I never understood that. Both of the "meetings" that he had with Kislyak were innocuous at best. One at a Convention speech and another in his capacity as a committee chair. I guess because he did not divulge it as being part of the campaign when he was not part of the campaign

1) He wasn't chair of the armed services committee, only a sub-committee.
2) No one else on the armed services committee had a private one on one meeting with the Russian Ambassador.
3) He has conveniently forgotten nearly everything they talked about in that meeting.
4) When asked by McCain (the actual chair of the committee and someone with his own memory issues) Sessions could only remember one topic related to committee work that came up, and that was because he talked to a different ambassador the day before.
5) He completely forgot about the meeting two times, once on his security form and another when testifying in front of Congress.

Oh shut up. Kislyak visited the Hill over 20x from 2009-2016. Ambassadors meet with Congressmen all the time.

Because just maybe they were innocuous meetings about nothing of significance to Sessions. Not to mention, two of the three "meetings" weren't meetings at all as they were simply at the same banquets/luncheons listening to some Heritage Foundation speakers.

This is you being intellectually dishonest. He was advised that he didn't have to disclose meetings and across the room acquaintances that happened while he was in the capacity as a Senator performing committee business. And, his answer to Al Franken was bastardized way out of context and you damn well know it. He said he didn't meet any Russian officials under the auspice of a Trump Surrogate, which is 100% true.

You sir, are intellectually dishonest and have shite credibility in this argument as a result.
