Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle are calling for Sessions to recuse himself. Critics demand that a special counsel investigate Russia’s alleged role in the 2016 presidential election.

So far, Sessions denies any wrongdoing, and the White House claims these revelations are "the latest attack against the Trump administration by partisan Democrats."

And some people—including Nancy Pelosi—don't think Sessions recusing himself is going nearly far enough. They want him to resign and face charges for lying to Congress.

Why the fuck is anybody saying Sessions should recuse himself? He lied under oath to congress; HE NEEDS TO RESIGN
