...Attorney General Eric Holder said there is nothing in writing verifying he actually recused himself from the Associated Press phone records seizure scandal.

Maybe I'm missing something here, but I've never seen the verb "recuse" used without some reference to a judge. Is Holder, who is an executive branch official, coining a new usage for "recuse" merely to escape responsibility for the Associated Press matter? Is this another instance of Orwellian Newspeak?

In my opinion, Holder investigating anything is like Adolf Eichmann investigating the gas chambers at Auschwitz!!! Same goes for anyone in this thug Regime.
