sorry to interrupt the fap fest again:

"Shortly after CNN ran their story, which quoted a Washington attorney who claimed that he would advise a client to disclose all official meetings, the Justice Department issued a press release firing back at the implication of wrongdoing.

Attributed to DOJ Deputy Director of Public Affairs Ian Prior, the response read:

As a United States Senator, the Attorney General met hundreds—if not thousands—of foreign dignitaries and their staff. In filling out the SF-86 form, the Attorney General’s staff consulted with those familiar with the process, as well as the FBI investigator handling the background check, and was instructed not to list meetings with foreign dignitaries and their staff connected with his Senate activities."

Well then there should be Senate documentation of such meetings and their purpose. Does any such documentation exist?

There were other Senators present and yes they were documented. How do think all of this screeching started?

That should be even easier to verify. Sessions' people are saying that the reason they did not list those meetings is that they were told not to by the FBI investigator handling the background check.

That ought to be easy enough to check. They just need to say who that was and he can be asked, did you tell Sessions' staff that they did not need to list meetings with foreign dignitaries and their staff connected with his Senate activities?

If the FBI investigator confirms he said that, then I'd be inclined to give Sessions the benefit of the doubt that its innocent and needs no further inquiry.

If, however, the FBI agent says he did not tell them that, then further inquiry needs to be made as to why these meetings were not listed.

Should not be that difficult.

Exactly and if this is a lie Sessions needs to resign.
 
It could very well innocent in nature but to not disclose something involving Russia at a time when we are investigating everything Russia is stupid. By not freely covering his ass in the official government "CYA" document you can choose: Is he stupid or criminal.

Depends. If he just cavalierly assigned it to staff to take care of, with no oversight by him, the mistake could be by them. If on the other hand he knew of it, and especially if he is the source of the claim that he was told not to list it and that is not true, then that is a different matter.

That's why I say that, if the FBI agent conducting the investigation does not confirm that he told them not to list those things, then that is a problem and needs to be investigated.

Yeah, should be easy to verify.
 
Obama either ran a tight ship or he ran amok while the media covered for him. I'd say the later knowing how the media is behaving with this administration.
