It was pretty paltry stuff, and certainly nothing to recuse himself over. Compared to what the Dem's and IC personnel have done it isn't even worth mentioning. Likely everyone in congress spoke with the same "Russian intermediary" - Kislyak. There didn't appear to be "intent", which is the legal bar now in the DOJ. factcheck.org In a press conference on March 2, Sessions said his response to Franken was “honest” in the context of Franken’s question. “Let me be clear, I never had meetings with Russian operatives or Russian intermediaries about the Trump campaign,” Sessions said. “And the idea that I was part of a quote, ‘continuing exchange of information’ during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government is totally false. “That is the question that Senator Franken asked me at the hearing, and that’s what got my attention,” Sessions said. “As he noted, it was the first — just breaking news. And it got my attention. And that is the question I responded to.
