as a principal adviser to Donald Trump’s campaign, Sessions seems to fall squarely into the provision, even if you ignore the very real possibility that Sessions himself might have an interest in the outcome.

I never said that Sessions was wrong to recuse himself.

What I said is, having recused himself, Sessions CAN'T be 'working behind the scenes', because a recusal means you're I really barred from involvement in said case or investigation.

If Sessions really is working behind the scenes, then his recusal was a lie.

It means that Sessions is overseeing every part of the DOJ other than Mueller’s team. Recusal only affects that.

And one thing that Sessions is overseeing is the DOJ Inspector General which will prove to be far more important than Mueller.
