Ted Cruz shrugs off Sessions ties to Russia as nothing burger: Questions are just political theater
What we are seeing is a lot of political theater, Cruz said Thursday on MSNBCs Morning Joe.
Everyone is in high dudgeon about the meeting, Cruz said. The underlying meeting is a nothing burger. Its what senators do every day. Meeting with foreign ambassadors, thats part of the job.
Several GOP leaders including House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) have called on Sessions to recuse himself from the investigation into Trump ties to Russia.
I think everyone is getting all worked up because its a chance to beat up the attorney general and to beat up the president, Cruz said. But I think the underlying meeting is he is doing his job.

The current issue with Sessions is his perjury during his confirmation hearing. The content of his meetings are relevant to his boss and less so for Sessions himself, even if they were nothing.
