Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Russia investigation.
He said in his written recusal released on March 2. "Having concluded those meetings today, I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States."
Any existing or future investigations. Related in any way.
Sessions consulted with the president and coordinated the firing of James Comey. Recall that Comey had testified on March 20 that he was heading the Russia investigation:
"I've been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election. That includes investigating the nature of any links between individuals associated with the Trump campaign and the Russian government, and whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russia's efforts."
That is the investigation that Sessions promised to stay away from. Firing the man heading the investigation -- especially if Sessions knew that the reason was not the one stated in Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein's May 9 memo -- is a matter "arising from the campaigns for President of the United States."
Sessions may have some explanation for why he chose to participate in the firing of Comey. But the attorney general may now be in considerable legal peril.

I am so sick of these people that I could vomit when I see their names in print.

You’ve got them worried...
Prediction: There will be nothing positive written in any SF publication about anything associated with the Trump administration...ever.
oh...that photo hurt my eyes..
Is she another Bruce Jenner? Sex change artist? certainly not a journalist...
Hope she/he stays in California and doesn’t spread his disease.
Jenny, there ain’t no law saying the AG can’t “unrecuse” himself.
Now go sit down and stfu.

So it’s lyn Ted and lyn Session’s now? What are you a Conliberal?
nothing burger with extra relish
lol, Rubin.
If you really want to be informed, make sure you get your info from a twisted liberal writing in her proven poor and inaccurate style in a twisted liberal newspaper about fake news.
Opinon: Jennifer Rubin is a blithering idiot. If there is no “Russia” connection then Sessions can certainly participate in Comey’s firing. But, a person would have have about a 6th grade education level to figure that out.
Comey said he was not investigating Trump
There is no Russian investigation there
Jennifer Ruben is a ridiculous joke.
Jennifer Rubin is a long-respected Constitutional and legislative scholar?
Somehow I seriously doubt that.
I would just add to the description of the opinion...Irrelevant, Dumb, and Delusional
Stupid is as stupid does. Sessions should just do his job and forget about what people think...espciall media whores.
I usually ignore those threads by idjits either too ignorant or too senile to include a comment.. I regret my momentary lapse
This woman has not made one correct prediction or analysis yet.
He should! Sessions sidelining himself was a mistake and he needs to undo it or get out of the way. Trump needs leadership in DOJ to help move this forward as now the Dems are filling the vacuum with nonsense.
