If you listen to the question that Franken asked from start to finish Sessions answered truthfully.  This is a complete joke and I wish for once the GOP would show some backbone.  This is the actual question and answer.

Franken: "CNN just published a story alleging that the intelligence community provided documents to the president-elect last week that included information that quote, ‘Russian operatives claimed to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump.’ These documents also allegedly say quote, ‘There was a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump's surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.’

"Now, again, I'm telling you this as it's coming out, so you know. But if it's true, it's obviously extremely serious and if there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?"

Sessions: "Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it."

It is very clear to me and anyone with half a brain that the question was about "Trump surrogates and the Russian government".  Sessions was not a Trump surrogate (even though he was called one at times) and did not communicate with the Russians about the campaign as he said in his response.  He met with the ambassador in his capacity as a Senator, one of them at a Heritage Foundation conference.  He did not lie and he maintains he did not act as a surrogate discussing the campaign on behalf of the Trump team.  This is just another example of the Democrats and their shills in the media attempting to delegitimize Trump rather than examining why they lost.  I hope they keep this fake stuff up because at some point if something real does occur who will believe them or the media.  Even a writer for the WaPo agrees this is fake.
