Seth Abramson says it is key information that leads him to believe that Sessions has been cooperating with Mueller in an agreement.
The key has to do with the meeting of March 31 2016. Here are a few of Seth's tweets on the topic. And see below for more.

NOTE/ My own opinion? It's likely that no assurances have been made by Mueller to Sessions, but that based on Mueller's interview with Sessions it's clear to both men that Sessions has liability here for perjury and more—so Sessions stays on in order to maintain leverage to deal.

4/ Papadopoulos positions Sessions in particular as one of two things: either a current cooperating witness in the Mueller probe *or* a target of that probe. And he positions Trump as the target of the collusion probe—not merely the coverup after the offense. I was right about...

3/ Simply put (and we need to be *clear*, as this is shattering information): Mueller believes Trump and Sessions approved a Russian backchannel in March 2016; he believes both of them have lied about their actions since then (Sessions under oath), and he has a case against both.

2/ If Trump, Sessions, Gordon, and two other members of the National Security Advisory Committee (the Trump-Russia scandal's CREEP-equivalent unit) were willing to lie about what happened at that meeting, it's to cover their involvement in things that came *after* that meeting
