Deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders today, referring to the FBI's probe into Russia’s interference in last year's election:
"We want this [The Russian Investigation] to come to its conclusion, we want it to come to its conclusion with integrity. … And we think that we've actually, by removing Director Comey, taken steps to make that happen."

That’s it. It’s over for Sessions.
He had recused himself from the investigation into Russian interference in the affairs of the United States, including the 2016 Presidential Election. He was intimately involved in plotting with pResident Trump to develop the pretext to fire Comey. That included duping Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein to prepare a memo that did not mention the word Russia, which in turn allowed Sessions to sign a letter recommending Comey’s dismissal.
But now that the White House has admitted the true motivation, the lying weasel’s been caught. Sessions was already on thin ice for lying under oath about his contacts with Russia. But now he’s been caught subverting justice and doing so in a manner that interferes with an investigation that he had recused himself from.
It’s over.
Democrats must demand his resignation. No compromise.
Resist!

Side note: In an interesting, perhaps related development, Rachel Maddow just had a lengthy segment on the investigation into Manafort and despite repeated requests over the last day and a half, the Department of Justice has refused to confirm to Maddow and her team whether Sessions has recused himself from the investigation into Manafort.
Sessions is a crook. He is compromised to the nth degree. The Democrats in Congress have to bring Congress to a halt by any means to ensure Sessions is canned.
