Like I said, I don't think Session's recusal was essential either.Okeefenokee wrote:Hanarchy Montanarchy wrote:Yeah, I get it.
Just seems kind of thin to me. And I am certain there are folks around here that would be hard pressed to find anyone pure enough to investigate Trump.
Although, personally, I would rather have Sessions in charge of the whole damn thing, because I thought the reasons for his recusal were pretty thin, and I would rather the investigator have to assert evidence against self interest if something on the Trump team turns up. Fact remains, constantly reshuffling the deck on flimsy pretense just doesn't smell right.
That's why Sessions recused himself, and that's why people are calling for Mueller to recuse himself as well. Fucking hacks pretending like this is a gray area. They've been friends for a decade and a half, and their work history together goes back at least two presidents. Federal law says you can't be part of an investigation if you have a personal relationship with someone involved in the investigation, and you think it's a thin argument to point out that an investigator has had a personal relationship with a key member of an investigation for the past fifteen years.
You know what. Fuck it. Keep it up. Ignore everything I said. Keep showing everyone how completely bankrupt of awareness the left is. You're doing our work for us.
If you work in the same business with somebody for decades, in closely related departments, you are probably going have some business together. If you are a civil person and not a total fuckwad, one might even consider it friendly. I'm not sure that is what the provisions over 'personal relationships' are talking about.
Clearly you think it is a big deal. Seems thin to me.
