As for recusal or not, either the regulation is followed or it is flouted. I guess what Trump is saying is that Sessions should have flouted the regulation.

Which regulation are you talking about? Do you have a link? I'd be interested in reading it.

Sessions cites Justice Department regulation in recusal ...

"I recused myself not because of any asserted wrongdoing on my part during the campaign," Sessions said. "But because a Department of Justice regulation, 28 CFR 45.2, required it."

"That regulation states, in effect, that department employees should not participate in investigations of a campaign if they have served as a campaign advisor," said Sessions.

28 CFR 45.2 - Disqualification arising from personal or political relationship. <- Link

I think the regulation is cited in post 189. (28 CFR 45.2)
