This took some time to look up. Added to your timeline…

1 Feb 2017 RR nominated for DAG by Trump

8 Feb 2017 Sessions confirmed

2 Mar Sessions recuses

10 Mar 2017 Ordered fired by Sessions (Potus declined)

25 Apr 2017 Senate confirmed

8 May 2017 Memo for Comey firing ordered

17 May 2017 Mueller appt

It's notable that Sessions recommended RR firing 1 week after recusing.

To answer your question, I could not find any articles quickly that specifically stated RR advised Sessions to recuse. However, RR was already in DOJ and Sessions took advice from senior DOJ members. See paragraph from article.

In the March 2 press conference in which he announced his recusal, Sessions explained that he’d consulted with senior DOJ officials before making his decision. “I asked for their candid and honest opinion about what I should do about investigations, certain investigations, and my staff recommended recusal,” he said. “They said that since I had involvement with the campaign, I should not be involved in any campaign investigation. I have studied the rules and considered their comments and evaluation. I believe those recommendations are right and just.”

Hope this helps.

Like you, I had heard RR advised Sessions to recuse. A quick search did not yield any articles confirming it. Could be more fake news.

Sessions himself stated he sought opinions from top DOJ personnel. Since RR had been nominated by Trump on 1 Feb to be DAG, it's likely Sessions talked with RR about recusal. Not that far fetched.

Preaching to the choir, Q.

But you won't release it all to "protect foreign allies".

2 years later and we are STILL just talking about it.

Sadly, I don't think that will ever happen. muh optics….

I think Sessions was weak knee-ed and caved to the pressure. Remember, McCabe opened an investigation into Sessions.
