I find these comments extremely disconcerting.  As Ricky said to Lucy...."somebody's got a lot of 'splanin' to do....."Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., cast doubt on Sessions’ explanation that he had met with the Russian ambassador because of his duties as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, saying that was beyond the panel’s jurisdiction.

“I’ve been on the Armed Services Com for 10 years,” she wrote on Twitter on Thursday. “No call or meeting w/Russian ambassador. Ever. Ambassadors call members of Foreign Rel Com.”"

And, yes, his testimony was "misleading."  He could easily have said "I spoke twice with the Russian Ambassador during this period, but that was in my role as a member of the Armed Services Committee and we had no conversation relating to the campaign."  If all was so innocent, he would have been very well served to have "come clean" rather than "weasel" his answer and hope nothing became public.  With very rare exception, the truth is always the best course.
