Should remind folks that Sessions was pushed to recuse, not because of Comey investigating him (which was not known to him) but because.... he was seen interacting with Russians!
That was what Rosenstein told him. Piling on with the “you must recuse because you too have been “in contact” with the Russians (just like Flynn-— quelle horreur!).
Disgusting lying Rosenweasel. The T- up was Flynn, then Sessions. Sessions were he a more bold person should have seen through the head fake as ridiculous, and simply not recused himself— they could not force him to recuse. But Sessions spent too much time in the “boys club” Senate, imho.
Still a Trump supporter, who can help in the Senate, far better than his opponent.
I think Sessions has more direct info than you do, so I believe Sessions - his info will have to hold up through investigation of Comey.
He was pushed to recuse himself from Democrats because of statements he made during his confirmation hearings. He had been asked by Franken if he knew of anyone from the Trump campaign who had met or had contacts with the Russian government. Sessions replied: "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."
On March 1st, 2017, news breaks that Session met with the Russian Ambassador twice, and Pelosi said he "lied under oath, and needs to resign." Those meetings were legit as he was still a Senator, and head of the Senate Armed Services Committee. The next day Sessions recuses himself.
