In his opening statement, the Attorney General stated he did not have any private meetings with any Russian at the Mayfair hotel. He has no recollection of meeting with the Russian ambassador or any Russian at a reception. He refused to answer questions about private conversations with the President, effectively shutting down the Democrats.
He admitted later he could have brushed up against one but has no memory of that.
The false allegations by Al Franken and his colleagues were blown away by Sessions’ explanation in his opening statement.

He knows nothing about the Russia investigation and has insisted his staff tell him nothing. He recused himself only because of a regulation that states he must not participate in an investigation of a campaign if they served as a campaign advisor. That is the scope of his recusal and it cannot interfere with his ability to do his job.
A longstanding policy of the DoJ is to not comment on conversations the AG has had with the President. Â That disturbed Democrat Senator Mark Warner, a far-left partisan. The Democrats ask the inappropriate questions to get the Republicans on the record as refusing to answer some questions.
