"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."
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.
Possibly because he then lied about meeting the Russian Ambassador in his role as a member of the Armed Services Committee - when no other members have ever held meetings with the Russian Ambassador in that capacity as it is the Foreign Relations Committee that has those contacts - and in fact was acting as a leading member of the Trump election campaign.
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'.
Here is the official transcript:
Franken: CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week, that included information that “Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.” These documents also allegedly say “there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.” Again, I’m telling you this as it’s coming out, so you know. 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.
Is he the first ambassador ever to visit the White House?
30 minutes after exposing a scandal as big as Watergate, Trump is tweeting about Arnie in a TV show.
I don't think you know how Twitter works. Trump is media savvy, he light's a fire and moves on. Now the MSM will have to report the the wiretap story, and various enquires will ensue, and with many millions knowing about it, it's won't be so easy to sweep it under the carpet.

Its all Blair's fault
Please explain more about what I've got wrong about Twitter's operation.
Ah, so you're talking about how Trump uses Twitter, not 'how Twitter works'.
Interesting what you say about how MSM have to report the story now that Trump has tweeted it. You probably know that Fox (MSM) had just broadcast it before he tweeted? And a little later they showed the Arnie story?
He's the President and he's spending his time tweeting about what he's just seen on telly.
