Gregg Jarrett was not helpful in that segment. He did not cite "the right law" (or the right regulation, for the pedantic).

The prevailing belief is that Sessions recused from investigating anything that had to do with Russia, or some such nonsense. But by the simple act of actually reading the public recusal notice, in combination with the regulation cited, one would learn that Sessions recused from investigating the Trump campaign, because he was an adviser to it.

Before that, in his confirmation hearings, he told Grassley that he would recuse from investigating Hillary and the Clinton Foundation, because his public statements suggest he is biased against them.

“...because his public statements suggest he is biased against them.”

Yep, Sessions is Mr. Purity. Recuses himself and turns the investigation over to, exclusively, Obama and Clinton loyalists. Their monetary contributions to Clinton and Obama are so much less than mere public statements.

Fair enough, but why didn't Sessions immediately resign, upon realizing that he couldn't ethically go after the Clinton Crime Syndicate?

Why did he park himself in the position of AG while in such a neutered state, thus preventing the President from quickly choosing an alternate pick who COULD be effective?

Thanks for the wisdom.
