The Soetoro DS Bureaucrats in the D_J convinced Sessions to recuse based on the WRONG law. I'm still trying to figure out why Sessions recused himself - other than he was a small part of the Trump campaign and an early endorser. Never understood any of that part of the story. Call me dense, but any enlightenment is appreciated.
My kindergartener understanding tells me that since the derps use a microscope to check out every single jot and tittle that Trump and his administration does, especially in regards to law, order and justice (against them!), Sessions had to meticulously follow said jots and tittles above and beyond the call of duty.
Or they would jump on him like the flying monkeys that they are.
There may be more to it than that, of course. But I seriously doubt Trump was actually not informed. I think the apparently contention from Trump to Sessions (which was purely one way btw), was theater. Trump could indeed have terminated him at any time, just as Trump terminated others (like Tillerson for instance).
I believe Sessions spoke in passing to some Russian and the DS swore he
“colluded”.
