Breitbart.com reported:

Attorney General Jeff Sessions told a small group of lawmakers in late September he was recused from appointing a special counsel to look into potential corruption surrounding the Uranium One deal and Fusion GPS’s work on the Trump dossier, according to one of the lawmakers present.

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) told Breitbart News on Wednesday that he and other House Judiciary Committee Republicans had met with Sessions at the Justice Department on September 28 in advance of an upcoming committee hearing with Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein later this month.

Gaetz said that when he asked Sessions to appoint a special counsel to investigate the 2010 Uranium One deal and Fusion GPS, the attorney general stood up, said he could not discuss the matter because he had recused himself, and walked out of the room, leaving them with a group of Rosenstein staffers “who showed no interest.”

“He said that anything that had to do with 2016 election, or Russia, or the candidates in the 2016 election, fell under the scope of his recusal, and he left the room,” Gaetz said.

I used to defend him, but it seems AG Sessions wants the easiest job in DC by recusing himself from everything.

Goddamn it. JJDoc thread.

But I still think Trump might use his Senate testimony as a pretext to send him home.

But per Liddle Hands this morning there is no investigation? So, what exactly is he recusing himself from?


Looks like fake news here boys.

I hope this is Breitbart stirring the pot because Bannon got dumped on by his deep pocketed donor.

U1 is not about the elections, so I call BS on this.

He is likely done.

He wants to recuse himself from everything.

I hate government workers.

This? And why did he recuse himself to begin with? Because he spoke to a Russian ambassador? Good grief!

Not everything. He'd love to spend more time and money trying to make possession of a dime bag a capital crime.

Good. Sessions knows that there are tons of marijuana thugs that still need to be caught. This is a nothingburger- marijuana kills thousands per year and uranium hasn't killed anyone since ww2

Pretty much what he has done. He is the guy who is supposed to look into wrongdoing in the Federal government, but seems to have recused himself of that as well.

I guess all he does is direct ICE and search for pot smokers.
