That's not the reason he recused himself. He recused himself from any investigation into the Trump campaign because he was an advisor and at times a participant in the campaign. He was part of the campaign.
The flimsy excuse of seeing Russians, had nothing to do with Sessions recusing himself?
And if that’s so because he was part of the campaign, he didn’t inform Trump what his plans where going to be when Sessions was to be appointed as AG?
Apparently, like I thought, Sessions did recuse himself because of the Russian contacts no matter how flimsy the reasoning.
“WASHINGTON — Attorney General Jeff Sessions, facing a storm of criticism over newly disclosed contacts with the Russian ambassador to the United States, recused himself on Thursday from any investigation into charges that Russia meddled in the 2016 presidential election.” -snip-
