I think all Americans have ADD. This is not about racial views, Impeachment or anything else.

Proving perjury will be impossible, arguing about it here is fruitless as the legal bar is high.

 

Here is more from the AP

Sen. Patrick Leahy, the senior Judiciary Committee Democrat, asked Sessions in a written questionnaire whether "he had been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after Election Day."

Sessions replied with one word: "No."

That statement could be examined under a separate "false statements" statute, which differs from perjury in that it applies to statements that are not made under oath. But prosecutors would still have to prove Sessions knowingly and willfully gave a misleading answer.

Proving that what Sessions said to the committee is untrue is easier...parse the words the way you want, blame the liberals, 

Why Sessions hid these facts?  It could be any reason including the way he wanted to parse the question.  Everyone knew the Russians were a hot topic from September on.  

 

Why can't the Trump folks just come forward with the details about their meetings?  Why ACT GUILTY when they did nothing?

In alternative fact reality, when you say something that is not true and recant it when you get caught, doesn't count as lying.
