Pelosi Statement on Attorney General Sessions Recusal Announcement
Washington, D.C. Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after Attorney General Sessions delivered a public statement announcing he will only narrowly recuse himself from overseeing the investigation of the Trump Campaign:
Attorney General Sessions narrow recusal and his sorry attempt to explain away his perjury are totally inadequate. He is clearly trying to maintain his ability to control the larger investigation into the sprawling personal, political and financial grip Russia has on the Trump Administration.
Attorney General Sessions lies to the Senate and to the American people make him unfit to serve as the chief law enforcement officer of our country. He must resign immediately.

If he was a patriot, he would resign. If he wasnt a criminal and racist, he would resign.

In an interview with CNNs Wolf Blitzer, Cummings questioned how far Sessions recusal will go. Sessions told reporters that he will recuse himself for anything involving Russia and Donald Trumps campaign. He did not indicate if it would include ties that surfaced after the election or now that Trump is in the White House.
Cummings railed against Sessions saying that Democrats have been asking that he recuse himself from the second he took the oath for his confirmation hearing.
Suddenly, now, he says because hes talked to his ethics people that he is going to recuse himself, Cummings continued. They say they told him he should do it because he was involved in the campaign. Give me a break. He is the number one law enforcement officer in the country. He has been a U.S. Attorney for the state of Alabama, and as an attorney, he knows and I know that there are certain things that you dont have to talk to the ethics people about.
Cummings argued that when someone comes before a committee, every syllable stated is important.
