Regarding the [[Jeff Sessions]] affair, [[Wesley Pruden]] of ''The Washington Times'' wrote:
*Sen. Claire McCaskill of Missouri, in demanding the attorney general’s head, said that as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee for 10 years she had never met the Russian ambassador. She couldn’t imagine that any worthy senator would. She forgot that in the digital age facts are hard to kill graveyard dead.
Then she spent the afternoon trying to explain why she would have made such a categorical statement after several tweets about visits with the Russian ambassador (she said it was about American adoptions of Russian children) were discovered and published on the internet.<ref> [http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/mar/2/jeff-sessions-affair-shows-republicans-must-stick-/ On the eve of the insurrection]</ref>
