The point here is that democrats only have THEIR interests in mind.

When I served as a U.S. senator and member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I attended a Geneva conference on arms control with several of my committee colleagues including our chairman, Sam Nunn, and Ted Kennedy, both Democrats. We all attended a reception with Soviet officials and I engaged in a spirited nose-to-nose exchange with a particularly hostile and arrogant Soviet official – to the amusement of my Senate colleagues of both parties.
Today, I watch in outraged disgust and real concern as Democratic members of Congress slander Attorney General Jeff Sessions for having interactions with a Russian diplomat while serving as a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee. Such hostility and partisan political attacks are an embarrassment and are doing real damage to our country with our allies and other nations.
The implication of wrongdoing against the United States is a false and ugly smear. The very idea that contact with the Russian ambassador is somehow off-limits is backwards. And although Sessions’ critics keep playing the Russia card, James R. Clapper, director of national intelligence in the Obama administration, in reply recently to a pointed question by Chuck Todd on “Meet the Press,” stated that intelligence agencies’ investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election found no evidence of any collusion by Jeff Sessions or anyone associated with the Trump campaign.
