He arguably just offered alternative facts and didn't lie at all.
Remember you are arguing with scumbag fucking evil liers here. It isn't any easy argument.

We are gonna need a bigger rug.
The current one can only hold so much under it.

Right, but the typical nonsense White House spin and legal wrangling over the terms of the federal perjury statute aren't going to matter in the short run. Caesar's wife must be above suspicion.
They let Flynn go because he couldn't keep his story straight and it was clear that was a fire that would keep going.
Sessions is an actual cabinet appointee, the head of law in the country, and he's actually on tape lying about this. This news has been out for an evening and the roof is on fire. I just don't see how you're basically forced to oust Flynn after he shows his ass, but not Sessions.

Trump's famous double down is back for a limited time only.

So... if Sessions does get the boot, does that mean that Chris Christie will get the job after all, after everything? That would be an interesting capstone on Trump's and Christie's relationship throughout the entire campaign and election, if this forces Trump to give the job to him after all.

The story only broke 8 hours ago and most of the country has been asleep since then. And even with that, multiple prominent Democrats have already publicly called for his resignation.
Things are happening, don't worry

When are we Americans going to wake up and demand to know "What the fuck is going on?"
All of this stuff should be more alarming to us. I don't know how we can allow it to be background noise.

A Colorado (R) senator was just on NPR calling for people to wait on more information regarding Session before we act. As if the substance of his conversation changes whether he lied under oath or not.

'He may be colluding with / be compromised by a foreign power and an accessory to corrupting our democracy, but let's give him the benefit of the doubt while he is the chief law enforcement officer of the country'
It's infuriating - even if he's as innocent as the Blessed Virgin, bench the fucker until your investigation is complete!

To all the people (not so much here) thrashing around for excuses and parsing questions and answers.
The question was asked at a highly charged time, Flynn had just got done. Reds under the bed. Sessions knew exactly why the question was asked. Doesn't matter how badly it was asked the invitation was clear: think back, and please let everyone know now anything you had to do with any Russians in the last year.
Sessions thought about it and decided to answer "none" or "no" or "I got nothing"
What he should have said is what he NOW says, that yes there were some meetings and they talked about the lack of snow in Chicago or whatever it is.
That's really all the country and the GOP should need to know. He had two clear chances and he decided to hide what he most certainly knew. That's it. That's not what an AG should ever be caught doing.

Most don't give a shit? Most go to the polls every two or four years, vote party line according to whatever beliefs they have, then go back to not giving a fuck until it's time to vote again.

Trump's nominations should be banned until we can figure out what the hell is going on.
Confirming someone that the IC knows is radioactive lets them stick to the administration and helps to pull it down. At least that's the hope..

Here's what's going to matter.
Did Sessions *also* lie to the Trump administration about this?
Because that seems to be the thing they frown on. They aren't going to give two hoots if he lied to congress.

Hey America, you elected a Russian spy to the presidency.
Think about how much data is being siphoned to the Russians.
Think about the ramifications if it comes out he's a spy!
Oh course the GOP are stonewalling they're going to be labelled as "russian enablers".
Thank Christ for checks . and balances holy shit.

Sessions more or less IS the Trump administration. He was one of the first to support him. He wrote his foreign policy and he recruited Page and Miller.

1. Majority of Americans voted against the Russian stooge.
2. That bolded part, the GOP is in control of all three levels of government, which is what terrifies that majority.

Cory Gardener is a hack
So who's going to remove him? I don't see Congress doing anything.
I imagine many of them are so firmly entrenched in the idea that Hillary was evil and they made the right decision that nothing like this could dissuade them, no matter how illegal or malicious.
I'm sure they do, but they also know it's all they have. The second they turn on Trump, the extremist base that sustains them turns on the party itself. If keeping the evil libruls out of power and the scary brown people out of the country means selling the country out to the Ruskies, so be it. They all watch RT and listen to pro-Putin shills like Alex Jones anyway.

Recuse himself? More like resign. He basically lied under oath. This is another Flynn. Get rid of him.

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
This motherfucker shouldn't have ever been confirmed. Hope this sinks his racist ass for good
He is still saying its false but the admin put out a statement confirming the opposite
