Sessions was asked under oath if he had any contact with the Russian government. If he was really talking to the Russian ambassador in the capacity of a senator rather than as a Trump surrogate he should have said that rather than perjuring himself and saying that he had no contact with the Russians. It indicates that he had communications with the ambassador he was trying to hide.

The New York Times? The Washington Post?

Podesta's emails (it isn't like we weren't caught tapping Merkel and Roussef's cellphones), Crimea (no insurgency to date, and they declared independence with an eye towards granting Russian citizenship in 1992), Syria (aren't we bombing Syrian targets too? Didn't we help prop up the Bahraini government when their citizens rose up, including greenlighting a Saudi invasion?)? Or perhaps just the regular drumbeat of propaganda from the media?
Oh look, whataboutism! It's becoming increasingly clear that Russia is promoting Fascist Alt-Right movements throughout the West, and that they are influencing the Trump administration.

I thought better of Republicans and thought they would put country over party, but now it's clear that they'll sell us out to the Russians for an extra buck.
