None of that conflicts with meeting the ambassador with staff in attendance, and only one such meeting with many countries that he had had

Context
At his Jan. 10 Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, Sessions was asked by Sen. Al Franken, a Minnesota Democrat, what he would do if he learned of any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of the 2016 campaign.
Sessions was not part of the campaign. His "communication" was as senator. There is no conflict.
OK, so he says "I had no contact with the Russians" ... and that doesn't conflict with communicating with the Russians?
I'm finding out that a lot of words don't mean what I've thought they meant all these years ... this time "conflict".
" I had no contact with the Russians" is not the same as "I had contact with the Russians in an official capacity as a senator"
Besides all of that ... it has been said multiple times that he answered the question that was asked and he answered it honestly. He did neither of those things. The question was "what would you do if you found out .... " and he answered that he wasn't aware of any of that happening and that he had no contact with Russians.
I don't even understand how this is a gray area. He said what he said in response to a question asked ... it's on video, there's no denying what he said.
The only gray area is whether it's a big deal or how big of a deal it is.
