Obama Admin. Arranged Sessions' First Meeting with Russian Ambassador, Fmr. DOJ Atty. Reveals By Craig Bannister <http://www.cnsnews.com/author/craig-bannister> | March 3, 2017 | 3:55 PM EST
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Texas) It was actually the Obama Administration that set up Senator Jeff Sessions’ (R-Texas) first meeting with a Russian ambassador last year, which Democrats are attempting to demonize, a former Justice Department attorney reveals. Attorney Hans A. von Spakovsky <http://www.heritage.org/staff/hans-von-spakovsky>, former civil rights counsel for the Justice Department who also served two years as a member of the Federal Elections Commission (FEC), lays out the innocuous details of Sessions’ first meeting in his commentary, “Get real, Democrats, there is no good reason for Sessions to resign" <http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/03/02/get-real-democrats-there-is-no-good-reason-for-sessions-to-resign.html> : “So what are the two meetings that Sessions had? The first came at a conference on “Global Partners in Diplomacy,” where Sessions was the keynote speaker. *Sponsored by the U.S. State Department*, The Heritage Foundation, and several other organizations, it was held in Cleveland during the Republican National Convention. “The conference was an educational program for *ambassadors invited by the Obama State Department *to observe the convention. The *Obama State Department handled all of the coordination with ambassadors* and their staff, of which there were about 100 at the conference.” So, Obama’s State Department not only sponsored the event, but it also invited the Russian ambassador Democrats are now vilifying, thus setting Sessions up to interact with him, Von Spakovsky explains: “Apparently, after Sessions finished speaking, a small group of ambassadors—including the Russian ambassador—approached the senator as he left the stage and thanked him for his remarks.” It would be impossible to clandestinely plot anything nefarious in such a public gathering, von Spakovsky concludes: “That’s the first ‘meeting.’ And it’s hardly an occasion—much less a venue—in when a conspiracy to “interfere” with the November election could be hatched."
