Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) called on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign in the wake of a report that he had contact with the Russian ambassador last year and did not disclose it to senators during the confirmation process.
Schumer said it's "better for the country if he resigns," but that the most important thing is that a real investigation takes place.
"Has it already been compromised?" Schumer asked.

I wish McConnell had 10% of Schumer’s fighting temprement.
I now know, by his desperate actions, that Charles Ellis Schumer, Senator of New York, is a pedophile involved in #PizzaGate.
I am sick and tired of all these “professional politicians” who care about nothing their own power and party to the detriment of America and our people...
Time for term limits and/or any other way to eliminate them from our government...
2018...Vote their asses OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The exact question asked and the exact answer given will put this to rest, schmuckie. Start from there, the STFU.
Its not the Democrats that worry me. They have been, and will be squealing at every opportunity. The Republicans worry me. It really angers me how quickly they jump on every appearance of impropriety the Democrats cook up. They didn’t even attack Obama the way they are attacking Trump. But I will feel a little better if they assign Gowdy to investigate. At least I know it won’t go anywhere.
Schumer needs to shut his #ock holster...
This is nothing more than a coordinated campaign to get Donald Trump's speech before Congress -- which generated enormous (and unexpected) approval from the public -- out of the news.
You can be sure that the DNC and the media have a whole pile of fake news stories like this that will be trotted out whenever they feel a need to push a positive Trump story out of the headlines. You can bank on this.
Funny you should mention that:
(Twitter).@SpeakerRyan: “If [Jeff Sessions] is the subject of an investigation, of course he would” recuse himself.
Why do I have to hear this idiot Schumer’s opinion every single day? Why? He’s not the President and he’s not leading any other part of the Government. Did I hear the Republicans opinion on the news every single day for the last 8 years? NO I DIDN’T!!!
I think you overplay and misunderstand the actual constitutional power Gowdy had during his investigations. I know there are some that had this grand dream of Gowdy usurping constitutional power and he himself alone arrest, cuff, haul away, charge, hear, prosecute and sentence. He did exactly his job and asked the questions that needed asked while being stonewalled. You issue should go to leadership in house and Senate based on his inverstgations.
They were the ones to take the baton and proceed further. Gowdy gave them the ammo. They opted not to act
Schumer and the Democrat/Left Party are powerless and should be considered irrelevant ... because they are.
Fox has been breathlessly talking about this all morning. They are practically slobbering with excitement. I despise all media and liberals.
Schmuck is always the Schemer.
If the FBI is investigating Sessions (NOT CONGRESS BUT FBI) then yes absolutely he should recuse himself. This doesn’t show something bad out there it’s legally ethical.
Resign no but if target of investigation yes recuse. His 2nd in command would then take over this investigation. I believe Ryannis stating what is obvious.
Schmuck Schumer is a pathetic Sleezy slime existing in an alternative reality. Eff you, Schmuck!!
Why yes. That's always how it's been with them. The seriousness of the charge, you know. What is slightly different here is that the Obama holdovers are fabricating memos and the like then leaking them which the media broadcasts as a sinister coverup by the Trump administration to suppress the truth or hide their plans.
Trump should come out with a statement (Tweet):
“AG JEFF SESSIONS IS NOT RESIGNING, AND WILL NOT RECUSE HIMSELF FROM THIS CASE!”
Bilateral contacts between SASC members and foreign governments will be of a classified nature anyway. In that light, why in the hell would Sessions be expected to reveal those meetings?
I disagree....resign no but recuse yes. If he is truly being investigated by the FBI. You know politics though.
