@emptywheel Right but 3/2 is recusal from any investigation related in any way to the 2016 campaigns, and 3/20 description of the Russia investigation
-
@emptywheel makes clear that it encompasses both election meddling per se & nature of any links btwn Russia & individuals associated w/ Trump campaign
-
@emptywheel A piece of this may be that Sessions doesn't want to admit that he recused because of exposure of his false testimony re Russia contacts
-
@emptywheel So keeping to the 3/2 wording, and the nicer-sounding reason that he was involved in Trump campaign w/out regard to Russia, saves face
