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.

You left out “Russian trolls.”
“,,,,,,,take this matter to the Supreme Court immediately”.......
My bet is their decision will be “more of the same” as they too will drag their decision out till the end of Trumps remaining time in office then all will be directed to the “trash bin of history”. Simply, NOTHING will change.
Swamp dwellers using our own laws against us only for the purpose of protecting themselves.
Trey is a hack and part of the enemy.
I think I heard Sarah Carter say on Hannity yesterday that her sources say there will be an indictment as part of the IG report. Crosstalk drowned it out. Wish she could have elaborated.
And as for the specific referrals in the DeSantis letters, that is friken major. Nobody else has done that. Not in broad daylight anyway. Lots of talk of behind the scenes beep boop Q chess, but this is actual public action. It cannot be ignored by Sessions, Rosenstein, and Wray. Not if they want to keep their jobs.
Documented allegations of crimes, publically presented and sent to the heads of the doj. Specific statutes named. DeSantis Immediately on Hannity, backing it up.
Stake in the sand.
When something big that is positive for PDJT is revealed, the swamp media will simply ignore it. How much press did President Trump’s meetings with Abe get? I cannot bear to read the leftist press or watch their TV shows, but I doubt it is anywhere near as much as their anti-Trump coverage.
No reasonable prosecutor would prosecute....or words to that effect.
Yet so many here thought he was a white knight and a great man. They continuously cheered him leading investigation and hearings with nothing at the end. He was a bought and paid for stooge to keep the informed masses thinking something was being done.
I know when someone in the government is screwing us big time when FR posters start doing the political hack is magnificent bastard BS. Yes A prosecutor (AG) keeping his mouth shut and spending months setting up investigators with lead prosecutor and a year of investigations/documenting the crimes is called a hack and a Keebler Elf. People are so ignorant. Only political hacks with nothing hold continuous press conferences.
“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.”
What we are going to find out is Hillary, Obama and the entire cabal are now civilians and while all these crimes are laid out for all to see, there will not be any prosecutions.
My bet is the only reason Page and Strozk haven’t been fired yet is because they are the assigned fall guys and will take all of the blame and serve to jail time.
People get caught up in words and forget to expect actions.
Such a clever comeback
There sure are a lot of posters on FR rooting against Mr. Sessions. It’s like a conspiracy.
>>Trey is a hack and part of the enemy.<<
It amazes me how that clown can suit up and run his yap in the public forum day after day and yet never actually DO anything to back up his big mouth. Freaking USELESS!
Do any of the guilty pleas by Americans so far have anything to do with the campaign? Because the campaign is what AG Sessions recused himself from.
Yep! It’s all taken care of by the Sixth Amendment. /sarc
This is a great post. It sounds like common sense to me!
Everything must be timed perfectly. The dots must be connected. The massive puzzle cannot be connected without covering every base.
If you know who Rosenstein is then you know who Sessions is. Rosenstein is a pro-Hillary anti-Trump Deep State snake. Now let’s see what Sessions has to say about Rosenstein:
‘Attorney General Jeff Sessions on Friday went off-script during a speech to praise Rod Rosenstein shortly before the release of a GOP-authored memo reportedly targeting the deputy attorney general. During his remarks at a Department of Justice event on sex-trafficking issues, Sessions thanked Rosenstein and Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand, saying, “Those two—Rod and Rachel—are Harvard graduates, they’re experienced lawyers. Rod had 27 years in the department. Rachel’s had a number of years in the department previously and so they both represent the kind of quality and leadership that we want in the department.” President Trump has reportedly viewed the memo—even before ever reading it—as a way to build a public argument against Rosenstein’s handling of the Russia probe.’

Why is it that only 10 house Republicans signed this letter. ONly 10. That in itself is disgusting. Should have been every dang one of them. I’m picking up the phone today.
“There sure are a lot of posters on FR rooting against Mr. Sessions. It’s like a conspiracy.”
I loudly applauded the appointment of Jeff Sessions as AG. However, my enthusiasm for the pick has cooled significantly, as Sessions has shown himself to be...well, rather feckless.
Don’t we have an idea already?
Although the public has only recently seen the IG report
on McCabe, DOJ has had the report since late FEB.
He was fired, but where are the indictments for lying
under oath?
The inaction of DOJ on McCabe gives us a hint of
what is coming.
