MoveOn Statement: Recusal is Not Enough; Sessions Must Resign For Lying Under Oath

By . Thursday, March 2 2017

This Is Not Going Away.

Statement from Jo Comerford, Campaign Director, MoveOn.org Political Action:

“Recusal is not nearly enough. Jeff Sessions lied under oath to Congress. This is unacceptable for anyone but certainly unacceptable for the chief law enforcement officer of this country. Jeff Sessions can not uphold the law if he can’t follow the law.

“Nineteen senators and more than 110 House Democrats have come out demanding that Sessions resign. In the coming days, we will be protesting at Republican offices to demand that they too call on Sessions to resign and for a special prosecutor to be appointed to investigate Trump’s ties to Russia. It is far past time they put country before party.”
