I get it about Sessions actually facilitating good things in the background but I have always been stumped as to why he recused himself. As Senator, in his many duties, he met with Russians. So what? Any hint as to why he did it?
Based on the American thinker article in post 484 and the premise that session is the ultimate boy scout. I just think it was the ethical. thing to do. And he would not want the hypocrisy of the conflict of interest when he was going to go after the previous administration for crimes and serious conflicts of interest.
ROTFL. It appears you are confused on two fronts. What he has recused himself from, and why.
Attorney General Sessions Statement on Recusal
Transcript: Jeff Sessions' June 13, 2017 testimony
Importantly I recuse myself not because of any asserted wrongdoing or any that I may have been involved in any wrongdoing in the campaign, but because a Department of Justice regulation. 28 cfr 45.2 I felt required it.That regulation states in effect that department employees should not participate in investigations of a campaign if they served as a campaign adviser. So the scope of my recusal however does not and cannot interfere with my ability to oversee the Department of Justice, including the FBI which has an $8 billion budget and 35,000 employees. I presented to the president my concerns and those of Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein about the ongoing leadership issues at the FBI as stated in my letter recommending the removal of Mr. Comey along with the Deputy Attorney General's memorandum on that issue, which have been released by the White House. Those represent a clear statement of my views. I adopted Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein's points he made in his memorandum and made my recommendation. It is absurd, frankly, to suggest that a recusal from a single specific investigation would render the attorney general unable to manage the leadership of the various department of justice law enforcement components that conduct thousands of investigations.
