#1 Attorney General Jeff Sessions' recusal from the Russia investigation.

I never understood why Sessions recused himself. Maybe, it was a part of the deal necessary for his confirmation as AG. Pubs should have employed the nuclear option and gone on. I don't recall Loretta Lynch or Eric Holder recusing themselves on anything.

#2 Get on the stand under oath and say that so we can determine who goes to jail.

#3 I think that one of the more interesting ironies of the Comey testimony is that, in the end, for special counsel Robert Mueller to be able to "credibly" assert that his investigation followed the evidence "wherever it led" is that at some point there is the probable possibility that it will become necessary to open an investigation into the legally questionable actions and motives of James Comey.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the entire Russian investigation on the hypothetical possibility that evidence (or a case) pertaining to any member of the Trump Campaign may come before him. It was the recusal of Jeff Sessions that opened the door for the appointment of a special counsel in the first place.
Since the testimony of James Comey has now became a major, integral, and incontrovertible piece of evidence to the entire Russian investigation and as former acting Deputy Attorney General and Director of the FBI, should Robert Mueller not be held to the same standard as Jeff Sessions ?

If Robert Mueller truly does possess any of the wonderful characteristics and attributes so effusively heaped upon him by both sides of the isle he will have no choice but to recuse himself.
But I wouldn't bet on it.

#4 I don't whether it's credible but I've read that Comey and Mueller are ~~thick as thieves~~ close.
