Multiple witnesses tell Mueller: Jeff Sessions lied under oath about opposing Russia outreach during campaign

........................
Sessions testified before Congress in November 2017 that he pushed back against the proposal made by former campaign adviser George Papadopoulos at a March 31, 2016 campaign meeting. Then a senator from Alabama, Sessions chaired the meeting as head of the Trump campaigns foreign policy team.
Yes, I pushed back, Sessions told the House Judiciary Committee on Nov. 14, when asked whether he shut down Papadopoulos proposed outreach to Russia. Sessions has since also been interviewed by Mueller.
Three people who attended the March campaign meeting told Reuters they gave their version of events to FBI agents or congressional investigators probing Russian interference in the 2016 election. Although the accounts they provided to Reuters differed in certain respects, all threes, who declined to be identified, said Sessions had expressed no objections to Papadopoulos idea............................................
Jonathan Turley, a law professor at George Washington University, said Sessions words might be too vague to form the basis of a perjury case because there could be different interpretations of what the term pushing back means.
If youre talking about false statements, prosecutors look for something that is concrete and clear, he said.
Other legal experts said, however, that repeated misstatements by Sessions could enable prosecutors to build a perjury case against him

Jeff Sessions needs to testify immediately before the Judiciary Committee to answer questions on the firing of Andrew McCabe. He must explain the DOJs process and whether this is an attempt to target, punish or silence those investigating Russia and the Trump campaign.
