I view his recusal as “a courtesy”. Ironic, I know, because it’s a courtesy to the party who is giving not the slightest courtesy to anyone affiliated with Trump. Arguably it may have been a mistake. A minor one, IMO.
It’s not 1/100th of the mistake that allowing Mueller to head whatever it is he’s heading, however. “Special Investigator”, “special counsel”. Whatever title or term is correct. Nobody really caught this, except for a few scant voices when Mueller was first appointed. But there was no secret about the buddy-buddy relationship between Mueller & Comey and it should have been detected and rejected early on. IMO.
His appointment, I am now convinced, will turn into a complete nightmare. And once again, a gaggle of people who have committed very serious crimes will walk away unscathed into the night. Comey, for one. Loretta Lynch, for two. And IMO, the entire unmasking investigation will be shoved off the road into the ditch and the damage to be done will be done in the form of the American people losing tremendous faith in the judicial system, perhaps all of their remaining faith. Because it’s already in a badly debilitated state with the Clinton walk.
I hope I am wrong. But we have all seen this movie before.

I’m about where you are. Very pessimistic.
