Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

        He and his staff aren't really reliable on details with the FBI, in case you haven't noticed.

        It could also mean someone at FBI was sucking up to the new boss. Just seems like a detail that needs to be chased down.

        We'll need to learn who that FBI guy was but if true it does excuse Sessions somewhat.

        Not even if it is true. Not even if this agent had a JD. As they teach you in law school, mistake of the law is no defense.

        But two of the known meetings weren't in his capacity as Senator. One was on a trip paid for with Trump campaign funds. Weird lie.

        But wasn't at least one meeting pretty obviously in his role as part of campaign?

        A lot hangs on whether that “FBI employee” exists and can corroborate their story.

        For someone who constantly questions people in authority, what makes you think we should trust the word of one person- Isgur Flores?

        Isgur Flores, who was Sessions Spox when he was in Senate and came to DOJ with him. Very trustworthy source.

        CNN has addressed this on air. Says legal experts indicate that disclosure of contacts as Senator would have been required.
