If sessions is gone us minorities can breathe again. Trump can't put in anyone worse because his credibility is shot.
Btw it's just hilarious that Trump dragged Sessions into this shit, glorious. They're all so corrupt including the entire GOP.

What's the rebuttal to this?

Basically this.
WaPo has something like 20 of the 26 members of the committee that Sessions is using as cover saying they've never talked to Russians in their post.
-- Also she was apparently firing off those statements from her Personal E-Mail Account. Womp. Womp.

Rubio appears completely willing to go after Trump and is openly questioning Sessions.
Action, not rhetoric!
What's the rebuttal to this?
See above, but also: why didn't Sessions just say this under oath during confirmation ?

He appears to be the only one on the Armed Services Committee who had a meeting with Russia, and if you look at his testimony, it's pretty clear he was hiding this information.
We have a president and his campaign under investigation, and the person asked to prosecute is telling lies, or at the very least misleading greatly, about the very basis of the investigation. The time to come clean about meetings with Russians was when he was asked under oath about meeting Russians.

This is a golden opportunity for sane Republicans to take their party back, they won't get another chance if they don't take it now.
And I called Sessions having a good chance of being the smoking gun connection between Trump and Russia. I sincerely hope the IC has some hard evidence of dealings between them.
Because they are in over their heads. Much to Russia's surprise, these people are amateurs.
Repubs care nothing about the law or what is fair or who controls who. They only care they are in power.

Yeah, his whole lotta nothing answers regarding Session and his conversation with Trump regarding the ACA was nauseating.

The sickening part of this is I have absolute zero faith in most Republicans caring or wanting to do anything about this. Even worse most of them will probably run for re-election with anti-Trump ads.
GOP is seriously a disgrace.

Hanging Session out to dry lmao
On NPR the line seems to be "I do not recall" as to what was the substance of those conversations with the Russian ambassador. Hmmmm, history shows that isn't a good statement from an AG.

WH must have told Trump to not tweet about this since all I saw was the stock comment lmao. You know it's real
That's one way to recuse yourself!

Unfortunately I don't see that one as damning. The question asked if he had any communications specifically about the 2016 election. He claims he did not ever talk about that.

It's kind of hilarious to me that Sessions had all the shit against him and still got confirmed and then it's some talks with Russia and lying about it that possibly gets him. Fuck should have never had the job.

Wow.
If even Chaffetz, the most cowardly partisan chode in the country, is calling for him to recuse himself, that pretty much seals it.
Shit is real when Chaffetz of all people says this.

Isn't there talk they also met at the RNC? Could have sworn I read that last night.What's the rebuttal to this?
This dude is the biggest loyalist scumfuck in the entire house. Amazing.
Hmmmm
So I guess the memo is "just say it was Armed Services Committee business and that he should recuse himself and pray it goes away."

Realistically, will this amount to anything?
Yes. It will.

Uhhh, yea.
This has already blown up to massive levels in less than 24 hours with high ranking congress members calling him out (if true).
He is done, anyone who thinks the WH and Sessions can weasel out of this are kidding themselves.
Yes. Jason Chaffetz never said shit about Flynn and just reacted to that controversy by targeting the leakers.
If he of all people have changed tune this is already way bigger than Flynn.
It was a "No" to talking to the Russians "about the 2016 election", which is all the wiggle room he needs. The clairecmc tweet is more appropriate.

And I doubt it stops with Flynn and Sessions as well. There's going to be more and more until Trump and everyone else in his cabinet is done.

Also, what possible business interests could Russia have in Alabama? I'm struggling to come up with something that could serve as possible cover.
Surely some of them are appointed, as Bannon explicitly said, not because they are directly tied to Russians but rather because they are intended to dismantle their given department of the government. DeVos and Pruitt would be good examples of this, I think.
By weakening the government, including intelligence agencies, we are definitely more susceptible to Russian influence, though.
The out is "about the election."
Wow. Awesome.

Why do I feel more people will resign from Trump's cabinet because they have connections to Russia?
This is becoming a problem.. a disturbing problem.

Sessions removed the guidance on reduced use of private prisons. If we had a paper trail, maybe there.

He can't get involved with the investigations. I think he should resign though.

The pattern is incredible. Unbelievable, if this doesn't set off a massive outrage against the entire administration then I don't know what fucking will.

Maybe for a few months because I imagine Giuliani will be next in line.

Russia has a financial stake in our private prison industry?
