Am thinking you haven't read Andrew McCabe 'a testimony.  Andrew McCabe said in his testimony that he recused himself from the October reopened MYE at James Comey 's request.  I actually posted the testimony in this post, citing the sauce. Your ignorance is showing. I don't disagree with you, if you misread this thinking JC recused himself.  JC did not recuse, JC made AM recuse in October.
