Jeff Sessions didn't make a huge profession of never meeting with the Russians by accident.

The questioning had stumbled on something he was feeling very guilty and anxious about so his mouth went into overdrive telling one lie after another. Guilt people are funny that way.

Most people convicted of perjury are attorneys because, unlike a guy off the street, they can't later claim they didn't know what perjury is.

The FBI is perfectly content to jail someone for perjury instead of what they're actually guilty of.

But people. like Republican leaders in Congress who can easily arrange for Jeff Sessions to be later prosecuted for perjury more often find guys like Jeff more useful to them remaining in place for a while. In their compromised state, they're easy to manipulate.

If Trump were smart he'd let Sessions go, because he can now be too easily turned against Trump. But Trump's problem is probably Sessions now knows too much about Trump to be let go and grilled bu prosecutors. That's why Nixon had to pay cash hush money to the Watergate burglars. Once you've spent your life doing dubious and illegal things like Trump has done, the closer you get to power the more of your energy is consumed merely in a series of cover-ups.
