Former U.S. AG Jeff Sessions’ Troubling Legacy: U.S. Attorney John Huber’s Probe of FBI Misconduct
IWB ^ | LV

Posted on 03/19/2019 6:33:14 AM PDT by davikkm

There are two major investigations taking place concurrently at the U.S. Department of Justice; i.e., Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into alleged Trump-Russia collusion and U.S. Attorney John Huber’s investigation into purported FBI misconduct. The Mueller investigation began in May 2017. U.S. Attorney John Huber’s investigation began in November 2017 after former U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions bowed to congressional pressure and selected Huber to look into alleged malfeasance by FBI officials.

John Huber, a Utah-based U.S. Attorney appointed by President Obama in 2015, is looking into the FBI’s use of dubious Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court applications to spy on a Trump associate named Carter Page. He is also investigating the FBI’s handling of the Uranium One deal and probably the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email investigation as well. Huber is yet to deliver any report of his findings after almost a year and a half, despite a plethora of incriminating evidence.

Was Sessions an inept swamp dweller or a traitorous swamp dweller?

Anyone expecting anything other than a Huber whitewash is simply delusional. I’m sure some loon will pipe in about the 3000 sealed indictments nonsense.

Huber’s failure to deliver a report after so much time is incredible considering the fact that many FBI and DOJ officials have been fired

No it's not:

Know when to hold 'em
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to charge 'em

Mueller will never end his investigation on his own.

If Huber is waiting for Mueller he’s going to wait a long time.

What a joke our government has become.

I still don’t know what to make of Sessions.

In late 2016, I spent an hour on the phone with him discussing the transition. I was that confident Trump would win, and that, like Reagan, they needed to begin their transition work immediately. Sessions agreed. He seemed sensible and totally committed to Trump.

In early 2019, I spoke with a known pollster who has a friend close to Sessions. This friend told the pollster that the Sessions he had known all his life was not the gut in the AG office, and he couldn’t understand what had happened to him. He thought it suspiciously sounded like Sessions or his family had been threatened.

Sessions was a washout as AG, and we lost his senate seat. That’s a lose/lose.

Sessions did sound panicky when the ridiculous accusations of being in touch with the Russians were hurled against him.

Still no excuse for throwing the entire country into turmoil by recusing himself.

[[Was Sessions an inept swamp dweller or a traitorous swamp dweller?]]

He tried to run the DOJ with the mindset of a Senator not as an administrator. Was over his head immediately. He also checked out at the very beginning.

Why to people persist in believing the fantasy that Huber is investigating anything to do with Hillary’s emails? How do I know it is a fantasy? Because the IT guy that destroyed evidence under subpoena and then lied to the FBI about it is walking around a free man. Talk about low hanging fruit. Any real investigation would begin with him being charged, in the hopes of turning him into a “cooperating witness”.

Huber ain’t doing squat.

I serious doubt Huber has or is doing anything. This needs a public special counsel instead. Probably several.

IMHO once he was Confirmed he was met by a Few leaders of the Deep State. Probably the F_I, C_A and a few others that told him straight up, you go after us or the Clintons and we unleash hell on anyone assoicated with you. Starting with those closest to you.

I have no doubt, John Roberts was extorted the same way.

Absolutely possible. Again, just guessing, but I think he and/or his family were threatened.

Actually, the last total was around 85,000! But who’s counting.

Like most of these Swamp Dwellers, I believe they were hopelessly compromised. Old folly’s have long legs these days and they are trapped in their own private prison’s of hell by blackmail.
