No it doesn't. Based on actual reports not fairytales, it appears Mueller and Rosenstein were directly overseeing the original "investigation" of Uranium One, but let the deal go through anyway, without alerting anyone of all the bribery that had been uncovered.
Sessions has also stated that he only found out that Rosenstein had hired Mueller as special counsel when it was announced by the press.
Sessions has further testified to Congress that he is recused from this investigation and is leaving it up to Rosenstein as to whether it will be investigated at all.
Bottom line, only Trump associates have been indicted, while Trump screams body murder on Twitter, despite all these bizarre claims that Trump isn't actually being investigated. A more likely guess is whoever is originally responsible for these "Mueller is a great guy" theories is waging a liberal psyop on the weak minded that want to cling to faint hope of the likely impossible.
Did he lie on purpose? I think so.
Remember, this pip squeak was totally a volunteer...who was paying his bills?
Sessions did NOT recuse himself from the Uranium One Investigation.
