Attorney General Jeff Sessions is under fire after reports that he met with Russia’s ambassador twice during the presidential campaign, even though he said under oath that he had not.

The Russian Ambassador must be terrible in conversations. It seems everyone always forgets what they talked about with him.

Unlike SOME people, I have NEVER had relations with a Russian ambassador. I'm available for prestigious government positions.

Tonight's forecast: partly cloudy with a high chance of another Cabinet member lying about talking to a Russian ambassador

See, now I'm nervous. What if I met with this Russian ambassador too, and just forgot? Apparently, he has that effect on people!

Maybe the Russian ambassador is just a really forgettable guy

Met a friend for coffee. I'm pretty sure it wasn't the Russian ambassador, but it's so hard to be definitive.

The only way out of this for Sessions is to say that he did talk to the Russian ambassador, but they were planning a surprise party.
