How are they allowing Sessions to go on unchallenged.

He believed the Comey could handle himself well with the President, yet Comey needed to be fired? WTF?

Diane should not have let him equivocate on his response to why he wrote is recommendation for firing Comey. It is clear that Trump asked both Sessions and the Deputy AG to write memos to justify Trump's firing of Comey. Why can't they just simply ask that? Diane came close but she let it go by allowing him to divert to the Hillary case.

The rules are different in a Senate hearing

However the things he says now can be used against him if there ever is a real trial. His words can be considered testimony. If he lies the Senators can call him out, but sometimes they just let it sit.

Most of these guys are lawyers so they know what they can get away with. Some of them are grand-standers, and some of them don't give a shit what he says.
