It's as if you don't think that Sessions recused himself.
To my thinking, that was the best thing he could do. Put these hacks to work on the “investigation” they were eager to do, let them show their true colors for all, and then—surprise! They’re blatantly violating legal ethics, are involved in a real scandal, Uranium One, and setting themselves up for a fall. It was either that, or investigate the Dossier himself, tell everyone the truth, that there’s no there there, have the same hacks shout “coverup!” and “Nixon!” and make political hay at his expense until he appoints a special counsel and resigns.
