Why Sessions' Recusal Is Not The End of The Story

Trump's attorney general lied, or at least misled his fellow senators, during his confirmation hearing.  Consequently,  since he is now a target in the investigations on Russian interference into the election he can't also be part of the investigation.  Some critics have called for his resignation because the nation's top law enforcement officer is not supposed to lie or mislead under oath.  The Washington Post argues that Sessions is only a player in a broader story.  We know that Russia used a variety of tactics to help Trump win the election.  We still don't know why two of Trump's cabinet appointees, and perhaps other Trump associates, were in contact with Russian's during the campaign, and why they attempted to cover up their contacts.  There has been a lot of smoke suggesting a closer link between Trump's campaign and Russian officials.  Where there is so much smoke there is likely to be a fire.  Trump and his enablers in Congress will do what they can to block government efforts to   uncover the fire.  Jeff Sessions will not be able to use his authority in the Justice Department to prevent a deeper investigation.  Each stop in this investigation makes it more likely that we will learn more about the relationship between the Trump campaign and his friends in Russia.
