Reasoning
Prosecutorial recusal is administrative action, not trafficking activity itself. While recusal may relate to prior misconduct in trafficking case, the event itself is procedural remediation, not trafficking-indicative conduct. Scored below thread prior due to distinction between administrative remedy and trafficking conduct.
