Today’s Campaign Update (Because The Campaign Never Ends)
Florida Republican Congressman Ron DeSantis, along with 10 other GOP members of the House, sent a letter to Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Christopher Wray on Wednesday, detailing formal criminal referrals against James Comey, Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch and Andrew McCabe. While Sean Hannity and other conservative radio and TV talk show hosts played the letter up as if it is a momentous event, the truth is that it makes referrals that are already being acted upon by the Attorney General.
Sessions has already and repeatedly made it clear that he will act on these referrals and other potential criminal activity by former Obama officials after DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz issues his final report detailing the findings from his 15 month-long investigation into potential criminal wrongdoing by deep state DOJ and FBI personnel during the 2016 election campaign. That investigation also covers the FBI/DOJ handling of its sham investigation into the Clinton email scandal, and thus impacts every one of the Obama-era officials named in the DeSantis letter.
Here are some things we already know about all of this:
- We know that the referral on McCabe is redundant at best, since it is related to the same claims of criminal wrongdoing that got McCabe fired in the first place, and the proof if which were detailed in the report issued by IG Horowitz specific to McCabe’s actions late last week.
- We know without any doubt at all that the referral against the Pantsuit Princess, that she violated campaign finance law by failing to disclose the millions of dollars her campaign spent to fund the fake Trump Dossier, is valid and ought to be prosecuted by DOJ, if there is any such thing as equal treatment under the law in this country.
- We know without any doubt at all that the referral against Comey, relating to his leaks of classified information contained in his memos to the New York Times is absolutely true, and ought to be prosecuted by DOJ.
- We know without any doubt at all that the referral against Lynch, relating to her well-document threats of reprisal against a key witness in the Uranium One case, is absolutely valid and ought to be prosecute by DOJ.
- Finally, we know that Attorney General Sessions has appointed his U.S. Attorney in Salt Lake City, John Huber, to lead DOJ’s handling of all of these cases and more, and we know that Mr. Huber has been working on this assignment since at least last October, and possibly since July of last year. We also know that he has had a grand jury convened for months now, and has been working in concert with IG Horowitz and his team of more than 700 investigators.
So what’s the point? The point is that, while the DeSantis letter amounts to a bit of political grandstanding, it is not meaningless. Every charge made in it is clearly valid, and the validity of every criminal act alleged in it is well-documented by now in the public record.
Sessions has been well aware of all of these things and much more for many months now. He claims to have had Huber leading the DOJ charge to determine who will be prosecuted and on what charges. Horowitz has informed congress that he plans to issue his final report in May, and is in fact scheduled to offer testimony related to that report before Trey Gowdy and the House Oversight Committee on May 8. That would indicate that Gowdy has information that the Horowitz report will have been issued by that time.
May 8 is about three weeks from today. Assuming all goes as scheduled, we will by that time finally have a clear answer to the question of whether Mr. Sessions is a real attorney general who is truly intent upon restoring the rule of law in this country after the previous eight years of abject corruption, or if he is just another deep state actor intent on preserving the status quo.
My bet is that we will find out that Mr. Sessions is a real attorney general, if only because the alternative is too horrible to contemplate.
Interestingly, when Mr. Horowitz offered testimony on unrelated matters before Gowdy’s committee on Wednesday, it was obvious that the ranking Democrat, Gerry Connelly, believes Horowitz’s report will be quite damaging to Democrats. Connelly focused his questioning in a way that tried to portray Horowitz – who was hired into his job by Barack Obama – as a Republican partisan in an effort to start laying the groundwork for what will be the obvious initial Democrat/fake news media tactic after the IG’s report comes out.
Connelly thinks Sessions is a real attorney general, too. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t feel the need to demonize Mr. Horowitz. You should expect to see negative stories about Horowitz to start popping up in the various fake news media outlets in the coming days as well, as the fake journalists ramp up their demonization campaign in earnest.
Just another day in the Horowitz Report is coming America.
That is all.

This is action that Gowdy never took.
Why is Sessions dragging his feet? The clock is ticking.
“In Three Weeks, America Will Find Out Who Jeff Sessions Really Is”
Sadly, we already know.
“In Three Weeks, America Will Find Out Who Jeff Sessions Really Is’
Sorry that headline is BS, we’ve known what “chicken little” is since he recused himself.
“This is action that Gowdy never took.”
Gowdy is a big talker, but no action.
I bet the author loses his bet on Sessions (if he’s back from his undisclosed tropical island paradise).
THIS IS TREASON.
The Trump Administration or any US citizen should take this matter to the Supreme Court immediately, and the Supreme Court should act as swiftly and decisively as it did in the 2000 Presidential election TO HALT THE SUBVERSION OF THE 2016 US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
IF JEFF SESSIONS DOES NOT REVOKE HIS RECUSAL IMMEDIATELY AND PROSECUTE THOSE GUILTY OF THIS CONSPIRACY, THEN SESSIONS HIMSELF IS A CO-CONSPIRATOR AND MUST BE PROSECUTED!
Do you think your use of caps will sway the supreme court to take action?
More than a year to find out who the Kibbler elf really is? I am not impressed.
I see the FR anti-Trump/Sessions trolls are out in force today. They have the smell of sheer desperation.
I saw the title and at first assumed it was a Q thread. :)
Sure, we want Lucy to hold the ball for us again.
The timing is important. You want not too much nor too little time before November elections. The anti-Sessions and pro-Sessions folks will find out who is right pretty darn soon IMHO.

I have seen my Free Republic messages quoted in the national news media--not often and not always admiringly--but with definite impact.
Many more people read Free Republic messages than post on Free Republic.
We know who Jeff Sessions is — a weak kneed, would-be fascist, crypto-racist dwarf.
His fealty is his to old cronies in the Senate, who protect him. Not to the President, the Constitution or the people.
Jeff is too leaky a vessel to place any hope in.
What will the media do when something big is revealed? Will they continue playing the Stormy Daniels card for ratings and ignore Genuine News.? CNN is playing Sex cards 24/7.
“Sessions has already and repeatedly made it clear that he will act on these referrals...”
No,, he’s said he will. Saying and doing are two very different things.
L
Has anyone seen Jeff Session in public lately? How would we even know he is alive?
