Attorney General Jeff Sessions lied under oath at his confirmation hearing about his contacts with Russian officials during the presidential campaign while being a foreign policy advisor for for then candidate Trump.

The integrity of our democracy is under attack by foreign powers and the executive branch is taking no action. Voters view the integrity of the United States democratic process at its lowest since the resignation of Richard Nixon. Our legislators must enact the checks and balances of our government and take action.

The web of lies surrounding the Trump administration and its relationship to Russia needs to be thoroughly investigated by an independent special prosecutor. Additionally, the fact that Jeff Sessions lied under oath during his nomination hearings makes him unfit to be attorney general and he needs to resign. America deserves to know the truth about how Russia impacted the election and whether it will continue to influence the Trump administration.

The Washington Post just revealed that U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions lied under oath at his confirmation hearing about his contacts with Russian officials during the presidential campaign, when he was a foreign policy advisor to Trump. Key GOP leaders have called on Sessions to recuse himself from Russia investigations, but that's not enough. The fact that he perjured himself demands his immediate resignation and the appointment of a special prosecutor by his successor to lead a comprehensive investigation of the Trump campaign and the Trump administration's ties to the Russian government. We need to pressure Republicans in Congress to do the right thing and join their Democratic colleagues in calling for Sessions' resignation

Clear and compelling evidence exists that Russia meddled in our presidential election, perhaps determining the outcome. The scandal reaches deep into the government. Members of the administration--including the current attorney general--have lied under oath about their contacts with Russian officials. The health of our democracy requires a thorough and impartial investigation by a special prosecutor.

We need a person with experience and ethics holding the position of attorney general, someone who is unbiased and beyond reproach. After lying under oath about meeting with Russian envoys as an adviser to Donald Trump's campaign, Attorney General Jeff Sessions must resign.1 Additionally, a special prosecutor must be appointed to investigate Trump and his colleagues' alleged involvement with Russians and other questionable activities related to financial and campaign ethics.

To help remove a racist scoundrel from office.

The safety of our children and the security of our nation depend on full disclosure of any ties to Russia.

The greatest Nation in the history of the world, based on Christian principles and ideals, is falling away from the Truth to the point we are losing our Democracy to an authoritarianism, mired in falsehoods and slanderous lies to maintain their position and political power. The Trump regime must not be allowed to desecrate our sacred Oath and Compact- The United States of America is a nation of liberty, honor, and integrity that is under attack from within.

We believe that such close ties with a hostile foreign power pose a real and imminent threat to our country and its democratic traditions. Any such ties will put Russia in a position to pressure our Administration to adopt positions advantageous to Russia and disadvantageous to the American people.

American Federal Law states that perjury in any form while under oath is punishable by Law under 18 U.S.C. 100, 18 U.S.C. 1623. The fact that Sessions perjured himself means that he must immediately resign. A special prosecutor should be appointed by his successor to lead a comprehensive investigation of the Trump campaign and administration's ties to the Russian government.

One of the many international artists who are traveling in order to perform at this year’s South by Southwest (SXSW) Conference and Festival in Austin, Texas Tweeted out a photo of his contract to illustrate that he could be deported, denied entry to the United States by Customs and Border Patrol, and have his passport revoked if he performed at an unsanctioned SXSW event. Instead of remaining as a fun and interactive event for every attendee and performer, SXSW has decided to help carry out Donald Trump’s mass-deportation agenda by threatening and intimidating event-goers with deportation. This is an unacceptable, and disturbing, punishment by SXSW organizers that could destroy artist’s careers, prevent them from returning to the United States, and expose any undocumented performer to swift and immediate deportation. Please join me and demand that the SXSW Conference and Festival stops threatening and intimidating attendees with deportation immediately!
