Jeff Sessions joined the Trump campaign in February 2016. In July and September 2016, he met with the Russian ambassador. On January 10, 2017, while under oath in a Judiciary Committee hearing to consider his nomination to be Attorney General, Sessions was asked by Sen. Al Franken  what he would do if he learned of any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of the 2016 campaign. Sessions responded, “I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I did not have communications with the Russians.”  Is there any doubt now that there will be a special prosecutor and that Sessions might be among the targets?
