It just goes against everything we know about the man. I still want to think that his foolish decision to recuse himself causes his “gentlemanly” mind to think that he can do nothing to help the president in all this. At the right moment he must resign and let the right thing be done! It is up to POTUS.
Being a Southerner, this “Southern gentleman” nonsense irritates me. If he were a “Southern gentleman” he would have resigned before his recusal or shortly afterward. He is not a gentleman, but a snake.
