      How are they being coy? This was clearly an attempt to respond to Comey's testimony and it clearly departs from his on this critical point.

      Not coy: "it was for that reason, and that reason alone, the Attorney General made the decision on March 2, 2017 to recuse himself "

      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

      makes clear that it encompasses both election meddling per se & nature of any links btwn Russia & individuals associated w/ Trump campaign

      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

      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

      Comey has stated inv was into Russia/Trump Campaign. Sessions recused from campaign matters. Real problem is recusal has no teeth.

      Comey did not say that investigation coincided w/recusal and he claims not to have seen any docs on it.

      if Sessions recused only from campaign matters wouldn't that still cover future campaign collusion investigations?

      And if so, what enforcement would there even be? Disbarment? Won't stop him from being re-elected. He has nothing to lose.

      If DOJ reserving right to say Mueller's investigation derives fr recusal which is limited to elections, may create problems for prosecution
