Also tweeted by Trump
"The first meeting Jeff Sessions had with the Russian Amb was set up by the Obama Administration under education program for 100 Ambs......"
"Just out: The same Russian Ambassador that met Jeff Sessions visited the Obama White House 22 times, and 4 times last year alone."
Is he the first ambassador ever to visit the White House?
Isn't that exactly what you would expect an ambassador to be doing?Quote:

I've figured it out. It's because he went to the White House.Quote:

30 minutes after exposing a scandal as big as Watergate, Trump is tweeting about Arnie in a TV show.
:hehe:
So why were the Democrats calling for the resignation of Jeff Sessions, when all he was doing is having a meeting with the Russian ambassador as part of his duties as a member of the Armed Services Commitee?Quote:

He's the President and he's spending his time tweeting about what he's just seen on telly. :hehe: :hehe:
If only Lloyd-George, Aneurin Bevan, Michael Foot and Disraeli were still around, they'd be brilliant on Twitter.Quote:

Possibly because he lied to the Senate when he said he had no meetings with the Russians - and didn't know about any other Team Trump meetings with them - claims that are unravelling by the hour.Quote:

Possibly because the Trump administration is starting to fall apart, and in the face of concerted lies and disinformation that seek to undermine more traditional and measured responses to Russiagate, the Democrats can't resist an open goal?
I don't know if any of those things are 100% true, but I do believe they are a better explanation than your 'alternative facts'.
I'll get back to you on this one, I haven't really looked past Trump's initial tweets that he posted earlier.Quote:

But if it’s true, it’s obviously extremely serious, and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?
Sessions: Senator Franken, I’m not aware of any of those activities. 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.
Franken: Very well.
I knew it , phew, thank God for real news,and not more of that fake stuff , which detracts attention from the real issues.Quote:
