The Republicans are in power. Trump won't fire him and no one will lift a finger to prosecute him for anything. Even if they did, the Republican's would vote him not guilty. This Party runs the nation.. and of course he will not resign. Why should he? He has power now.
IF he had been a Democrat, his career would end. But right now, if you were a high Ranking Republican, you could shoot and kill your own Grandmother on nation wide TV and get away with it.

Members of Congress are given an absolute privilege to lie with impunity in the House or Senate, if they so desire, by the Speech or Debate Clause in Article I, Section 6 of the U.S. Constitution. It states that, with regard to senators and representatives, "for Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place." The Framers of the Constitution wanted to encourage debate in Congress, and they did not want that debate chilled by the threat of lawsuits.

(135,425 posts)"top spy - recruiters" adds a little stink to the situation.
He might not be charged with PERJURY in terms of his testimony before a Congressional committee, but he could be charged with something in the neighborhood of espionage. Unless, of course, he "does the right thing" and at minimum, recuses to a special prosecutor or better still, steps down.
See this link, with the video--it's interesting.
http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/01/politics/jeff-sessions-russian-ambassador-meetings/
Sergey Kislyak, the Russian ambassador, is considered by US intelligence to be one of Russia's top spies and spy-recruiters in Washington, according to current and former senior US government officials.
Sessions met with Kislyak twice, in July on the sidelines of the Republican convention, and in September in his office when Sessions was a member of the Senate Armed Services committee. Sessions was an early Trump backer and regular surrogate for him as a candidate.
.....
Kislyak's potential proximity to Russian spying is one reason why Flynn's interactions with him, and Flynn's failure to disclose what he discussed with Kislyak, raised concerns among intelligence officials.
Sessions used to be a member of the SASC, but he was the ONLY SASC member to talk to this "spy-recruiter-diplomat."
I think he's toast, for the "affiliation with espionage as a member of the Trump campaign" reason--not for the perjury. We'll have to see what tomorrow brings. If he tries to ride this out, he's got some serious brass.
I'm thinking that the intelligence community has recordings of "Sesh" talking to his buddy "Serg" that might be problematic. This thing has been moving pretty fast since it was leaked, but I suspect that a lot of the Senators with an INTEL portfolio have known about this for a while--and maybe in the House, too.

(135,425 posts)By "speech" they do not mean "a" speech (e.g. Four Score and Seven Years Ago...) they mean opening your mouth and gabbing.
The ability to lie is "absolute," so long as the sitting Senator is IN THE CAPITOL. If he goes out into the street and starts bullshitting/lying, he's subject to penalties, but it's a Get Outta Jail Free card within those hallowed halls. Again:
Statements that senators and representatives make outside of the House or Senate are not privileged, however. If a member of Congress defames you in a press release or on a talk show, you can sue him or her for libel. Of course, that doesn't mean you'll win.
Ashcroft was in the same situation--he was doing a little bullshitting during HIS confirmation hearing for the same job Sessions got.
muriel_volestrangler
(101,322 posts)Your quote is about "Ashcroft's statement, made on the Senate floor". ie "speech or debate".
MADem
(135,425 posts)appointment as AG.....
Same deal. Same job.
Speech is "talking." It's not necessarily "Forescore and Seven Years Ago." It could be testimony before a committee (Ashcroft/Sessions, e.g.) or it could be the reading of classified documents (Mike Gravel). You don't have to be in the well, debating, you can be in a committee room at a green baize table, responding to queries.
The bottom line is that they can't be "questioned in any other place" about this--which obviates any punishment for their crimes. The FBI or the judiciary system isn't going to come frog march him off for lying--he could get scolded after-the-fact by the committee chairman, but the horse has left that barn...he's no longer a Senator, and he's confirmed. Grassley made sure of that by ramming his confirmation through (ya gotta have friends, I guess).
muriel_volestrangler
(101,322 posts)That article is from 2001; it says:
No. Members of Congress are given an absolute privilege to lie with impunity in the House or Senate, if they so desire, by the Speech or Debate Clause...
The article separates claims about what Ashcroft said in testimony from what he had earlier said on the floor.
Experts are divided:
There is no doubt that Sessions was a senator at the time, there is no doubt that a court counts as any other place, and there is no doubt that the protection applies when members are speaking in committee, not just when theyre on the floor, he says.
Not every expert agrees with Chafetz.
Larry Tribe, a constitutional scholar at Harvard, tweeted that the Constitution only protects speeches given by Congress members not sworn testimony they give in their capacity as administration nominees. Its hard to say whos right, because theres no actual case law either way. But the fact that prosecuting Sessions is even arguably unconstitutional creates yet another burden for a case thats already tough to prosecute.

