Those Republican senators that are concerned this morning might need a phone call of reassurance from the both of you on the matter.

Yeah, this is a total bombshell. Sessions will probably keep his job, recuse himself from the Russian investigation witch hunt, and... that's it.

Scandal is a very loose term here. What do we currently know?

1. Russia probably meddled in an election (they do this on a regular basis, and so do we).
2. THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION.

What a story.

But WAIT! There's MORE!

By Jeff Sessions’ Standard for Lying Under Oath, Jeff Sessions Lied Under Oath
Slate

The critical paragraphs:
Quote:
...
Freshman Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions had some thoughts on that very question during the Bill Clinton impeachment imbroglio, when the president stood accused of lying to a federal grand jury about his assignations with Monica Lewinsky.

“I sort of assumed perjury occurred, but I want to read what was said, what the established fact is, and decide how clear that is and whether or not there is any wriggle room or realistic defense there," Sessions said in 1998. Back then, the senator described perjury as a “big-time issue,” adding, “I have no doubt that perjury qualifies under the Constitution as a high crime. It goes to the heart of the judicial system.” ...
The article also quotes administration responses to the whole affair, which the previous articles I linked do not.

Though having two senior level appointments run into issues of perjury on the matter indicates smoke.

In both instances the interaction is not the issue but lying about it. It's not like Flynn and Sessions are new to this and can claim ignorance. Why would they lie?

Really, you are gonna go with the word "probably?" They hacked the DNC in an attempt to help Trump win, I thought that was widely accepted as fact, even on the conservative side. I mean, I know Trump is good with it, and has no plans to do anything about it, but hey, thats what Congress is for.

We also know that Trump has lied about his campaign's contacts with Russia during the campaign, hence all of the investigations. And his plan is to either ignore it and hope it goes away or continue to lie about it. Considering a House committee just agreed to investigate, looks like option A is not working.

Sometimes deflecting, denying and insulting works, in Trumps case it seems he might be doing it too much making his entire stance diaphanous to even his congressional teammates.

Today... is Christmas! There will be a magic show at zero-nine-thirty! Chaplain Charlie will tell you about how the free world will conquer Communism with the aid of God and a few Marines! God has a hard-on for Marines because we kill everything we see! He plays His games, we play ours! To show our appreciation for so much power, we keep heaven packed with fresh souls! God was here before the Marine Corps! So you can give your heart to Jesus, but your *** belongs to the Corps! Do you ladies understand?
