The evidence. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/06/us/politics/document-russia-hacking-report-intelligence-agencies.html What, in it, would you like to dispute? If the argument is "I can't see the classified sections so it's all made up" then there's no point talking with you.

Sessions is an untrustworthy reactionary gently caress who is unqualified to hold the office he does, what he did or didn't say to an agent of the Russian state is entirely secondary to that.

Holy poo poo the content of the meetings is entirely the hinge on whether or not what he said was perjury because he was obviously answering Al Franken's question not talking about in general out of the blue. It's like if someone asked me "hey have any Russians talked to you about treason against the USA?" and I go "no I haven't talked to any Russians wtf?" and then laters someone goes "AHA YOU TALKED TO IVAN BORLAV A YEAR AGO LIAR LIAR LIAR!!!" Well I didn't lie if Ivan Borlav was just telling me about a great new deal on Russian Ushankas. It's not a lie because "I haven't talked to any Russians" was specifically in the context of the question that was just asked.

The second was a September conversation, which the department likened to the more than 25 conversations Sessions had with foreign ambassadors last year as a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Like bro come the gently caress on lmao what substance could either of those two "meetings" have had? That first one is just like "hey here's a group of foreign envoys let's shake hands"

Moridin920 posted:sounds like Saudi Arabia to me I think it was in the 2008 democratic primary that obama was asked if he would meet with foreign leaders that were hostile to the US (like Iran or Cuba) and he basically said he would and the right went batshit insane over it while the left rolled their eyes. The times they are a changin' LGD posted:Protip: you can maintain a healthy skepticism about the degree of Russian involvement in the election while still thinking Sessions should be removed from office or, at a bare minimum, removed from overseeing any investigations/prosecutions focused on the area that he lied about under oath. This is basically my position. Lol if people still buy into the Russia thing, but sessions likely did perjured himself or at the least omitted information necessary. I hope there's more investigations and information that come out so we can know.

Knight posted:We already have direct confirmation of russian involvement in the election. We monitored conversations of them arguing over how far to go with interfering with our elections and they were responsible for a campaign of cyber attacks on state electoral systems in September. There may be a Benghazi-like effect on the public where if you say "Russian election interference" everyone thinks we're talking about their own personal collection of rumors and half-truths ("they rigged the vote!"), but there is no real question as to whether Russia meddled with our elections. Even congressional Republicans accept that, and it's pretty funny that you're trying to paint that as a conspiracy theory while simultaneously arguing that 17 different intelligence agencies only came to that conclusion as a result of conspiracy. so theres that too
