While her choice not to recuse herself is up for discussion, I think you misread/misunderstood the intent of the memo.

It seems clear to me...but I read the entire memo and only posted part of it.
She does not deny it, and in fact, it was just a written confirmation of her instructions to not only observe the wall between criminal and counterintelligence, but to go beyond the law to prevent even the slightest appearance of crossing that line.
