Nothing will happen with Sessions. He is a Republican.

97. No, he wasn't "at work" - he was applying for a new job, as Attorney General

Other nominees take the same oath, and would be subject to perjury rules. It's possible that he has a loophole - that any senator can lie their asses off under oath in Congress, and get away with it (an honest Congress would hold him in contempt at least, but the Republicans aren't honest). But to say "we can't even consider this - it looks like we're wiping our asses on the Constitution" is defeatist. The average voter does not think of the Constitution as a way to allow members of Congress to lie. It says "always give a Republican the benefit of the doubt, and never make waves".

There is a credible case that it was perjury, and it's worth trying to get it decided in a court. At worst, we get to say "so much for 'drain the swamp' - Trump appoints lying weasels who have to use legal loopholes to avoid a perjury charge a non-privileged person would be found guilty of".
