“What would be the basis for reversing himself?”

By stating that he wishes to limit his recusal to just the issue at hand, the alleged russian colusion. He has in effect recused himself from all things involved in the election, Clinton, the dems, Obama, et al. Maybe a restatement to the effect of recusal just to that aspect of the investigation, not a blanket across the board removal from the field. That would be the equal of the CEO of GM saying I am not going to participate in any aspect of manufacture because the EPA mileage figures were manipulated.

Trump should stop the public needling on this issue. If he wants him gone, tell him so in private. If not, lay off the airways and needle those who need it like Ryno and those chumps in the Senate.

How do you know he HASN’T done this already in private, and that Sessions didn’t say “no”?

You are wrong. Here is his recusal statement:

“During the course of the confirmation proceedings on my nomination to be Attorney General, I advised the Senate Judiciary Committee that ‘[i]f a specific matter arose where I believed my impartiality might reasonably be questioned, I would consult with Department ethics officials regarding the most appropriate way to proceed.’

“During the course of the last several weeks, I have met with the relevant senior career Department officials to discuss whether I should recuse myself from any matters arising from the campaigns for President of the United States.

“Having concluded those meetings today, I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States.

“I have taken no actions regarding any such matters, to the extent they exist.

“This announcement should not be interpreted as confirmation of the existence of any investigation or suggestive of the scope of any such investigation.

“Consistent with the succession order for the Department of Justice, Acting Deputy Attorney General and U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Dana Boente shall act as and perform the functions of the Attorney General with respect to any matters from which I have recused myself to the extent they exist.”