MADem
(135,425 posts)And I think it brings up assertions that Dems are trying to "wipe our asses on the Constitution" if we even try. The clause means that a sitting legislator (and he was one) can't be arrested at work, or going to/from work and he can't be questioned about his behavior while doing those things--remember Ted Kennedy's kid who drove his car up the steps while "going to work" in the pre-dawn hours high as a kite on booze and Ambien? He was "going to work" so he didn't "go to jail" (he got a ride home from the Capitol police, once they figured out who he was). He insisted he wasn't drinking at the time, but it turned out he'd had a few pops at a local bar earlier in the evening. And then there's Wilbur Mills--pulled over quite late at night for driving drunk whereupon his paramour, a stripper named Fanne Fox known as the Argentine Firecracker went swimming in the Tidal Basin--if that were you or me, we'd be hauled off for it, not bundled up and taken home. The interpretation of "going to and from work" is as broad as the definition of what constitutes work. If they're in DC, those legislators, and Congress is even close to being in session, they pretty much get outta jail free, and the cops know it--their protocol for dealing with a member of the legislature is different than that for dealing with you or me. Old Wilbur even managed to hang on to his Ways and Means gig for awhile, until he turned up shitfaced at a burlesque house in Boston - then he deconstructed under his own steam and finally left public life (though he was re-elected once before that happened).
Sessions was a Senator at the time of his testimony. The man was "at work." Tribe always loves to exercise that document to its limits and while there's nothing wrong with trying that in usual circumstances, these are unusual ones where our entire government, save the judiciary and the deep state, are in thrall to the GOP who are apparently in thrall to the Russians. A better tactic is to get him recused, then trip him up on his "amended" responses (come on, Deep State!) and then get him GONE. Let him assist the FBI with their inquiries (i.e., sing like a canary) in order to avoid charges of treason--he could do it quietly and hardly anyone would ever know.
We know that there was a FISA warrant out if they recorded Flynn with Sergey K--how wide is that net? Who else is on the shit list? It's entirely unsurprising that "Melissa Spicer" shook everyone down and checked their phones at the WH--I'd not be surprised there's a warrant out there with Donald's name on it, too.
muriel_volestrangler
(101,322 posts)Other nominees take the same oath, and would be subject to perjury rules. It's possible that he has a loophole - that any senator can lie their asses off under oath in Congress, and get away with it (an honest Congress would hold him in contempt at least, but the Republicans aren't honest). But to say "we can't even consider this - it looks like we're wiping our asses on the Constitution" is defeatist. The average voter does not think of the Constitution as a way to allow members of Congress to lie. It says "always give a Republican the benefit of the doubt, and never make waves".
There is a credible case that it was perjury, and it's worth trying to get it decided in a court. At worst, we get to say "so much for 'drain the swamp' - Trump appoints lying weasels who have to use legal loopholes to avoid a perjury charge a non-privileged person would be found guilty of".
MADem
(135,425 posts)There are no exceptions--so long as he's at his job site, he's covered.
Look at young Mister Kennedy, going "to" work by driving his car up the Capitol steps. Was he bagged for perjury? Why no, he wasn't, because he cannot be questioned in any other place.
Sessions will never be punished for perjury. I'm confident of that. If OTOH they can prove he was a cut-out man for Putin, they can get him for espionage or treason, but they'll never get him for perjury.

(14,566 posts)Hearing, not engaged in "speech or debate" as a senator.
Very clearly, prior to the radicalization of team R the last decade, this is enough to warrant at a minimum he be demanded to resign his current position, but obviously chances of that are slim
MADem
(135,425 posts)and he was a sitting Senator, and he shall not be questioned about his lying ways in any other place.
As the link I provided illustrates, Ashcroft was a Senator in the waning days of his tenure, in the EXACT same situation--testifying before a committee in preparation to assume the role as AG.
Speech in that context does not mean "giving a speech." It means talking. He was talking (and lying) and he is protected. So long as they're in the building, Senators can lie their asses off, they can even release classified material like Mike Gravel did. And get away with it...the Constitution provides them that cover.
If you want to "get" him, ya gotta get him on treason or some OTHER high crime--but the perjury dog won't hunt.

(135,425 posts)As AG, Sessions is in charge of the FBI.
The FBI is investigating the whole Trump campaign - Russia convergence.
Those facts introduce no small degree of tension into this situation. To add to the fun, this fellow Kislyak was up in it with FLYNN, as well--he's like Waldo, or Forrest Gump....
Senior Department of Justice officials allege Attorney General Jeff Sessions was in contact with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the 2016 presidential campaign, and then Sessions later told Congress no such contact occurred, the Washington Post reported on Wednesday.
One of the two discussions in question was a closed-door September meeting with Kislyak in the then-senator's office, and came amid what intelligence agencies now allege was a Putin-directed campaign to throw the election in favor of President Donald Trump by leaking embarrassing information about his Democratic opponents.
Despite efforts by Trump and some prominent Republicans to kill the story, details of Trump and his inner circle's ties to Russia have continued to beleaguer his presidency. Michael Flynn, Trump's national security adviser, resigned after it was leaked he discussed sanctions with Kislyak before Trump's inauguration and later lied about it to other White House officials including Vice President Mike Pence.

