“There was absolutely nothing misleading about his answer,” said Sarah Isgur Flores, Sessions’s spokeswoman.

That is so wildly insulting to the intelligence of the American public. Sessions said, "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians." Sessions met with Russia's ambassador during the campaign. That is what we call a bald-faced lie. And before they inevitably try to pivot to an "it slipped my mind" situation, let's all agree this is not the kind of thing you forget. All anyone was talking about during the campaign was Russia. If you meet with Russia during that time, you don't forget it. And as if this wasn't bad enough (and it's really fucking bad!) it turns out that the ambassador Sessions met with may have been more than just an "ambassador."

Let's just remind everybody of the legal definition of treason:

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

We may not quite be at that definition yet, but we're rapidly approaching it. It's not crazy that a potential perjury charge may be the least of Jeff Sessions and the Trump administration's problems in coming weeks.

For the Democrats' part, Nancy Pelosi has already called on Sessions to resign.

We'll have more as this story develops and this administration disintegrates.
