Back when we were simply calling it the FBI, the "Deep State" (scare quotes!) investigated Hillary Clinton in the most public way possible and reported every minute detail to a compliant corporate press.

Right, and also, the "context" doesn't even matter the way that Trump supporters imagine, since Sessions didn't answer the question as asked. For example, let's use a different question, and see how this "context" defense holds up:

Franken: Russians like to eat Big Macs, how about you?

Sessions: I have been called a Big Mac eater before, and I did not have communications with the Russians.

Media: That's not true, you met with the Russian ambassador.

Sessions: Okay, yes, I did have communications with the Russians, but not in my capacity as a Big Mac eater. We never discussed Big Macs!

now this is a good analogy

I thought the whole idea of Obamacare repeal was to make it more affordable, now suddenly people have to choose between health care and their iPhone, what gives?

I'm not an American but I think the most important thing is that it's more affordable for those earning over $200k.

It's not a health care bill it's a giant tax cut for millionaires & billionaires. It just has "Health Care Act" in the name.

Chaffetz admitted his comment was not so smooth. Maybe he should hire Trump as an editor.

Koch types absolutely HATE that 3.8% investment income tax. Almost as much as the thought of black people wearing baggy clothes while listening to rap music on their Obamaphones.

Seriously, as always with these pieces of ****, it's about money.

no, I think it will still hurt ppl making 200k. may hurt them more than others.

So the CIA has an Information Security department. Who would've thunk it.

i feel very important and good knowing cia is listening to everything i say all the time

Is that a legal technicality or a semantics technicality? Asking for a friend.

This really is the worst take. You literally could not be more wrong about anything ever then you are about the Sessions thing.

SMALL TABLE ALERT

Take back my last post. This is the worst take ever. The sessions thing is only second worst now. You deserve to be in the Guinness Book of World Records - Worst Hot Takes Category.

lol yeah everyone in that thread is now 100% convinced that the Russians had nothing to do with DNC hacks and CIA actually did the hacking and then tried to pin it on the Russians because reasons

In order to get Donald Trump elected and then to discredit American democracy

Unlike your example he did answer the question if you put it into proper context.

Franken asked about " a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government" if true what are you going to do about it?

Sessions answer basically denied knowledge of the premise of the question ie "I am not aware of any of those activities", Then talked about whether he fits into the context of the question ie some called me a surrogate, then denied himself having such contacts. Then ended the answer with I am not going to comment on what I am going to do about future cases.

But your right for the Left's version to hold up his comments had to be totally unrelated to the answer given.

Right? Let's hack DNC, pin it on Mother Russia, then Trump will get elected and do nothing about it! LONG GAME BITCHES

All we need to know now is how the CIA managed to fake all those meetings between Trump's people and Russian intel/diplomatic officials and then convince Trump's people to admit to them after previously denying them and we'll have this caper cracked!

What a ****show. This thing is DOA. This is what Republican governing looks like. Not only are these guys heartless scum, they are complete ****ing morons with no idea how insurance or health care economics work.
