In a provocative opinion piece published by Esquire on Tuesday, journalist and author Charles P. Pierce argued that Sessions "probably committed the crime of contempt of Congress."

"To be plain, because of his continual assertion of an 'appropriateness' privilege — which does not exist in the Constitution or the laws of this country — in order to avoid answering questions under oath, JeffBo should be residing in a holding cell right now until he changes his mind," wrote Pierce.

"Everybody on that committee knew that, when JeffBo declined to answer questions about whether James Comey was fired because of the Russia probe, he was hiding the plain truth behind a privilege that he'd made up on the spot. Everybody on that committee knew that JeffBo's memory lapses were at best highly convenient."
