It seems the president and Attorney General Jeff Sessions have been in the news. I guess there's no news there. Yet, for the president, not much of it has been good. It seems every day a new brouhaha is brewing, or boiling over.
The latest being (as of a few days ago) that Sessions spoke to a Russian ambassador twice during the presidential campaign, yet when he was in his confirmation hearing, he denied talking to anyone from Russia.
Yet, common sense would seem to dictate he mention that during the confirmation hearing. It is a red flag that he didn't. But, he has decided to recuse himself from any upcoming Russia-Trump investigation.
That is good news. Yet, a number of Democrats in Congress think that's not enough. They think he should resign from his position as Attorney General. As an goodwill gesture I think those Democrats should back off. It was an error on Session's part. An error of omission, not a sin of commission.
