Hillary Clinton wasn't President and the use or her private server for official communications has been investigated. The issue at hand here, is Trump's misguided belief that it's the Attorney General's responsibility to shield a President from an investigation. He took action to impede the Russia probe when he instructed McGahn to persuade Sessions from recusing.
We'll see what the 'new' congressional investigation opening of Clinton's emails brings.
In regards to Trump's misguided belief that it's the Attorney General's responsibility to shield a President from an investigation...that's just an opinion formed, zero evidence. The U.S. Attorney General's advisory relationship with the president, specifically the potential conflict between his responsibilities as the nation's chief legal officer and as a member of an elected administration is pretty normal, the media and outside public tension between law and politics has always been there, and won't go away anytime soon.
What??? Sessions recused himself because he and multiple legal minds within the DOJ opined legal rule and standards that had to do with anyone being deemed a surrogate of the Trump campaign...therefore, since the Trump campaign was being investigated for Russian collusion (lololololol, by the way), he appropriately recused himself based on he and others legal opinion.
Sessions read the statue 'verbatim' in front of a congressional committee when he was grilled on multiple times, and then there were 'crickets' and no one questioned him on it further...he was a potential witness, that's why he recused! Geezz Louise!
