(5,273 posts)But she and other Sessions' Justice staffers are downplaying the meetings, saying that meetings weren't about campaign and that Sessions didn't really remember much about what was discussed.
That is why Al Franken said Sessions failure to disclose those meetings was "misleading at best" since Sessions should have at least told the Senate that he had met with Kislyak and then Sessions should have explained whether or not the campaign had been discussed in those meetings with Kislak

(9,866 posts)....Sessions spoke as a Senator, which he still was. Not as a 45 campaign spokesman.
He'll skate.
