It might matter if Session’s hadn’t already succumbed to media pressure by recusing himself.
Don’t be so sure-—I hear that his recusal was specifically so that he would be a WITNESS. Don’t always think people are backing down. There is strategy involved.
Sessions has not recused himself from this investigation. It has nothing to do with the Russians.
In any event, there is more than one competent employee in the Justice Department...
Sessions’ recusal applies to the Russian fiction. He hasn’t recused himself from felonies committed by the former administration. Nunes said what he viewed had nothing to do with the Russian investigation.
It will be interesting to see with the unmasking first took place as in before Trump won the nomination.
The news about Trump and/or his team likely being subject to surveillance even before he was nominated confirms my initial suspicion about Sessions' motives in recusing himself. He knew he could not be involved in an investigation of a matter where he was likely a victim and/or a witness himself.
He recused himself about Russia - not unmasking of info unrelated to Russia.
