From The Huffington Post:
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was forced to amend prior testimony to Congress this week, acknowledging that contrary to an earlier statement, he’d encountered the Russian ambassador to the United States twice in the last year.
Sessions appears to have left out a third instance in which they crossed paths.
In April of 2016, Sessions attended a VIP reception at a hotel in Washington, D.C., with President Donald Trump and roughly two dozen guests, including four ambassadors. One of them was Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. The cocktail meet-and-greet took place in a private room at the Mayflower Hotel near the White House. Shortly thereafter, Trump delivered a foreign policy speech in the hotel’s ballroom, where he called for improved U.S.-Russia relations. Kislyak was seated in the front row.

A V.I.P. cocktail gathering of two dozen people — come on, of course they met. It’s certainly enough of an opportunity for one to say to the other, “the eagle is in the samovar”.
This is the same event where it just came out that Trump himself met Kislyak, so let’s not let Sessions’ attendance get ignored in all this.

Jeff Sessions must resign, and a special prosecutor must investigate Trump's ties to Russia. www.dailykos.com/...
