He was using his campaign's money to be there, not the Trump campaign's money. Not sure how you're making this out to use this as evidence that he met the Russian as a Trump campaign surrogate, since the Trump campaign wasn't paying. RNC is a political event, so his political committee paid for him attending it rather than making you and me pay for it. The general purpose of him being in Cleveland was political, so his campaign was responsible for paying for it. This is pretty straightforward. That doesn't mean he was barred from doing work in his capacity as a senator while there. That also to me seems pretty straightforward.

If I am out drinking on the weekend and run into my boss, and he asks me about some project we have going next week, I'm meeting him in my capacity as an employee not as a drunk. If I'm at the office and my dad calls, it's not a work call even though I'm at the office.

I mean, if this ends up being some building block toward the downfall of Sessions, more power to it. But it won't because it's a completely stupid story.

Or is my sin pointing out something is a smear or falsehood when the goal of the smear is the Bigger Truth so objecting to it is inherently selling one's soul?
