Dear Mr. President,
Hey, I'm a little confused about something. Why exactly did Jeff Sessions recuse himself
from the Russian probe?
I thought it was because he had had first hand dealings with
Russian officials prior to his appointment as Attorney General. But Sessions said it was because he had
been involved in the 2016 campaign and he didn't think he should investigate
anything related to the campaign. Then
when James Comey was asked about it during his testimony the other day he said,
"We were also aware of facts that I can't discuss in an open setting, that
would make his continued engagement in a Russia-related investigation
problematic." That sounds rather
ominous to me. If he was really recused
because of his involvement in the campaign Comey would have been able to speak
openly about it. Something fishy seems
to be going on (surprise, surprise).
So what exactly are these facts that are significant enough
to cause Sessions to recuse himself from a major investigation but top-secret
enough that they can't be discussed in an open session?
Inquiring minds want to know.
Sincerely,
Amy Beaton
