Please don't post garden-variety political stories to HN.<p>This kind of thing is off-topic here and would easily deluge the site if we didn't actively prevent it from doing so.
"Sessions last year had more than 25 conversations with foreign ambassadors as a senior member of the Armed Services Committee, including the British, Korean, Japanese, Polish, Indian, Chinese, Canadian, Australian and German ambassadors, in addition to Kislyak"<p>Ehh, I probably buy this "I didn't meet him as a Trump surrogate" line(he was head of Senate Armed Services committee?), but this is exactly the kind of pointless reactionary conspiracy fueled pablum that the Trump campaign ran against Clinton. You made the bed, now lay in it.
The Fourth Estate is doing its job. Whatever the truth is, the pressure from respected institutions like the Washington Post and New York Times will be a big part of why we eventually find it. I am proud that the press is holding the government accountable.
I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that Senate confirmation hearings are under oath, and therefore Sessions has perjured himself. Last I checked, perjury was a felony.<p>What happens next?
There are finally investigations being disclosed too. Problem is it seems they want to focus on who illegally leaked the information about contact and meetings.

It's great to see the press bringing the duplicity of Trump's cabinet to light. I worry though that they've inured us to scandal. This would undoubtedly be a debilitating scandal for a normal administration, but at this point I think people almost <i>expect</i> Trump and his appointees to tell big lies.
