Please let's not defend Sessions like he did something wrong. He did nothing wrong. The Dems are furious that HRC lost and Trump's speech sent them into Russian panic mode. Dismiss the Dems tell them to get over it, we won. Don't say well McCaskill spoke to Russians. They want to make people believe Session/Trump admin involved with Russians and not legitimate president. No Russian evidence, even Obama said no involvement.

I do not know if Sessions did anything wrong or not. None of us do. I tend to think that he did not because of his track record.

That said, he should have just been honest when asked about it, especially in light of the fact that the RUSSIAN BS meme has been out there for months.

If you actually look at the entire transcript of that particular hearing, the vast majority was Sessions answering questions about a questionnaire he had submitted. In that questionnaire was a question asking if Sessions had met with Russian officials and discussed the campaign. He gave a one-word answer "No." Later on Franken asked him a word-salad question talking about that Buzzfeed/CNN pissplay story, and Sessions answer is to a particular part of that question and not "Did you ever talk to Russian officials". Really, once you read the transcript it is a big ball of nothing. Sessions was never asked if he had past contacts with Russian officials. That is the lie that the WaPo and NYT stories make by omitting nearly all the context.
