Chucky Schumer says that Jeff Sessions should step down as Attorney General because he said he would recuse himself from investigations into Trump collusion with Russia, but recommended that Comey be fired.

On #CNNSOTU @SenSchumer says that Sessions should be be investigated by IG and Senate for not recusing himself https://t.co/0QcJlUAPJD — State of the Union (@CNNSotu) May 14, 2017







From the Hill:

Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Sunday raised questions about whether Attorney General Jeff Sessions violated his recusal promise. During an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Schumer said he thinks Sessions should be investigated. “He didn’t tell the truth about meeting with the Russians, so he recused himself,” Schumer said. “Now he seems to be violating that recusal, that would seem on its face to be part of this.” Schumer said he asked the inspector general to look into “any interference to thwart the investigation” regarding Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election as well as whether Sessions “should have participated in the firing of Comey.”

Here’s the whole interview:

Schumer would have a tiny scintilla of credibility on this issue, except that he yells “step down Sessions!!” every time he stubs his toe.
