Sessions will be in charge of investigating Cohen??? WTF??

Saw an article at Raw Story which said Sessions would lead the investigation into Michael Cohen. Since Cohen is being investigated for many things, including ties with Russia, meetings in Prague, etc., how can Sessions "un-recuse" himself?

I smell a rat.........pretty much every day now.

Sorry if this has already been discussed. I didn't see anything indicating that it has been.

will be conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York.

By staying involved in the Cohen probe, Sessions is entitled to briefings on the status of the investigation, which is being conducted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of New York. That could put Sessions in the position of being asked by Trump, who strongly condemned the FBI raid on his longtime lawyer, to divulge information about the Cohen investigation

NY is free to bring their own charges, but I'm not sure that they have.
