4. And this from Elijah Cummings!

In an interview with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, Cummings questioned how far Sessions’ recusal will go. Sessions told reporters that he will recuse himself for anything involving Russia and Donald Trump’s campaign. He did not indicate if it would include ties that surfaced after the election or now that Trump is in the White House.

Cummings railed against Sessions saying that Democrats have been asking that he recuse himself from the second he took the oath for his confirmation hearing.

“Suddenly, now, he says because he’s talked to his ethics people that he is going to recuse himself,” Cummings continued. “They say — they told him he should do it because he was involved in the campaign. Give me a break. He is the number one law enforcement officer in the country. He has been a U.S. Attorney for the state of Alabama, and as an attorney, he knows and I know that there are certain things that you don’t have to talk to the ethics people about.”

Cummings argued that when someone comes before a committee, every syllable stated is important.
