He recused himself from being involved in the Russian meddling investigation. He didn’t recuse himself from investigating the illegal actions of the Obama FBI/Justice Department.

Correct. He is not recused from investigating any wrong-doing within the DOJ and FBI, or from investigating:
Uranium One
Project Cassandra
Clinton Emails
Clinton Foundation
FISA Abuse
etc.
Sessions also recused himself from anything"connected" to any of the Hillary investigations.
SESSIONS: Mr. Chairman, it was a highly contentious campaign. I, like a lot of people, made comments about the issues in that campaign. With regard to Secretary Clinton and some of the comments I made, I do believe that that could place me objectivity in question. I've given that thought.
I believe the proper thing for me to do, would be to recuse myself from any questions involving those kind of investigations that involve Secretary Clinton and that were raised during the campaign or to be otherwise connected to it.
GRASSLEY: OK. I think, that's -- let me emphasize then with a follow up question. To be very clear, you intend to recuse yourself from both the Clinton e-mail investigation and any matters involving the Clinton Foundation, if there are any?
SESSIONS: Yes.
Uranium One, the Clinton Foundation, the emails, the dossier and the FISC abuses are all "connected" to Hillary. Sessions has recused himself from all of it.
