Attorney General Jeff Sessions Set To Contradict James Comey Under Oath

Just how dishonest is James Comey?

We learned quite a bit from him in his testimony last week, and hardly any of it damages President Donald Trump, as most liberals expected his testimony would. Most importantly, we learned that Comey was the person responsible for leaking his memo, claiming that Trump had asked Comey to consider ending the FBI’s investigation into Michael Flynn.

We later learned that the claim made in his memo was completely bogus – and heck, Comey had testified under oath back in May that he had never been asked by a President to end an investigation. As for why he kept a memo of his conversations with Trump, Comey told us that it was because he didn’t trust The Donald. Comey, meanwhile, didn’t bother to keep memos during his meetings with Obama – or his three-hour meeting with Hillary Clinton before letting her off the hook at the climax of the investigation into her private email server.

Lastly, as we reported earlier today, Comey may have been leaking information for MONTHS, according to Trump’s lawyers.

So it should be clear that Comey isn’t the most trustworthy individual, at least when it comes to anything Trump related. And with Attorney General Jeff Sessions set to contradict part of Comey’s testimony today, it’s clear who we should believe.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions will deny meeting the Russian ambassador a third time Tuesday in an open hearing he requested, a source with knowledge of the situation told The Daily Caller.

Former FBI Director James Comey testified before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence last week that Sessions was silent when Comey told him about his concerns about meeting with Trump alone. Department of Justice spokesman Ian Prior disputed this account last week. He said that the attorney general told Comey that the DOJ and FBI “needed to be careful about following appropriate policies regarding contacts with the White House.”

The source told TheDC that Sessions will testify similarly before the intelligence committee.

Senate Democrats had called for Sessions’ testimony to be public, and the source told TheDC that this was, in fact, a request from the DOJ. The source said that if Sessions testified in a closed hearing, Democrat senators would leak information from it, and then request an open hearing.

Comey participated in a closed hearing last week after his open hearing, and there were reports based on leaks from it that Comey said the attorney general had a third undisclosed meeting with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Sessions recused himself from the investigation into Russian election interference and possible collusion with the Trump campaign after it was discovered he had two previous undisclosed meetings with the Russian ambassador.

Sessions will deny that there was an (alleged) third meeting with Russian ambassador Sergey. Among the others denying that such a meeting occurred is Justice Department spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores.

Sessions is also expected to face questions about his role in the firing of James Comey.
