Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions III just fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe for supposedly misleading the inspector general, but Reuters is reporting that Sessions is guilty of a lie that’s much more serious — one that goes to the heart of the Trump–Russia investigation.


"Sessions testified before Congress in November 2017 that he “pushed back” against the proposal made by former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos at a March 31, 2016 campaign meeting. Then a senator from Alabama, Sessions chaired the meeting as head of the Trump campaign’s foreign policy team."
........................
Except three witnesses to that meeting say Sessions is lying.


"Three people who attended the March campaign meeting told Reuters they gave their version of events to FBI agents or congressional investigators probing Russian interference in the 2016 election. Although the accounts they provided to Reuters differed in certain respects, all three, who declined to be identified, said Sessions had expressed no objections to Papadopoulos’ idea."
