If I were Sessions, I'd say forget about me resigning. Let Trump fire me instead and let the political fall-out happen.

Yeah, especially after the extent to which his own reputation has been scorched so far, both in the nomination process and in his hearing appearance.
I also think there's some self-preservation at play here; he steps down, and then a few more details are leaked about meetings he had with Russians during the campaign, and suddenly he's a very convenient fall-guy. But if he stays in his position, the general aura of fake news covers him somewhat. He doesn't go down until the whole administration goes down.
