In reply to the discussion: GOPer: Info On Sessions-Russia Contact 'Should Never' Have Become Public [View all]Nitram

We would have no nuclear weapons reduction agreements, trade deals, etc without the trust that depends on confidentiality. But when someone like Sessions breaks the law, such conversations must be made public.
