March 3 was a whirlwind of political theater on Capitol Hill as Democrats ravenously went after Attorney General Jeff Sessions for his undisclosed meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Democrats spent Thursday calling for Sessions to resign as well, led in their charge by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi. “[That] the top cop in our country lied under oath to the people is grounds for him to resign,” she told reporters. “He has proved that he is unqualified and unfit to serve in that position of trust.”
Likewise, Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren tweeted out her argument that Sessions should recuse himself from the pending investigations into the Trump Administration’s connections to Russia whom the CIA claims orchestrated the hack into the Democratic National Convention late in the election. It is important to note here that the Republican National Convention was also hacked around the same time.
“Now Jeff Sessions is AG – the final say on the law enforcement investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia? What a farce,” Sen. Warren tweeted. “This is not normal. This is not fake news. This is a very real & serious threat to the national security of the United States.”
