Yes fair enough, "full of" is probably inaccurate, but I'd argue that relative to the tiny proportion of Israeli society it constitutes, the anti-Zionist crowd in these sectors receive a disproportionate amount of attention, for obvious reasons.

I prefer the Shabba Ranks defence personally, blaming all my problems on the needs associated with a trailer load a girls.
Bloomberg reported in November 2016 that Sessions and Manafort have known each other since the 70s.
In April 2016, Sessions' claims he's only got to know more about the guy in recent weeks and tries to make out he's not known Manafort for long.

That's not a statement you make if you have known someone for 40+ years. Even back then they were trying to play innocent.

Exactly - how is this guy not getting done for perjury ?
The WH response is total BS. He met the ambassador twice and did not once mention it. Why should we now believe it was in official capacity.
You wonder how much more the Dems have:
Some officials began asking specific questions at intelligence briefings, knowing the answers would be archived and could be easily unearthed by investigators — including the Senate Intelligence Committee, which in early January announced an inquiry into Russian efforts to influence the election.
I'd like to see Trump try and call this 'FAKE NEWS'
He almost certainly will.
Didnt White House already say it is a non-issue and there is no inconsistency in what Sessions said under the oath
Well they pretty much have to double-down now, don't they? If another one has to resign the pressure to have a full enquiry will be immense.
It doesn't matter what the White House says, they're the ones being investigated.
Heheh!
Nearly choked on my tea there, wasn't expecting the lovely little subtle dig at the end.Sessions’s written response during his testimony says it all. Full recusal and an independent investigation are both mandatory.
Thing is question specifically asks about the 2016 election...
He'll say I didn't lie....I didn't speak about the 2016 election.
He'll say I didn't lie....I didn't speak about the 2016 election.
John Sessions would be much better.
Exactly. Nothing to see here. Well nothing that Trump won't squirm out of.
Ceilings in the WH must be looking pretty low with everything that's been swept under the carpet
Has he not already said he can't remember what was discussed during the meeting? If so how can he state with certainty what the content of the discussion wasn't about.
I do agree though the "about the election" part is the get out of jail card he will be clinging on to for dear life but I believe his oral testimony had no such qualifier and the tricky part, the DOJ released a statement saying they did speak about the election. They're getting caught up in their own web of lies.
Semantics!
The Ruski loving cnut should be hung as a traitor to the State! They should have worked it out when he ordered stroganoff for his conformation dinner and opted to use a hammer and sickle instead of a knife and fork. Since taking office he's asked for the ending of Rocky IV to be changed for being unpatriotic.
Nah, he just says "I did not have communications with the Russians"... there was no qualifier about the discussions being about the elections. He's toast.
“If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?” Senator Franken asked him.
“Senator Franken, I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two during that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians and I’m unable to comment on it," Mr Sessions replied.

Interesting watch by a Russian-American Journo on the relationship between Puttie and Trumpster.
The interview was done a month an a bit ago. But its worth listening to her description of Putin traits and Trump's. (Long 35mins+ for you ADD characters.)

I don't think the administration can afford for another key appointee to fall because of Russian links. They're going to have to try to fight this one out.
The Republicans will do all they can to brush it under the carpet, they still need Trump to impose their ideological aim of destroying public bodies, shitting on the environment and bury any form of social service to appease their corporate masters. The absolute hypocritical, treacherous cnuts.
This.
The GOP will put up with anything, as long as they get their cuts.
Yeah, the cu*ts
Yeah, that looks to be the real money quote here. No real ambiguity to hide behind.
It's a good listen, thanks. Interesting drawing parallels between Trump and Putin.
All the Russia links reminds of Trump in his campaign claiming he'd heard "Putin refers to Obama by the N word" as a way of playing to the racist crowd while not blatantly doing that himself.
Fairly big deal.
Yup...he's toast.
I'm a bit late here and haven't read much into this side of things, but what hard evidence exists to support the view that Putin/Russia hacking took place during the US election? Just curious as it's something I've read a lot recently.

Nah...this sounds like Chaffetz and Co. giving him an easy out.
He'll explain away his 'poor memory' and then recuse himself from the investigation into the Russian stuff. End result - he remains AG.
Sorry for the lazy Wikipedia link but there is quite a lot there to digest, there isn't just the hacking of the DNC but Trump's picks for his cabinet all seem to have a network of ties to Russia.

This part deal solely with the evidence of the hacking;
There's a lot of truth to that.
That's okay; thank you. I have a hard time these days accepting the mainstream narrative on anything to be honest but I'll give it a read.
Another campaign prop with Russian connections:
He was there the same day Flynn met Putin.
He was there the same day Flynn met Putin.
Someone from Wisconsin yesterday said about Clarke - "Dude's never in Milwaukee' .
Which sort of underscores the questioning of what Clarke's motives are. He's a fecking local sheriff of a relatively small American city in the middle of the country. What the feck is he doing traveling to Russia and spending half his time doing interviews on Fox and Friends.
Sticking my neck out .But i'll be surprised if Sessions survives this.
