For the people who have trouble believing that Jeff Sessions - yes, that Jeff Sessions - is a Russian agent meriting a criminal investigation by the FBI, the second storyline continues to bear fruit.
Of all the Russian conspiracy angles, the one alleging Sessions is working on behalf of the Russians is easily the most outlandish.
In January 2017, Sessions was undergoing his confirmation hearings in the midst of the initial Red Panic gripping DC. Sen. Patrick Leahy asked Sessions, "Several of the President-elect's nominees or senior advisers have Russian ties. Have you been in contact with anyone connected to any part of the Russian government about the 2016 election, either before or after election day?" Sessions responded "No.".
One of the meetings was a private conversation between Sessions and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak that took place in September in the senator's office, at the height of what U.S. intelligence officials say was a Russian cyber campaign to upend the U.S. presidential race.
It portrays the meeting of senators with ambassadors as anything but routine, quotes multiple Democratic elected officials as calling for a special counsel, quotes Republicans such as Sen. John McCain and Sen. Lindsey Graham tut-tutting these meetings, quotes retired intelligence officials as lamenting the Russian operation to "Cultivate" Sessions, and suggests that Sessions had mysteriously changed his views on Russia during the campaign.
Nearly a year before Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired senior FBI official Andrew McCabe for what Sessions called a 'lack of candor,' McCabe oversaw a federal criminal investigation into whether Sessions lacked candor when testifying before Congress about contacts with Russian operatives, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
If you do not accept the rather outlandish theory that Sessions is a Russian agent who was conspiring with Moscow by not once but twice being in the same reception room as the Russian ambassador, an alternate explanation is in order.
