He didn't recuse himself because of media outrage, it was because ethical standards demanded it., as not only was he a surrogate during the campaign he also failed to acknowledge several meetings he had with Russians.You asked why.
Why feign outrage (or whatever negative emotion you would like to attach to your reply) when the answer isn't exactly what you wanted?
In your mind, what kind of answer were you honestly expecting?
There's a separation of powers for a reason. The President is supposed to be a servant of the people not their boss. The Department of Justice is supposed to be independent and not act on the President's whims.
