Looks like it to me: it was a knowing & deliberate falsehood made under oath on a clearly pertinent matter. https://twitter.com/Indira_L/status/837134155418857472

  • @Indira_L (Columnist, Boston Globe)
    Legal experts, based on what we now know, is this perjury? https://twitter.com/ChrisMegerian/status/837122890910707712
@jentaub (Vermont Law School Law Professor)
Translation: looks like perjury. https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/837144941616852992

I’m an attorney. This is what perjury before Congress looks like. There’s no gray area here: Sessions MUST resign.

@ACLU (Nonpartisan legal and advocacy organization)

BREAKING: The ACLU is calling for an investigation into potential perjury by Attorney General Sessions

@votevets (The largest progressive veterans advocacy group)
Our Constitution and Republic are at stake. We call on AG Sessions to resign for his #perjury. If he will not, Senate must #ImpeachSessions.

@LouiseMensch (Conservative columnist, The Guardian)

Jeff Sessions both committed perjury and broke the Logan Act. Those are CRIMES. It’s not recusal it’s resignation

@TheChrisSuprun (2016 Republican Elector from Texas)
Wrong. AG Sessions appears to have perjured himself. Time for you to man up and call for a Special Prosecutor. <– PERIOD @jasoninthehouse https://twitter.com/jasoninthehouse/status/837290054385033218

@BresPolitico (Capitol Bureau Chief, Politico)
What would Sen. Jeff Sessions, member of the Judiciary Cmte, say about a witness whose testimony before the panel was shown to be untrue?

  • @BresPolitico
    /2 Sen. Sessions would call for a criminal investigation with possible perjury charges. Covered Sessions for years, I have no doubt on this
@kurteichenwald (Senior Writer, Newsweek)
If WashPost story on sessions is true, not only does there need 2 be an independent prosecutor but sessions must be investigated for perjury

@aravosis (Editor, AMERICAblog)
Sessions was under oath. He perjured himself to hide Trump campaign contacts with Russia.
