So while people keep talking this up it turns out that this entire "scandal" is really just more fake news. One of these supposed meetings was facilitated by the Obama administration and both were either incidental or in an official capacity.
Seriously, I think Republicans need to take my advice. 100% ignore the Democrats and their cohorts in the media. Just focus on doing their jobs and appointing as many judges as they can. Make absolutely no concessions because no concession will be enough.
Get real, Democrats, there is no good reason for Sessions to resign | Fox News
Sessions should re-institute himself to be involved in all investigations on all matters and they just need to ignore the left as they don't want anything else but the full dismantling of the current administration. However, they don't have power to do anything so any attention given to them is only helping them out.

Obviously, Sessions was talking about discussions concerning the election.
So what are the two meetings that Sessions had? The first came at a conference on “Global Partners in Diplomacy,” where Sessions was the keynote speaker. Sponsored by the U.S. State Department, The Heritage Foundation, and several other organizations, it was held in Cleveland during the Republican National Convention.
The conference was an educational program for ambassadors invited by the Obama State Department to observe the convention. The Obama State Department handled all of the coordination with ambassadors and their staff, of which there were about 100 at the conference.
Apparently, after Sessions finished speaking, a small group of ambassadors—including the Russian ambassador—approached the senator as he left the stage and thanked him for his remarks. That’s the first “meeting.” And it’s hardly an occasion—much less a venue—in when a conspiracy to “interfere” with the November election could be hatched.
Sessions also apparently met with the Russian ambassador in September. But on that occasion, Sessions was acting as a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, not as a surrogate for the Trump campaign. That’s why the meeting was held in his Senate office. His DOJ spokesperson, Sarah Isgur Flores, says they discussed relations between the two countries – not the election.
