Ex-GOP rep: Russia diplomat is likely no spy

“Apparently, after Sessions finished speaking, a small group of ambassadors-including the Russian ambassador-approached the senator as he left the stage and thanked him for his remarks.”

“Yes, that happens”, he said.

“There’s this pattern, which you appear to be part of, in which there’s this kind of freaky disassembling about the basic facts of the matter”, Hayes said. The revelation directly contradicts Sessions’ sworn testimony to Congress in January that he did not meet with any Russian officials in the run-up to November’s election. “Everything I’ve seen, he’s been a Russian diplomat”.

The notion that the alt-radical left is pushing, that Sessions committed perjury during his confirmation hearing, is ridiculous.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says the US political scandal over contacts between the Russian ambassador and members of Trump’s administration looks like “a witch hunt”.

The meeting was 20 minutes long, and White House spokesperson Hope Hicks told the Times that Kushner has not met with the ambassador since.

Page’s situation echoes Sessions’s.

The transcript of Sessions’s remarks shows the fuller context of the exchange and that it was regarding the campaign.

In the wake of Pence and Trump praising Putin, Russian media reported that “Moscow expects Washington to display political will on building good relations with Russia after the presidential elections, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said”.

Page stepped down from Trump’s campaign in September 2016 amid allegations that he had engaged in private communications with top Russian officials. President Donald Trump: “I wasn’t aware at all”.

FRANKEN: Very well. Without divulging sensitive information, do you know about this or know what compromising personal and financial information the Russians claim to have? ‘I never directly briefed Donald Trump. They will, however, bear witness to yet another gaggle of over-eager Democrats trying to destroy a President whose policies are becoming more popular by the day. Page just couldn’t give Hayes a straight answer on meeting the Russian Ambassador. Foreign diplomats to the United States likely expect that their activities will be monitored by USA authorities in the same manner that American diplomats are monitored in countries like Russian Federation. His posts have included the Soviet mission to the United Nations; Russia’s Permanent Representative to NATO; Russian ambassador to Belgium; and Deputy Minster of Foreign Affairs.

In the released transcript of Maxine Waters’ recent interview, the Congresswoman has openly revealed that Jeff Sessions had dug a hole for himself by knowingly refusing to disclose the conversations he supposedly had with the Russian officials.
