Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi was, as usual, the first to call it. Pelosi called for Sessions to resign, saying he is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country.

After the stunning news that Trump’s Attorney General Jeff Sessions lied under oath about his contact with Russian officials while he was a member of the Trump transition team, MoveOn called his resignation.

But the first domino really fell when former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi called for Sessions to resign. “Jeff Sessions lied under oath during his confirmation hearing before the Senate. Under penalty of perjury, he told the Senate Judiciary Committee, ‘I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.’ We now know that statement is false,” Pelosi wrote in her statement.

“Attorney General Sessions has never had the credibility to oversee the FBI investigation of senior Trump officials’ ties to the Russians. That is why Democrats have consistently called for Sessions to recuse himself from any oversight of the investigation.

“Now, after lying under oath to Congress about his own communications with the Russians, the Attorney General must resign,” the top Democrat demanded. “Sessions is not fit to serve as the top law enforcement officer of our country and must resign. There must be an independent, bipartisan, outside commission to investigate the Trump political, personal and financial connections to the Russians.”...................................
