By Jeff Sessions’ Standard for Lying Under Oath, Jeff Sessions Lied Under Oath

[lafinjack]

The Washington Post is reporting that Attorney General Jeff Sessions had two conversations with the Russian ambassador to the United States during the run-up to the 2016 election, when Sessions was a U.S. senator and a prominent Trump campaign surrogate. During his confirmation process this January, Sessions twice denied having any such contact

I mean, it is major red flag when someone denies unethical activity in the answer to a question that was never asked.

Like, "Can you do your job in a non-partisan way?" shouldn't be answered with "I can't really talk about it, but I certainly didn't do anything wrong." Because nobody asked him that.

It's bizarre how they are all so terrible at lying. It makes me wonder what's going on, because there's this big general "Russia" thing that could be like 5 corrupt things going on, and they act so flustered anytime they are asked about it, I wonder if they're involved in some basic bribe or something and don't want to get linked to the DNC hack+related Russia interference. There are few reasons I can think of why a career politician would lie so poorly.

Not just a career politician. A lawyer in a hearing for Attorney General, like?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????.
