MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — An attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union has filed a complaint against Attorney General Jeff Sessions with the Alabama State Bar over his testimony during his Senate confirmation process regarding contact he had with Russia.

In the complaint dated Thursday, attorney Christopher Anders says Sessions made false statements during sworn testimony in January when he told a Senate committee he had not had any contact with the Russian government during Donald Trump's presidential campaign.

Sessions, who had represented Alabama in the U.S. Senate, later acknowledged he had spoken twice with the Russian ambassador last year and had failed to disclose that during his confirmation process. Sessions said he had not tried to mislead anyone but could have been more careful in his answers.

The complaint urges the Alabama State Bar to investigate and determine whether Sessions violated the state's rules of professional conduct.

3. Lying under oath is vile, immoral and illegal

republicans may some day want to acquaint themselves with the Law and with The Bible.

They make it pretty damn clear how scuzzy and reprehensibile it is to lie, especially to lie under oath.

OATH VIOLATION is series bizness.

OATH VIOLATORS should pay full consequences.

4. So if the state bar there decides to do its job and suspend his license can he remain in

his current job or does he have to be removed?

6. there is no law in this country; it's just a charade run by the PTB, to mollify the masses while

they rob us blind and send us to early graves. nothing will be done to bring the current ruling crooks to justice, until the streets are overflowing with rioters in every major city.
