Uh, duh! This was first reported when it happened in APRIL 2018.
“Not a ‘smidgen’ of corruption”.
I thought Michael Cohen has already plead out.
The Cohen case has nothing to do with Russia.
Was referred to the SDNY office by Mueller since even he couldn’t defend it.
Why is Sessions not involved? He doesn’t have to recuse himself from this, and Rosenstein should not be in charge of it.
Great country.
The Department of Justice has absolutely nothing to do with justice, and everything to do with politics.
Time to start over, from the top down.

Preet is nasty....
Sessions the worst AG ever is running the most Corrupt DOJ ever
IMHO, The president will soon appoint a special prosecutor which is well within his powers.It is long over due.
Trump fired Preet Bharara was fire last year.
Pure insanity for POTUS to seemingly have no control over the DOJ and having a totally worthless AG. The GOP is useless and gutless. The left is coming closer to their goals. They did not get a Clinton victory but very well may get a Trump defeat or at least taking a big hit to MAGA. This administration banking everything on Midterms and hoping Mueller fails is not reassuring.

Trump-appointed US attorney recused from Michael Cohen investigation
"Trust Sessions"
Isn't that beginning to sound like nails on a chalkboard, now..?
Of course!
Our President cannot be allowed attorney client privilege!
He cannot be allowed an attorney, or a judge, or ANYONE for his defense.
It’s a proper handicap.
He’s win anyway.
There’s enough partisan Trump haters working on this case to fill a football stadium. Enough is quite enough of this shit.
Bahara is the Obama AG that prosecuted Dinesh Dzouza.
This is old news that also contains fake news. Rosenstein had nothing to do with the recusal.
This smacks of a disinformation campaign.
FYI (and for others), the DAG is responsible for direct supervision of the United States Attorneys, and functions as the COO of DOJ. The underlying 25components of the DOJ and the 93 US Attorneys report directly to the DAG. There are another 13 components that report to DAG through the Associate Attorney General. You don’t have to like it, as I don’t, but it has been the structure within the DOJ since !950.
More important, and not said, would be the reason that the removal was requested. Following Occam’s Razor, I tend to think there was a valid reason for it to be done.

P.S. It seems to me that Mr. Cohen had numerous issues with the law apart from his Trump relationship.
‘You needs to recuses yourself’
Partisan witchhunt
Too many democrats doing the hunting and giving judicial pardons I mean immunity to othet crooked Democrats
