How soon before we hear "they were taking a piss in the same bathroom exchanging unheard words to anyone but them while also eyeing each other's private parts".
I got dibs on that being a headline before long.

Jeff Sessions is new at this. Give him a break.

Involved with a hell of a lot of interests all over the globe. Is attending a dinner a contact?
Trying to make hay over him attending two dinners and two clients is pretty pathetic.
As per fricking usual.

You wanna go that route? Find out who else this dude was working for at the time. I would not rust much that comes out of the Daily Beast and Tina Brown's mouth and I certainly would not trust anything coming out of the mouth or arse from the Guardian

here's the full guardian link: LINK
"Asked whether Sessions was unfamiliar with Burt’s role as a lobbyist for Russian interests – a fact that is disclosed in public records – or had any reason to be confused about the issue, Burt told the Guardian that he did not know.
Several media reports published before Trump’s election in November noted that Burt advised then candidate Trump on his first major foreign policy speech, a role that brought him into contact with Sessions personally."

There's a Politico story from October 2016 on this exact same BREAKING SESSIONS PERJURED! story. Have at it.

In addition to helping shape Trump’s speech, Burt attended two dinners this summer hosted by Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions, who had been named chairman of Trump’s national security committee. Burt was invited to discuss issues of national security and foreign policy, and wrote white papers for Sessions on the same subjects, according to Burt and another person with knowledge of the situation.
According to a person with direct knowledge of the situation, one of the papers was about “key foreign policy themes” and another was about “national security decision-making and structure; relationships between Defense, State, [the National Security Council] and so on and how to sort of think about the transition.” According to a second person with knowledge of the situation, Sessions was “very impressed” with the latter paper. A spokesman for Sessions did not respond to a request for comment.
Sessions didn't deny that the meetings happened.

So fricking what. THse people ALL hang out and comingle over and over and over again and seriously not realizing or remembering that one was at a particular dinner or whatever.
Remember when several Democrats claimed they had never met with the Russian Ambassador and oops turns out that they all met him several times over the course of their time in DC?
This is the sort of nonsense that gets ignored on security clearance forms because no one gives a frick if you had dinner at Denny's one time when the Ambassador to Russia was enjoying his pancakes three tables over.

This is the equivalent of my meeting with Sessions with Russian dressing on my tie.

As I said yesterday, the Russians have been playing along with the "collusion" story since Hillary invented it. The Russians WANT people here to believe this crap. The WaPo reported that Kislyak was caught on a wiretap telling his superiors that Kushner wanted a "back channel" of communication. That whole story came from Russian officials talking to each other. Kushner himself was never "caught" doing this or even talking about it. It was a completely made-up story from the Russians.
Folks, the Russians aren't stupid -- they've been in the cloak and dagger spy game with America for decades and they know their "wires are tapped." Why would Kislyak tell his superiors about this dastardly plan over insecure phone lines? Yeah, he wouldn't, that is UNLESS he was planting disinformation he wanted our IC to actually believe.
So there's two options here:
1) Russian intelligence officials are incompetent and are chatting away on their iPhones about secret plans with Trump. They are too lazy to talk about this face-to-face in a secure bug swept room.
2) The Russians are feeding disinformation to our IC in HOPES that it would leak to our press (it did). They figured the Democrats would happily believe the collusion story.
I'm going with option #2 because I know how paranoid and careful Putin is with protecting Russian information. For example, a few years ago he removed all computers from the Kremlin and forced people to use typewriters. Why? He was concerned that NSA had infiltrated Kremlin computers (and he was almost certainly correct). Story was from 2013: LINK
