I thought his recusal was the right thing given his interactions with Russians during the Presidential Campaign.
What happens next?

SNL has skewed him over the last couple years.
They will likely do a last sketch this weekend.

I agree, rfenst, that his decision to recuse was correct by any standard of politics, except Trump's...

what comes next will be a knife fight as his chief of staff, who will ascend to the AG job, will try to shut down the Mueller investigation and the Dem House will try to ensure the investigation is completed...

we are in for an even more drama-filled second half of Trump's presidency...

Not the right thing to do when you don’t disclose that ahead of time to the POTUS.

I don't think it was the stepping aside that pissed off Trump, it was not disclosing he would if he took the job.. Mellow

how was Sessions supposed to know, when Trump offered him the AG job, that Trump would fire Comey, which was the event that led to Mueller's appointment as special prosecutor?

Trump should've kept Comey and let the FBI continue to look into the "Russia thing"...he and Sessions would've had a better shot at keeping that in line...

but Trump does what Trump does...

that's if Trump allows Mueller to finish the job...that seems to be in question now...

and if he does pull the plug on Mueller's special investigation, the consequences will be just as disastrous as Sessions recusing himself when Trump pulled the plug on Comey...
