This tells Trump he can't rely on undivided loyalty from his appointees.

9. Wow, I can just imagine the explosion of orange hair when drumpf hears this.

Recusal is definitely a cuss word for that idiot and with this Rosenstein is even more in orange assface's path, which is not good for any of the rest of us.
