Sessions, during his confirmation hearing, had testified that he did not have communications with the Russians during Trump’s campaign.

[I][B]LOCK HIM UP [/B][/I](Sessions that is). Hopefully if they can nail him on a perjury charge they can start working more effectively towards taking Putin's man in the White House out of office too.
It's worth noting that Chaffetz [I][URL="https://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1552644"]didn't[/URL][/I] call for an investigation into Flynn. Which tells me that either he thinks there is some real shady shit going on here, or he simply doesn't want to get caught on the wrong side of the fence this time around.

This marks a big turning point in their support for him.

It would be weirdly ironic if the Republican party eats itself alive over accusations of collaboration with Russia.
