https://www.sanders.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sanders-sessions-must-resignThursday, March 2, 2017
WASHINGTON, March 2 Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) issued the following statement Thursday after it was reported that Attorney General Jeff Sessions misled the Senate Judiciary Committee about previous contacts with Russias ambassador to the United States:
"Millions of Americans are deeply concerned about the possibility that the Trump administration colluded with President Putin and the Russian authoritarian government to win the presidential election. It is deeply disturbing that then-Sen. Jeff Sessions, under oath at a Senate confirmation hearing, falsely denied having met with the Russian ambassador.
"We need a Justice Department that will give us the facts about Russias involvement in the 2016 election and their ties to the Trump campaign, not one led by someone who deliberately misled Congress about his own communications with the Russian government. We also must find out what President Trump knew about meetings involving his campaign and the Russians.
"Attorney General Sessions should resign and a special prosecutor should be appointed to give the American people credible answers about Russias involvement in the U.S. election."

(724 posts)1. Has he give up his senate seat yet?
That would be a nice loss, AGs job and senator.
He can't effectively do his job any longer.
