Россия and Трумпцаре

He was asked about campaign surrogates and he referred to himself as a surrogate of the campaign from time to time when answering the question.

He answered as a surrogate for the campaign he hadn't had any communications with Russia.

Here, via C-SPAN, is the transcript:

Franken: CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week, that included information that “Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.” These documents also allegedly say “there was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.” Again, I’m telling you this as it’s coming out, so you know. But if it’s true, it’s obviously extremely serious, and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?

Sessions: Senator Franken, I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it.

Franken: Very well.

I do not know how it got into the press. Do you, or does anyone?
Paranoid tweet? That seems a popular method for dissemination these days.
Russian hack?

Someone leaked it, and I sure the leaker and the reporter know.

That is not what Sessions said according to the article you posted. I have been called a surrogate. Again a small difference, but a difference.

I'm agreeing with you it's the transcript of the question.

“Based on the information available to us, we see no indications that Trump Tower was the subject of surveillance by any element of the United States government either before or after Election Day 2016,” Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) said.

Sad!

There was one?


The fact that Trump feels compelled to hold campaign rallies 1/4 of the way through his first year doesn't worry me. It confirms that he is floundering and won't last. So I find that kind of comforting, actually.

Comical. You just described Obama.

Woah, sick burn, bro.

If you can find Obama events paid for by his re-election campaign as early as March, 2009 please share because I can't find any.

Right.....except.....maybe the GCHQ might not be honest about something like that.

Exclusive: NSA pays £100m in secret funding for GCHQ

The leaked papers reveal that the UK's biggest fear is that "US perceptions of the … partnership diminish, leading to loss of access, and/or reduction in investment … to the UK".

When GCHQ does supply the US with valuable intelligence, the agency boasts about it. In one review, GCHQ boasted that it had supplied "unique contributions" to the NSA during its investigation of the American citizen responsible for an attempted car bomb attack in Times Square, New York City, in 2010.

Who cares? Now you redefine your point to who paid?

How about who lied? Directly to the American public over and over again about impending legislation. Did you care about that then?

Do you care about those Obama lies now?

Do you?

yes or no

Oh boy. Goody! Another 'yes or no' question about Obama!

I assume you mean the 'you can keep your doctor' 'lie? Do I care about that now- nope.

Does this pertain to Trump's constant lying now? Nope.
