Neither of which would go to the substance of the recusal issue.

That's like saying, I know the judge represented me for 20 years before going to the bench, but that's no reason why he should have to recuse himself from this case.

I commented on how active she was because you made the comment about being an actively candidate. Just wanted to State she wasn’t. As you said, the waters were muddier because of that.

I agree that, in hindsight especially, it would have been better to recuse himself. But McCabe went and did the right thing by immediately bringing up the issue as soon as his wife decided to run.
