Bush’s Ethics Lawyer: Jeff Sessions May Go To Jail If He Lied To Congress

[JohnnyApplesack]

A law professor who served as the White House ethics lawyer under former President George W. Bush slammed Attorney General Jeff Sessions over reports that he lied to Congress about his communications with Russia.

According to the The Washington Post, Sessions spoke to the Russian ambassador twice last year and did not mention the conversations in his confirmation hearings.

If the report is true, it’s “a good way to go to jail,” said Richard Painter, who served as White House ethics lawyer between 2005 and 2007 and is now law professor for the University of Minnesota.

Have Hillary Rotten Clinton be the lawyer for Senator Sessions, I am sure that She is Clean of all Dealings with Russia. By the way, that Charitable Organ that was "for the people" sure did dry up quick when Bill Clinton's wife lost the election. Wonder why that happened?

The truth about the Hillary Clinton-Russia-Uranium 'scandal'

The basic facts: This story is about the sale of a controlling stake in a Canadian company called Uranium One to Rosatom, the Russian atomic energy agency. Because Uranium One controlled uranium mines in the United States, the sale had to be approved by the Committee on Foreign Investment In the United States (CFIUS), part of the executive branch.

A number of investors in Uranium One gave donations to the Clinton Foundation during the time the sale was being considered (between 2008 and 2010), in part through the participation of Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining magnate who was a large donor to the Foundation and who had controlled a company that eventually bought Uranium One (according to the Times, Giustra sold his interest in the company in 2007, before the Rosatom deal).

He didn't lie. He did not speak to them in the capacity of the Trump campaign. In the questioning they asked with the Trump campaign.
