Ambassador Sergey Kislyak's accounts of two conversations with Sessions — then a top foreign policy adviser to Republican candidate Donald Trump — were intercepted by U.S. spy agencies, which monitor the communications of senior Russian officials both in the United States and in Russia.
One U.S. official said that Sessions — who testified that he has no recollection of the April encounter — has provided ”misleading" statements that are ”contradicted by other evidence." A former official said that the intelligence indicates that Sessions and Kislyak had ”substantive" discussions on matters including Trump's positions on Russia-related issues and prospects for U.S.-Russia relations in a Trump administration.

He's toast.

Russias ambassador to Washington told his superiors in Moscow that he discussed campaign-related matters, including policy issues important to Moscow, with Jeff Sessions during the 2016 presidential race, contrary to public assertions by the embattled attorney general, according to current and former U.S. officials.

Ambassador Sergey Kislyaks accounts of two conversations with Sessions then a top foreign policy adviser to Republican candidate Donald Trump were intercepted by U.S. spy agencies, which monitor the communications of senior Russian officials both in the United States and in Russia. Sessions initially failed to disclose his contacts with Kislyak and then said that the meetings were not about the Trump campaign.

One U.S. official said that Sessions who testified that he has no recollection of the April encounter has provided misleading statements that are contradicted by other evidence. A former official said that the intelligence indicates that Sessions and Kislyak had substantive discussions on matters including Trumps positions on Russia-related issues and prospects for U.S.-Russia relations in a Trump administration.

I think this is what Comey was referring to during his testimony when he mentioned there were reasons that Sessions would have to recuse.

Locke562 · Jul 21, 2017

We're just going to keep seeing reports like this, aren't we?

I can't wait.

After he recused himself? Uh, that's a problem.

epmode · Jul 21, 2017

I assume that "intercepted" means that we have actual audio of these discussions between Kislyak and other Russians.

Over/under on an official resignation before Monday at midnight?

I believe that to be a very safe assumption.

PopeReal · Jul 21, 2017

Remember how mad Sessions got at Wyden during the hearings???

LOL what a fucking liar.

If you have Amazon Prime you can get six months of WaPo for free and then a reduced subscription after that. I think it's worth it to support the work they've been doing.

Holy shit. This is big.

I DON'T RECALL

Morts · Jul 22, 2017

Seems like Sessions can just claim the ambassador was lying/exaggerating the extent of his conversations.

It's been clear throughout this that our IC has had wiretaps on Kislyak for eons. He's a spymaster.

Yeah, I'm not surprised. We don't often hear about the contents of the conversations though.

And no one but his followers should believe it. He hasn't been truthful about anything at all.
