   Should Attorney General Jeff Sessions recuse himself from the Russian investigations?
   
   With the news that Sessions met with the Russian Ambassador to DC more than once and lied to the confirmation committee--namely Sen. Franken--about his contact with the main Russian spy--according to the FBI and other intelligence agencies--should he recuse himself?  Or should he resign as one Senator already has suggested? Give your opinion of your take on this.

   Did AG Loretta Lynch recuse herself from Hillary Clinton's investigation, No. And she me with Bill Clinton. She didn't bring on a special prosecutor, and she didn't call a grand jury. Sen Franken?
   
   We have liberals and democrats that have avoided prosecution while breaking the law, and allowing classified and secret information be hacked.
   And you are asking about Russia, where there is absolutely no proof and comparing it to lots of proof and evidence, but that has been ignored.
   
   Seriously. The democrats resisting president Trump is more serious than Russia.
