Here's what I think will happen: Trump will cut him loose ASAP, in an effort to stop any further bleed and to throw the Dems a bone, they were vehemently opposed to him anyway. Win/win. In Trump world at least. He cuts the dead weight of Sessions and it's all Session's own doing.
Of course the outlying issue is whether there is any other connection or a more direct connection to Trump himself.

Hm. He needs someone like Sessions in place, however, to meet his agenda. Sessions was extremely loyal, as was Flynn. It will be a more difficult position to replace, unless he drags in his pal Giuliani, who may also have a Russian connection, incidentally...
His fall under the category of "business ties" that would have been a problem for Secretary of State, but not so much for AG...
He would still need to recuse himself, however, as he was an even more obvious supporter /campaign member of Trump's...
This is messy!
So as long as it's for your President's team it doesn't matter if he breaks protocol at all?

Show me Russia hacking the American election and I'll start to care about who has been speaking with Russia officially or unofficially.
Sarah Isgur Flores, Mr. Sessions’s spokeswoman, said “there was absolutely nothing misleading about his answer” because he did not communicate with the ambassador in his capacity as a Trump campaign surrogate. She said Mr. Sessions had at least 25 conversations in 2016 with ambassadors from a range of nations — including Britain, Japan, China, Germany and Russia — while on the Senate Armed Services Committee.
Good point! Also, if Russians didn't affect our election, there's no need in giving them "bragging rights".

The key to find out about this is through Trump's closest aids going all the way back to the beginning of his candidacy and seeing how they are tied to the Russian oligarchs. We've got dozens of intel people working on this thread as we speak.

Okay. The question has to be asked...then WHY wasn't this disclosed before the hearing was concluded? Obviously someone knew. Franken asked the question for a reason. And, we now know, all the Russian lines are tapped so the IC knew.
The dumb answer is a backlog in reviewing tapes..

“I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.” - Jeff Sessions, under oath to Sen. Al Franken

I'm just wondering what kind of conversations Flynn, and now Sessions were having with the Russians that they need to lie about them.
Obviously they were election rigging conversations right?

It was a simple question and he chose to lie...
Why?