(135,425 posts)There are people in the intelligence community who are doing a bit of "judicious" heavy lifting behind the scenes, and this is an example of that.
Also, speaking of"judicious," if they were in charge of "everything," SCOTUS wouldn't have ruled on the VA gerrymandering as they did. That was a real setback for GOP plans to lock down that state.
I'm not saying things are all hunky dory, but this leak is PRESSURE, and PRESSURE IS GOOD. I suspect a lot of that "tone" shit we saw at Trump's Congressional address had to do with FEAR.
Darrell Issa, a rabid Republican, hinted that this was coming--he wasn't the only one who knew something.

MADem
(135,425 posts)Even though he FLAT OUT LIED to a confirmation committee.
Senators get a "Get outta jail free" card when it comes to communications in session (small S, not the big-un).
They're allowed to tell lies, misstate facts, and even release classified material and not get punished for it. And he was a Senator when he was insisting he did not have relations with that Russian guy.
Remember Mike Gravel? He read CLASSIFIED MATERIAL on the floor of the Senate--the Pentagon Papers. Why wasn't he prosecuted? Because Senators are allowed to shoot off their mouths without fear of reprisal, in order to 'facilitate' robust debate, or something on those lines.
herding cats
(19,565 posts)That's a good point, too. Still, the optics are bad, and we can at least hope for a recusal. We can also use this to help shine a light once again on the Russian connections to the Trump administration. Which is a very good thing, and why this was leaked. That it was confirmed also adds to the validity if the leaks and reporting.
Eventually, all this will be known and I don't expect it will be a pretty tale. It'll be very interesting, but not pretty in the least.
MADem
(135,425 posts)He could be gotten on treason--I'd never rule that out--or he could be gotten on "You skeevy jerk, how can you do that job when you're so tainted?" shaming, so he resigns just to avoid the taunts and jeers.
But the point I'm trying to push home is that there will be no punishment for the crime of perjury. No frog marching, no fines, no prison time.
Will he 'get away' with it? That depends on how pissed off people get. If they can find another crime (not of the "You told a fib" variety) to charge him with, we could still be off to the races. Who knows? Maybe some intelligence agency could lean on him, persuade him to resign and cooperate/sing like a bird as to TrumpCo's marching orders re: The Russians to avoid charges, and then we'd really have some fun.

The way to get Sessions is not with the perjury approach, it's through his association with a known spy recruiter. That "diplomat" is engaged in espionage--we knew it, we kept an eye on him, and due to this Flynn and now Sessions shit, his cover is in essence blown.
Are there phone recordings? Are they "beauts?"
If he resigns, we can assume the answers are YES and YES.
And if he does resign, I'll bet Trump's "tone" will get even more mellow and measured.
I think the Intel Community is boxing in Hair Furor--they're not outright overthrowing him, but they're preventing him from lifting those sanctions and changing his stance towards Russia, his lip service notwithstanding.
The question then becomes "How long will Putin wait?" He's got a pee pee tape, and he's blackmailing for advantage!!!

(17,276 posts)That's going to become an untenable position for Republicans starting with House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) -- in light of this new information about Sessions. Not only is there a very serious question about whether Sessions misled purposely or accidentally his colleagues while under oath, but this is only the latest incident involving unanswered questions about the ties among Trump, his top advisers and Russia.
Former national security adviser Michael Flynn lost his job last month after lying to Vice President Pence and lots of other people about the nature of his conversations with Kisylak. Trump has repeatedly refused to condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin while insisting that stories about his ties to Russia are fake news.
In short: Where there's smoke and smoke and smoke and smoke and smoke, most reasonable people will assume there is fire or that there should be an independent investigation to determine whether there is fire. Arguing that there's nothing to see here is simply not a tenable position for Republicans at this point.

We've already seen them back down on a number of issues including relaxing the ethics rules, rewriting the Muslim ban, "repeal and replace Obamacare" is now "let's fix the Affordable Care Act without anyone losing coverage".
They are bending to pressure because they are facing thousands of calls and emails and protests outside their offices and angry town hall meetings and unfavorable press coverage.
Sorry, but this defeatist attitude on this thread is not helping with anything. Congress cannot do whatever it likes with no accountability to the American people and just giving up on pressuring them for the next two years is not good enough. If we don't keep the pressure on now, we're not going to win in two years and that's assuming Trump doesn't dismantle the system entirely to ensure that Republicans keep winning.
They won't even try to make it go away. They'll let sit out there, in plain sight, rub our noses in it and say, with the nasty tone of the bully, "so what are you gonna do about it?"

I don't like rolling joints, I suck at it. A bong was wonderful but they are messy and get nasty very quickly. Nothing worse than smelling or tasting bong water.
So I hope to buy a vaping device and get some really great Kush! I know it will be good for me in the long run. Some edibles would be nice, or even some oil, which I heard is excellent for your health.
