Russiagate Won't Go Away For Trump

Donald Trump acted more like a president in his address to Congress.  However, things just got worse for him and Jeff Sessions.  His Attorney General lied about whether he had met with anyone from Russia during the political campaign.  He was asked, under oath, whether he had met with Russian officials and he said NO.  It turns out that he had met with the Russian ambassador twice.  Sessions claims that he does not recall the content of his meeting and that he was on the Senate Defense committee during that period. Therefore, it was proper for him to meet with the Russian ambassador in that capacity.  That may be true, but that does not explain why he made a false claim about Russian contacts during his confirmation hearing.  Many members of Congress are calling for Sessions to recuse himself from the investigation of Russian cyberattacks during the presidential campaign.  Some are even calling for his resignation.  Lying under oath is a criminal offense in the US.  It is certainly not very seemly behavior for America's top law enforcement officer.
