Alternate facts

According to court filings unsealed this week, Trump campaign foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos suggested at a March 2016 meeting that he could use his connections to set up a meeting between Putin and Trump with the then-GOP candidate's national security team. An Instagram picture on Trump's account shows Sessions attended the meeting at which Papadopoulos made the suggestion.

But Sessions, who was a top surrogate for Trump during the campaign, did not disclose these discussions despite a persistent set of questions from Democrats and some Republicans about Russia during multiple hearings on Capitol Hill.

Asked under oath at a Senate hearing last month if he believed Trump campaign surrogates had communications with Russians, Sessions replied, "I did not and I'm not aware of anyone else that did, and I don't believe it happened."

There is interest from Democrats on both the Senate intelligence and judiciary committees for Sessions to formally clarify his remarks made before both committees given what's now known about his interactions with Papadopoulos, a Senate aide told CNN. The source said the request for clarification could take several forms, such as having Sessions testify again or submitting a clarification in writing, but that has not yet been determined.

On Wednesday, lawmakers from both parties said Sessions needs to explain the discrepancies.

You mean, give him a chance to fix his lies.

It is a crime to lie under oath to Congress.

And that might matter if people who do it (I'm looking at you, James Clapper) pay any consequences for it.

 ...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.

UPDATE:

I certainly do.  And it was obvious cover.  The guilty often shout the loudest about having their integrity doubted.  His entire testimony was pathetic obfuscation, deflection and faux indignent outrage.  And what I find so funny now is that he's trapped himself by lying that he didn't know anything about anyone on the campaign talking to Russians. Now, since there is pictorial proof that he was at the vey meeting where Papadopoulus offered help from the Russians, the story is that Sessions put the nix on the deal.  How's he gonna say he was there but nixed it and not admit  that he perjured himself in his Senate testimony?
