@revelette1,
Quote:WASHINGTON — Attorney General Jeff Sessions failed to disclose meetings with Russian officials when he applied for security clearance because he was told not to do so by advisers and the F.B.I., a Justice Department spokesman said Wednesday.
{Sessions was asked on] an official government form to note any contact he or family members had with foreign governments or their representatives over the past seven years.
“As a United States senator, the attorney general met hundreds — if not thousands — of foreign dignitaries and their staff,” Ian Prior, a spokesman for the Justice Department, said in a statement. “The attorney general’s staff consulted with those familiar with the process, as well as the F.B.I. investigator handling the background check, and was instructed not to list meetings with foreign dignitaries and their staff connected with his Senate activities.”
Nothing to see here
. Nobody would expect thousands of names of foreginers that Sessions talked to in the process of fulfilling his duties as a senator to be individually listed on a boilerplate questionnaire like this. Even the FBI investigator handling the background check told him not to.
Oh, wait, I forgot..some slanderous cheese-eating drama queen would:
Quote:Democratic lawmakers demanded Mr. Sessions’s resignation on Wednesday. “He’s lied under oath,” Senator Kamala Harris, Democrat of California, wrote on Twitter. “He’s misled on security clearance forms. It’s simple — he should not be the Attorney General.”
See the slant here?: " Attorney General Jeff Sessions failed to disclose meetings with
Russian officials..."
Why does this rag only mention RUSSIAN officials, ya figure? There were thousands, from all parts of the world, that were not, for good reason, listed.
Why didn't they only say, for example: " Attorney General Jeff Sessions failed to disclose meetings with
French officials..."?
Hmmm?
