is a recusal legally binding? Can sessions just go "lol I'm no longer recusing myself"?

No, yes. But as a political and practical matter, I doubt it'll happen, even in this timeline.

Doesn't reneging on or violating the spirit of a recusal open him up to being disbarred?

He wouldn't reneg, he'd reconsider. It would open him to disbarment less than lying to Congress would.

Chief law enforcement officer of the U.S. is different from a guy on a congressional committee, and Sessions unrecusing to fire Mueller is different than Nines issuing a subpoena.

To be fair, King and Spalding have 800 attorneys in offices in 8 US and 9 foreign cities, including Moscow. They also have a strong oil and gas law practice.

On the other hand, for the price of a single Su-35, Russia could stick a stink onto every lawyer ever associated with the top 500 law firms in the US by giving them a 100,000 retainer for ... something.

Canoeing is shooting a dead body in the forehead at an angle so it digs out a canoe shaped divot. It's a stupid practice invented by Seals. One of the idiots who claimed to be the Bin Laden killer allegedly did it to him despite being told not to shoot him in the face so identification didn't get screwed up.

I'm familiar with Tombstone, I just thought shipping was funnier. I didn't know the Seals had turned a movie's threat with a colorful metaphor into a real thing.

man i'm real torn on this because on the one hand gently caress the tories, but on the other hand Corbyn is literally an insane terrorist sympathizer

Is this Fox news-speak for 'Corbyn is left of May and Cameron', or are there some facts that most people agree would make him a terrorist sympathizer?

FOIA applies only to the executive branch.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if Flynn is pardoned then he HAS to testify on everything right?

If he's pardoned and he accepts the pardon he cannot assert his Fifth Amendment privilege over any conduct covered by the pardon.
If he refuses to testify in that scenario, he can be held in contempt until he does testify.

Obama's white house counsel's opinion on whether a sitting president can be indicted. constitutional crazyness abounds.


Except for the last two pargraphs, it's a dumb opinion. "If we took the Constitutional considerations out of the discussion, how might we address this Constitutional question?"
But I suppose nobody would have given him the space to write if he was just going to say, "Oh hey, look at what the 25th Amendment says!"
