3. In this case, recusation is grounded on McNulty being investigated by Congress.
McNulty is one of the people in DoJ who is under investigation. Documents being sought include those from his office. Therefore, he has to remain at arms lenght. He is recused! Nothing bizarre in this, nor is he resisting a lawful order.

recusal, a legal situation in which a judge or prosecutor is removed or steps down from a case or action, often when the person has a conflict of interest such as a prior relationship with a party of the case or is a party in the case.

subpoena, subpoena ad testificandum, a written order issued by a legal authority to compel the attendance of a witness at a proceeding; disobedience may be punishable as criminal contempt of the legal jusidiction.
