Sessions decides not to recuse himself from Cohen probe: report
The Hill ^ | 04/24/2018 | Julia Manchester

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has decided he will not recuse himself from the probe into President Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen but will think about taking a step back from some questions tied to the investigation, according to Bloomberg.

Sessions' move to stay involved in the Cohen probe will allow him access to briefings on the status of the investigation, and to voice his opinion on certain decisions made by prosecutors.

The attorney general angered the president last year when he made the decision to recuse himself from the federal probe into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election meddling. He has since been the subject of Trump's wrath in a series of tweets and public comments.

Sessions' decision to remain involved in the Cohen probe allows Trump to ask him to reveal details and information about the probe.

The probe into Cohen is being led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York.

PDJT hired an attorney general who has turned over all the important investigations to Obama appointees.

Better yet, just resign and let a full time AG clean up the corruption.

It means he will help destroy Cohen just like he has tried to help destroy the President.

Sessions has already given away his Senate seat to a Democrat and recused himself from anything consequential. If he were Honorable, he would Retire.

Sessions gets to "voice his opinion" on prosecutor decisions?

Then what?

The So. District of NY prosectors will do what they want.

Stormy Daniels attorney (Avenetti sp) had a lot to say about Cohen.

And by the way, Avenetti just canceled his interview on Fox for some unknown reason.

As time goes by, I have to wonder if Sessions was a Deep State plant all along.

It means Sessions and Rosenweasel were in on the raid on Cohen.

Ridiculous. His job is not run to the mike job.

We never heard of Comey until he made an example of Martha Stewart....for lying to the FBI and obstructing Justice.
