Investigate Russia with special prosecutor
Mr. Simes noted that Mr. Sessions, then a senator from Alabama, was there, but he did not notice whether he and the ambassador spoke at that time.
The Post conveniently forgot to mention one of the revelations to come out of that “cyber campaign”: the Democratic National Committee rigged its primaries in favor of Hillary Clinton, which forced the resignation of DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on the opening day of the 2016 Democratic Party National Convention.
Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, the Republican chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said in an emailed statement Monday that Sessions took “quick action to clear up confusion about his statement” and there are no plans to make him return to testify before the panel, as some Democrats have demanded.
On the March 5 Meet the Press, NBC’s Chuck Todd asked Clapper if there was any evidence of collusion between Russian Federation and the Trump campaign, to which Clapper replied “not to my knowledge”.
During his January confirmation hearing, Sen. “Not suspicions, not contacts – but evidence of collusion?”
“I’m not aware of any of those activities”. The CIA-FBI agrees Russian cyberattacks helped Trump win the election.
In the new survey, 34% call Russian Federation a “very serious” threat, up from 21% in May 2016.
However, this was quickly proven false.
McCaskill later clarified the original tweet, saying she meant she never met privately with the ambassador. “The judiciary institutions are not created to deal with bad-faith actors, they fold, right?” she added. Moreover, a close reading of Hill’s statements to Remnick and Osnos suggests, contrary to the conclusions the two journalists seem to draw, that she does not subscribe to the anti-Trump line on his approach to Russian Federation. British MI6 intelligence officer Christopher Steel claims the Russians have “salacious videos”, enabling them to blackmail Trump.
“Well…he’s talking about to his knowledge”, the Minority Leader responded. The Russian embassy did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The exchange can be viewed here.
However, the steady stream of news about investigations into those contacts doesn’t appear to have affected President Donald Trump’s approval rating, which ticked up only one percentage point – 44% to 45% – from January. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) smiling over donuts and coffee with Vladimir Putin.
Trump and his team have denied ties to Russian Federation over 20 times.
Members of Congress aren’t the only ones meeting with Kislyak.
Asked on Monday by ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos on Good Morning America whether President Trump accepted the Federal Bureau of Investigation director’s reported denial of his wiretap claim, White House spokesperson Sarah Huckabee Sanders said, “you know, I don’t think he does, George”. “But the Democrats” desperate campaign of obfuscation may be working, at least among its core supporters. Mr Trump has dismissed such suggestions and said he has had no links Russian officials. Of the 22 times included in the report, most of the appointments had five or fewer visitors.
There is little doubt a cabal within the Central Intelligence Agency is unhappy with the outcome of the 2016 presidential election, as are the mainstream media. But Trump’s counterattack has, oddly enough, made the Democrats look inconsistent.
This investigation needs to be under the purview of a special prosecutor who is willing to follow the facts wherever they may lead.
If Democrats get their way, Sessions would not be the first cabinet member to resign following interactions with Kislyak.
Page is clearly insane and did a wonderful job displaying this for almost a half hour of prime time when what was once the Trump Campaign foreign policy advisor and the founder and managing partner of Global Energy Capital, a “consulting” firm specializing in the Russian and Central Asian oil and gas business, told the host he spoke to the very same Sergey Kislyak during the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.
