If Sessions has recused himself, why would he be requesting this sort of material? Very fishy claim imo.
I believe you are correct. It is “fishy” My take, Comey recorded conversations on his own phone for over a year. This apparently ended upon his firing but I don’t know if that is true.Sessions had all Comey’s computer, emails, phones, records, files, memos, etc... since the firing. sessions couldn’t figure out the phone tap. Federal Judge told him to “boil his head”. The phone was either his personal property or belonging to the Gov’t. If it is the Gov’t, he does not have rights to the property. If it is personal, he is conducting Gov’t business on his own phone. Either way he is committing a crime. He is also taping all calls. Even with POTUS. Thus he has tapes of Obama and Trump. Trump has a right to be free from being taped unless he was the person being investigated. Comey has testified that Trump was never under investigation.
The further issue is Obama. I am sure he isn’t getting involved. What about Lynch? What about Senators and Congressman? Comey is taping everyone. Probably has all calls from july ‘16 to set up fake interview with Hillary. This can get really messy. Comey was probably using this as insurance(life). Now he seems to be into extortion.
