there was infinity years of outrage in benghazi

never underestimate voter stupidity if you say something enough

that was because republicans controlled the house

the best thing democrats can do is to keep the few investigations that are actually going on running so republicans can't just say "we looked into it, found nothing (because we didn't actually look hard) case closed"

if dems can retake the house in 2018 then they can (and should because gently caress republicans) benghazi trump all the way until 2020

Emails released to The Indianapolis Star, part of the USA TODAY Network, in response to a public records request show Pence communicated via his personal AOL account with top advisers on topics ranging from security gates at the governor’s residence to the state’s response to terror attacks across the globe. In one email, Pence’s top state homeland security adviser relayed an update from the FBI regarding the arrests of several men on federal terror-related charges.

I think it's been said before, but it bears repeating: why just answer no? Why would Jeff Sessions risk being found to have not told the whole truth?

Just like with Flynn, I'm baffled why Sessions didn't just tell his side of the story early and avoid having it leaked, making it look like he had something to hide.

Why not just respond, "No, I did not meet with any Russian official while working for the Trump campaign, about the campaign. However, in the interest of full disclosure on this matter of great national interest, I did meet with the ambassador twice last year as part of my Senate duties, and while the election was not the purpose of our meetings, I cannot recall if it came up in our conversation briefly."

to be fair it was like 38 pages of questions but I don't think you can use that excuse when you're being confirmed as AG

A recent NBC/Wall Street Journal poll found 53% of Americans agreed Congress should investigate contact between Russia and President Donald Trump's inner circle believed to have happened before the election.

Only 25% of people who responded to the NBC/WSJ poll believed Congress should stay out of it, and 21% did not have an opinion, the poll found.

quote:

No, Gov. Mike Pence and his wife, Karen, are not stranded in the Philippines and don’t need you to wire them money.

Pence’s personal email was hacked by a scammer asking for money, and Pence has since changed the AOL account.

“Although I hear the Philippines is lovely this time of year, you may be relieved to know that we are safely in the Hoosier state and quite well,” Pence said in an email Wednesday to those who had received the fake communication. “All kidding aside, I do apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.”

The counterfeit email claimed the Pences had been attacked on their way back to their hotel, losing their money, bank cards and mobile phone.

“I’m urgently in need of some money to pay for our hotel bills and my flight ticket home, will definitely REFUND as soon as back home,” the fake email said. “Kindly let us know if you would be able to help us out so we can forward you the details required for wire transfer.”

So I guess the Indy Star knew of this scam story for a while now, and the new news was that the AOL account was being used to conduct official Gubernatorial business through.
