Sessions will be gone by the end of the day, today. March 2..

It is guess. It is so clear a lie, and could become the center of attention for months and years. He will be gone because that is what Trump will do. (Of course..it is a guess, and I haven't got a clue..)

I think he will recuse himself, maybe before Monday.

But that is as far as it will go.

Recuse himself yes.

Resign no.

any investigation. I don't think he'll be forced to resign as AG, though. I could be wrong, of course.

7. Now in the OP I did say today...and I stick by that..

but......I agree..that it might be very early on Saturday...only cause Saturday is a very light news day..
by Sunday it will get one day of play, then by the end of next week it will be less important, Why? because he is gone. They will all be talking about his replacement I believe that Sessions will do, what is good for Sessions and no one else....

He knows he broke the law, and will have to resign, sooner or later. In order to save himself..he will just leave, and let someone else do it. Yes, he broke the law but if he is gone, then they (the media, democrats and Drumpf, can argue about something and not include him because.. he is gone, he made a mistake and left because of it He can get himself a good lawyer and take his senate pension and relax. go fishing or whatever..It ain't worth it...Is it? oh....one more idea....to discuss...

Because of this mistake, or lie, or whatever you want to call it, Sessions will always be the AG who lied during confirmation hearings..always. It is early on, and he can get out early on. He knows what he will be known for and the questions will come over and over..What did you know?..Why did you testify and lie?..Can we trust you??
so on and on and on and on.

Getting out now, is best for him. and it will be soon, even if I am wrong about today..(and that is probably likely...but it is only 11:30 am Eastern Time..We still got some time..

He can stay. That's the new standard. Can't lie to Pence. Everyone else is fair game. Ask Flynn.

...and then see if it dies down before Monday.

But now I don't think they'll make it that far.

this is likely to personify exactly what the Drumpf administration is...lying assholes. The AG lied during his confirmation a few weeks ago..think about that one..They person who is supposed to uphold the law, lied during the confirmation hearing and at the beginning of the testimony, he promises to uphold the law and not lie.

.........oh my.....
