Attorney General Jeff Sessions told a small group of congressmen that he can't open an investigation nor name a special prosecutor to look into the corruption surrounding 2010's Uranium One deal because he has, once again, recused himself.
As Sessions explained, "any person involved in any investigation must have no prior knowledge of the parties likely to be under scrutiny. Well, I have prior knowledge of Mrs. Clinton, President Obama, Robert Mueller, and James Comey—each of whom has fingerprints all over that uranium thing. You see, it's like a juror being discharged if he knows any of the participants in a trial. Frankly, I don't see how anyone who's paid any attention to the news over the past eight years wouldn't have to recuse himself. That wouldn't seem to leave anyone available to take up the case. I know it seems stupid, but that's how our blind justice system is supposed to work."
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla), one of the congressmen who witnessed Sessions recusing himself, characterized the AG's reasoning as "lame and confused. If every prosecutor took such a stance no person of notoriety could ever be brought to justice. Sessions' passing of the buck to Rosenstein—a lesser known person who may also be implicated in the Uranium One scandal—is senseless and irresponsible."

The Person doing the investigation is subject to “Recusal”, not the Attorney General asking for an investigation. His “Recusal” is like a Police Department refusing to investigate a crime because the Chief of Police knew the criminal. Under his Insane Interpretation, the LA Police would not have investigated OJ because he held benefits for COPS.
