The Democrat accusations are, frankly, stupid.
On the other hand, I can tell you didn't read the linked PDF.

Okay, I did searches to find out how Sessions voted on the Iran deal, and read as much as I could tolerate of the pdf. I can’t read legalese or governmentese very well.

I find it VERY hard to believe that Sessions voted for the Iran deal.

The Yes vote that E.Fish says is a vote FOR the Iran deal, is described here, and it does not appear to me to be a vote for the Iran deal, but a vote saying that Congress should have oversight on it. Hopefully someone who knows about this will explain. But I do not remember 98 Senators voting FOR the Iran deal. And since Sessions was on record as saying he was not going to vote for it (I found that), it is very hard to believe that he and almost all other R Senators voted for it.

Vote Summary

Question: On Passage of the Bill (H.R. 1191 As Amended )
Vote Number: 174
Vote Date: May 7, 2015, 02:24 PM
Required For Majority: 1/2
Vote Result: Bill Passed
Measure Number: H.R. 1191 (Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act of 2015 )
Measure Title: A bill to provide for congressional review and oversight of agreements relating to Iran’s nuclear program, and for other purposes.

Here’s another explanation, this stuff is so arcane it is very difficult for me to understand unless it is explained in simple layman’s language.

Where Senators Stand on the Iran Deal
President Obama secured support from enough senators to protect his nuclear agreement with Iran. The House voted to block the deal, but in the Senate opponents of the deal could not gather enough votes to block it, and the disapproval resolution was defeated on a procedural vote Sept. 25. Here’s the rundown.

You are new here. You called Attorney General Sessions a traitor. You have prima facie discredited yourself. Security 101 is not to click on links from sources one does not know and trust. You should probably just be banned unless you can prove your bona fides to the site administrators.
