The main stream media is in full spin cycle today, whirling a dizzying tale of deceit and treason, in light of new revelations that AG Sessions, in fact, met with a Russian Ambassador and didn't mention it to Sen. Frankenstein during his confirmation hearings.
The Sessions camp says it's complete horseshit, that the Senator had met with the Russian ambassador under his role as a member of the armed services committee, not for Trump.
Here's the scoop.
Sen. Schumer is calling for an immediate investigation into the Trump administration for 'Russian ties' and says he must recuse himself from any investigation into Trump.

RARE PROTESTS are underway at the DOJ, with people chanting 'lock him up', an obvious ode to republican cat calls 'lock her up' -- referring to two time failed Presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton.

The republican response has been mostly uniform, equating it to a witch hunt, replete with 'smoke and mirrors.'

As a result of this uncertainty, stocks are tumbling, especially Trump trade ones that rely on infrastructure spending. On the upside are retail stocks, perhaps pricing in the death of Trump's border tax -- as this new crisis envelopes the White House with scandal not seen since the Nixon days.
Retail focused $XRT is higher by more than 1%, while the metals and mining ETF, $XME, is crushed lower by nearly 4% -- partly thanks to CAT's offices being raided today.
