Top Bush ethics lawyer: Sessions must resign, Russia can blackmail him
"The thing with Sessions is that the Russians almost certainly have a recording of these conversations or detailed notes about the conversations," he said.
Painter continued: "And so, they've got something over Sessions. Sessions will be asked what was said in these conversations. And if that doesn't match what the Russians have in their records ... then they've got him, and they have this over him for the rest of his term. We have no idea of knowing whether we're in that situation, but it's just way too high a risk."
With what is now known about Sessions' conversations with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, Painter said he doesn't think the attorney general "could effectively run that department."

briefings w Prez (he is wandering the globe as a figurehead, without authority, or Agent Orange's ear, and he knows it, and the whole world knows it). Geez, I wonder why everything is blowing up. He can't handle this job. Peter Principal, he was a good reality TV entertainer. Actually, he was incompetent long b4 this job, at almost everything else he did.
Sessions should resign, but w the wolves in charge of the chickens, they aren't likely to take out their own. Once again, Comey is obstructing the investigation. He has messed up our country more than JEH. He was the straw that finally broke Hillary's back. We need a demonstration focused on taking out Sessions and Comey.
Yeah, we need more Repubs calling 4 it. This Bush ethics guy helps. The Dems are speaking out, but the votes aren't there to force it.
