For those that draw parallel’s to Clinton’s lying, I should point out that he lost his law license because an attorney is held to a higher standard than not violating criminal law: he has a general duty of candor that exceeds mere technically correct but deceptive answers. In my view, it was absolutely proper to sanction him like that.
And Sessions is an attorney. I think it would be entirely proper to explore a bar complaint for this disgraceful conduct.
Oh those aren’t for Armed Services Committee members; they’re for the service providers. You know, the ones with accountability but without voting privileges.
No, I would want to ensure he is NEVER nominated or appointed for any future high level federal position… for national security reasons. People at much much lower levels are denied clearances, for a lot less.
At a guess, he’s licensed to practice in Alabama, at a minimum. So far as I know, any person can complain to the state bar there with evidence of an ethical violation.
For a successful complaint, I expect that an attorney would be helpful in drafting the complaint and exhibits that show the violation.
Doesn’t seem to be very good at it. Wants to protect himself from possible accusations of perjury by taking the good ol’ “Don’t remember” line, then proceeds to supply minor details of the meeting. Apparently, to show off how good his memory is. Maybe he’s just the Ol’ Country Chicken from Futurama?
Pathetic twisting of facts by Democrats desperate to pin something on Sessions:
"So what are the two meetings that Sessions had? The first came at a conference on “Global Partners in Diplomacy,” where Sessions was the keynote speaker. Sponsored by the U.S. State Department, The Heritage Foundation, and several other organizations, it was held in Cleveland during the Republican National Convention.
The conference was an educational program for ambassadors invited by the Obama State Department to observe the convention. The Obama State Department handled all of the coordination with ambassadors and their staff, of which there were about 100 at the conference.
Apparently, after Sessions finished speaking, a small group of ambassadors—including the Russian ambassador—approached the senator as he left the stage and thanked him for his remarks. That’s the first “meeting.” And it’s hardly an occasion—much less a venue—in when a conspiracy to “interfere” with the November election could be hatched."
