When asked via Senate questionaire if Sessions has met with any Russian officials during the campaign he said "no". He lied then and he lied under oath.
The Senate was so concerned about this that they called a hearing and has Sessions come back and grilled him under oath again.
No I'm not being disingenuous but YOU are minimizing the attorney General lying under oath 
There is a reason that everyone who has contacts with Russia in Drumpfs administration lies about their contact. |
What gets me is what Sessions said under oath...
Sessions was not asked if he worked for the Trump campaign, nor was he asked if he met with the Russians. He was asked:
"....if there was any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Drumpf campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign."
Instead of answering the question, he explained that he was part of the Trump campaign but that he did not meet with the Russians.
He didn't answer a question. He made a statement. In that statement he made a direct lie.
We impeached President Clinton over a lie under oath over a very trivial and unrelated matter, where no law was broken. Now with Sessions he is telling lies about a the highest form of treason at the highest level of government.
No big deal though.
