Hopefully he takes questions and all the news outlets that the White House has attacked so much can come out and really try to hold his feet to the fire.

Put me down for $20 on recuse! Let it roll, baby!!

I permanently banned my 6 year old daughter from using the PS4 for mistakenly sending grief reports as it's too hard to watch or talk to her
Too early / soon for resignation, we have to have indignation first, followed by bargaining via recusal, then another shoe needs to drop and he'll resign / get pushed out.
I'm going to go into a KFC/Taco Bell.
If he doubles down, I'll eat a KFC double-down, if he recuses, I'll recuse myself from life by eating off the Taco Bell menu.
...not actually going to do this.

I don't think this one is going to be so easy to get out of. Republicans are already turning on Sessions. I believe Sessions doubled down on it again the second time Franken asked him if he had contact with the Russians at all during the campaign, and then there is his written answer also.
They can argue it was just his responsibility as a member of the Armed Services Committee, but out of 27 or so senators on the committee Sessions is the only one to meet with Russian contacts. Apparently the other senators had avoided meeting with any Russian contacts at all due to increasing tensions between Russia and the US. First Flynn and now Sessions just weeks later. Throw Trump's weird admiration for everything Putin on the pile of smoking garbage... I don't think people are going to let this go so easily.
It's also telling that Trump isn't throwing a tantrum on twitter. Shit is getting interesting.

Are they finally bringing a suit against Crooked Hillary for her dastardly email fiasco?

*Meeting was in my capacity as a senator*
*No talk about the election*
*Recuse maybe*

Trump is busy looking himself in the mirror in the new jacket he got on the aircraft carrier. Or he doesn't get reception inside the steel hull.

I am going with neither a recusal nor resignation.
Followed by the statement that he has the confidence of the president to impartially investigate him
And that he blushes a lot.
And hates blacks.
And maybe gays.
Come at me.
Oh, and I'd like to start calling him Minute Sessions.

Yeah, anyone who questions Sessions racism clearly has no basis for understanding how racism presents itself in politics. He's like the definition of a southern strategy Republican.

Recusing is basically setting himself up to go to fucking jail, guys

As a kid who grew up in the 80s its so weird this year, with democrats and the mainstream media going after anyone who has potential ties to Russia and republicans and conservative talk radio just kinda shrugging and saying "ehh.... the russians aren't our enemy". Its like a total 100% reversal from my childhood when Reagan and the conservatives viewed commies as an existential threat to America and democrats didn't like them but thought we could work with them.
I hope this helps boost the ratings of the TV show The Americans though which debuts next tuesday, its a fantastic portrayal of the 80s America vs. Russia vibe.

There is a small chance he resigns and nopes the fuck outta here.

Resigning. Might as well take the long odds.
Or doubling down.
Seeing the Senate split from the White House would make my weekend.
However I expect a delaying bullshit "I was being a senator not a campaigning dude" nonsense.
There's a possibility enough is enough and Ryan and co have just said, fall on your sword today.

I know what you mean.
It's not even so much the reversal as the feeling that everyone's kinda pretending that the reversal didn't happen and this is the way it's always been.

He's going to double down.
Which is fine. It'll just lead to more problems for the administration.

Would watch this, but I'll just get mad when he tries to blow it all off as normal business. But hey, I'd love to be wrong. Screw it, I'm watching anyway. Wouldn't want to miss something fun.
Expecting 2, but who could not want 4? The play here is to run out and confuse people ASAP and then pretend nothing happened, I guess? But again, I'd love to be wrong.

I don't think he'd call a press conference to double down, that just brings way more attention

Sessions walks up to the mic. "I did not have ambassadorial relations with that country....Ms.Russia" walks away.
Not sure Sessions is smart enough to see that. He might be recusing himself, though.

You'd think that, but Donald Trump is President so any thoughtful media strategy evaporates the moment he yells at someone to get in front of a camera.
If there's one thing this administration is good at, it's keeping attention off of their buffoonery and insanity.

He's fucked. He's not surviving this and there will be a new scandal in 2 weeks involving Miller or Tillerson.
