Democrats call on Jeff Sessions to resign

Democratic lawmakers are calling on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to resign after reports surfaced that he had meetings with the Russian ambassador to the U.S. during the presidential election. Sessions denied any communication with the Russians during his confirmation hearing.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi: "After lying under oath to Congress about his own communications with the Russians, the Attorney General must resign," she said in a statement released late Wednesday night. "Sessions is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country."

Sen. Elizabeth Warren Warren: The situation is "not normal," she wrote on Twitter. "We need a real, bipartisan, transparent Congressional investigation into Russia. And we need Attorney General Jeff Sessions — who should have never been confirmed in the first place — to resign. We need it now."

Rep. Elijah Cummings, a ranking member on the House Oversight Committee: "It is inconceivable that even after Michael Flynn was fired for concealing his conversations with the Russians that Attorney General Sessions would keep his own conversations secret for several more weeks... Sessions should resign immediately."

No they should face a firing squad.

Based on what we know now

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/03/03/state-department-sponsored-sessions-meeting-with-russian-ambassador/

Sec. Sessions should un-recuse himself and tell he RATs to “Hit me with your best shot”.

The one they ‘got’ was the best man for the job.

He got fired because he believed Pence is a trojan horse.

Considering how he got his information, I suspect that he could be right.

The correct answer on this needs to come out soon.

If I were Trump I’d tell them to stuff it in no uncertain terms, and I’d tell them it will be a cold day in hell before I’d allow my Attorney General to recuse himself on any matter.

Sessions has always been a man above reproach, and him accepting a job in the Trump administration changes none of that.

I’d also remind them two sides can play this sort of game, and if they keep it up I’d take off my gloves.

I’d tell them I’ve just about had it with their attempt to destroy the nation’s leadership, and they better pull their heads out before they bite off more than they can chew.

We all know what’s been going on in Washington, D. C., and if you all want a political blood-bath, keep it up.

Sure. As soon as the rest of the Senators who met the ambassador resign, he could too. Then the 80% new Senate could reconfirm him.

He has to recuse himself. He was one of the ones wiretapped.

If you’re talking about McCain I agree he IS SPINELESS. If you meant SESSIONS you haven’t a clue.

Just what kind of weak, pearl-clutcher would think A G Sessions should resign? Get a grip.
