“It would be his decision, he is a man of integrity and ability,” Sessions said. “If he feels that he has an inability to proceed with this investigation, it would be his responsibility to make that determination and should consult as I told you I would, as I have done, with the senior ethics committee at the department.”
Sessions, Rosenstein was in charge of the Russian Uranium probe for DOJ. He HAD to know about that FBI investigation that was squelched. I can only conclude that someone has dirt on Sessions and it's really, really bad news.
