Its refreshing to see all the Hillary supporters finally taking things like ethics and perjury seriously.

Ahh, here it is! campfire posted this almost identically a couple hours ago (I think he said "Good to see all the Hillary slappies caring about lying") but deleted it in shame; you can see he's still smarting about all those Benghaziiiii investigations liberals laughed at!

Sick of people trolling about Hillary and ethics. MANY of us here and across the country voted for Hillary because we deemed her less bad than Trump, not because we thought she was the most ethical person ever. I will clearly state that I prefer lies and ethics violations related to corruption/corporate cronyism than related to potential treason/foreign countries we're geo-politically hostile with.

Beyond that, given a choice between two liars, I'll take the one who's not going to screw over everyone who's not a white male.

Like Matt Yglesias said, it'd be weird to make a large policy change and not meet with the Russians in some capacity. The problem is all these guys keep saying they haven't met or didn't discuss things with the Russians and later we find out they did.

So he refuses himself from the campaign investigation

But there is no campaign investigation because they didn't talk about the campaign

Pretty likely that the investigation of Trump and Sessions is a separate investigation, and one he isn't refusing himself from. I mean this is the guy that organizes the investigations and he's guilty as hell so why would it be any different

It's not illegal for a Senator to speak w the Russian Ambassador. So why lie about it under oath? Makes no sense, unless...

Mr Ambassador, y'all have also hacked the RNC. I just want to say, it's the GOP who will be your friends if they're in power, not the Dems.

"So you don't want us to release the info during the campa--"

Boy I tell ya, I really like church, don't you? The world needs more Christians and fewer dope smokers. Anyway, I gotta run. Kisses!

And it's the same guy. What a coincidence!

"Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and now a senior adviser, also participated in the meeting at Trump Tower with Mr. Flynn and Sergey I. Kislyak, the Russian ambassador. But among Mr. Trump’s inner circle, it is Mr. Flynn who appears to have been the main interlocutor with the Russian envoy — the two were in contact during the campaign and the transition, Mr. Kislyak and current and former American officials have said."

but trump has been saying none of his people met or spoke to russians? how is this not a direct contradiction?

GOP falling all over itself praising Sessions for recusing himself hours after saying there was nothing to this story. Case in point:
