Jeff Sessions, March 2nd:
I have decided to recuse myself from any existing or future investigations of any matters related in any way to the campaigns for President of the United States.

How can recommending that the lead investigator of the Trump campaigns potential collusion with Russia be fired NOT be in violation of this clear statement?
Even if Sessions had taken office without the slightest whiff of controversy, with no need for recusal, his actions as attorney general represent a dagger at the heart of our democracy and the rule of law. Our nations chief law enforcer has helped the president fire the man investigating his administration. The lawyer for the people has shown himself to be nothing more than a goon whose allegiance is to Donald Trumpthe personnot to our country, our democracy, or our Constitution.
The fact that he did this in plain violation of his recusal commitments just adds to the outrage, showing just how little Jeff Sessions cares about the rule of law.
The nation cannot have faith in the independence, competence, and loyalty of this attorney general. He is aiding and abetting a presidential abuse of power designed to sabotage what may very well be the most important investigation in the nations history.
