SPYGATE: Liberal Law Professor Jonathan Turley: Obama Spying on Trump Should be ‘Investigated’..

I should clarify something ... and I apologize if you haven't been working with complete information as we've been trading these messages.

I do not believe that Sessions has a conflict of interest just because he was nominated by Trump. In this particular case, I believe Sessions has a conflict of interest because the investigation is going to involve potentially illegal surveillance by the Obama administration -- and Sessions himself may have had his phone or e-mail communications intercepted.

I believe Sessions may have a conflict of interest because he may be a VICTIM and a potential WITNESS in the case, not because Trump happened to nominate him.

In other words, the actual reason for Sessions' recusal may not be what everyone assumes it is.
