Shock Headline: Entire Justice Department Recuses Self in Trump Investigation

Citing President Trump's oversight of the Department of Justice, due to it's being a department under the Executive Branch, Attorney General Jeffrey Beauregard Sessions announced Friday morning that the entire department is now recused from any involvement in any investigation having to do in any way with President Trump. Sessions stated: " Ah dooo declayah that we herebah recyuse ourseffs from participitatin' in any wiatch huhnt on the Praesident. Thet is awll! Gud day."

This shocking development leaves many DC pundits unable to speak, which was perhaps the reason for today's announcement. It is uncertain what will happen next.

They're also executive branch departments, under the control of Dear Leader. Who will investigate the President. Perhaps the U.S. Marshall's office?
