Senate Democrats enter new territory on Russia probes with push to grill Sessions, Trump

Senate Democrats are looking to intensify the Russia-related investigations on Capitol Hill despite a call from Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel to abandon the “collusion” track for lack of evidence – with plans to grill Attorney General Jeff Sessions and even a bid to get President Trump under oath.

While Trump has not responded to the invitation, Sessions already has agreed to answer questions Tuesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee in the probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential race. Presuming that hearing goes forward, the big question is whether Sessions will testify in public – and in doing so, drive the same kind of media frenzy that surrounded fired FBI Director James Comey’s testimony this past Thursday.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said Sunday he wants Sessions speaking in public and under oath.

“There are some questions about Sessions that have to be asked,” Schumer said on CBS News’ “Face the Nation.”

Why not tell them to go pi$$ up a rope? They will never be satisfied. Never. Ignore them. Scrap the filibuster. Let’s roll!

President Trump should honor his promise to testify under oath only after b o, shrillary and company have been thoroughly grilled.

Trump shouldn’t do this. They will take everything he says and parse it to death until they find something they can claim is impeachable. This whole Russia thing is a fabrication by democrats. Tell them to drop dead.

I thought he recused himself.

After the room is filled and everyone who is not standing is seated, he should just take the fifth and walk out.

“Sessions already has agreed to answer questions Tuesday before the Senate Intelligence Committee”

Will there be no end to Sessions capitulations? Are they incapable of mounting any offensive of any kind?

What is this investigation!?

I’m lost. What did the Russians do in this particular 2016 election and what is the evidence that is so strong it warrants all this bullshit?
Sorry but this is out of control.

Trump should just admit that Elvis is still alive, and he’s an alien living on the moon. JFK is also an alien but runs the flat earth society.

POTUS needs to keep doing his job and show the American people he’s working and not stuck in this muck. I would let me lawyer do his thing and not even tweet about it and just tweet about the positive things like job creation, cutting red tape etc.

This is a coup attempt by the media and democrats. Sessions and Trump should ignore these villains and just ridicule and call them liars not go along with their demands as session is doing. Sessions is a huge disappointment : repeal the 17th.

Sessions is required to testify if subpoenaed. He might as well go voluntarily.

I read somewhere that Sessions is not going to testify about the so-called Russia investigation, but about Comey and HIS testimony.

I hope that’s what this is about.
