All over the news now, but haven't seen anyone post yet. Best news I've heard all week. I hope he gets the ax.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world...=.d29f96684a5f

Excerpt from the article above:

Several Democratic members of the House on Wednesday night called on Sessions to resign from his post.

“After lying under oath to Congress about his own communications with the Russians, the Attorney General must resign,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement, adding that “Sessions is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country.”

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.), a senior member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said on Twitter late Wednesday that “we need a special counsel to investigate Trump associates’ ties to Russia.”

Sen. Lindsey O. Graham (R-S.C.) said at a CNN town hall Wednesday night that if the substance of Sessions’s conversations with the Russian ambassador proved to be improper or suspect, he too would join the call for Sessions to go.

“If there is something there and it goes up the chain of investigation, it is clear to me that Jeff Sessions, who is my dear friend, cannot make that decision about Trump,” Graham said – although he stressed he Sessions’s contacts with the Russian ambassador could have been “innocent.”

“But if there’s something there that the FBI thinks is criminal in nature, then for sure you need a special prosecutor. If that day ever comes, I’ll be the first one to say it needs to be somebody other than Jeff.”

Current and former U.S. officials say they see Kislyak as a diplomat, not an intelligence operative. But they were not sure to what extent, if any, Kislyak was aware of or involved in the covert Russian election campaign.

Steven Hall, former head of Russia operations at the CIA, said that Russia would have been keenly interested in cultivating a relationship with Sessions because of his role on key congressional committees and as an early adviser to Trump.

Sessions’s membership on the Armed Services Committee would have made him a priority for the Russian ambassador. “The fact that he had already placed himself at least ideologically behind Trump would have been an added bonus for Kislyak,” Hall said.

The gift that keeps on giving. All of the leaks that came out today are insane, especially the NYT and WAPO.

I still have a little hope that this will be bigger than Watergate. This ain't going away

Nobody posted it here bc it has nothing to do with us. Sessions is a racist fuck but if he leaves there's an army of old farts ready to replace him.

I posted this in the other topics earlier, but we can keep this thread here.

At the least he will have to recluse himself from Russia investigation. Top GOP lawmakers are already saying he should.

We lie to the Govt, we go to jail.

Sessions lie to the Govt, rewarded with AG spot.

How is that fair?

You guys, the leaks are the real story here. WHO IS LEAKING ALL OF THIS INFORMATION!?

I wonder if it's just a coincidence that both Sessions and Flynn tried to hide their contacts with the Russians. lol...

The Russians are the leakers lol. They wanna create chaos within the US and the US government. Why else did Putin want to get Trump elected? It's not just cuz of the oil deals and Rex Tillerson. Putin is rich already. His end goal is a weaker US so he can take over Eastern Europe like the good old KGB days.
