Over a year ago I asked whether U.S. Atty. Peter Huber could impartially and fully investigate FISA court abuses and other matters in which his boss Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein was up to his eyeballs, “Can Huber Investigate His Boss Rosenstein?”, in which I asked:
While it is reassuring to note that A.G. Jeff Sessions has climbed down from the back side of the milk carton, where his missing visage had been hiding, long enough to appoint Utah U.S. attorney Peter Huber to independently investigate claims of FBI abuses in surveilling the Trump campaign and other matters, one question remains. Can he investigate the commission of his boss, Rod Rosenstein's, of a fraud upon the FISA court by signing a FISA warrant application that relied on a fake British-Russian dossier financed by Team Hillary and the DNC?Turns out he didn’t investigate anything, according to AG William Barr in his recent interview with CBS. Huber was “dumber” to Sessions’ “dumb”:
JAN CRAWFORD: Um, what's the status of Huber's investigation in Utah? I think the former Attorney General Sessions had asked him to look at this.U.S. attorneys tasked to investigate possible crimes do not defer to inspectors general and cool their heels unless they’re protecting someone. Was Huber circling the airport using the IG investigation just as an excuse to not pursue and thereby protect Rod Rosenstein, who signed the last FISA application?WILLIAM BARR: Right, so Huber had originally been asked to take a look at the FISA applications and the electronic surveillance but then he stood back and put that on hold while the Office of Inspector General was conducting its review, which would've been normal for the department. And he was essentially on standby in case Mr. Horowitz referred a matter to him to be handled criminally. So he has not been active on this front in recent months and so Durham is taking over that role. The other issues he's been working on relate to Hillary Clinton. Those are winding down and hopefully we'll be in a position to bring those to fruition.
JAN CRAWFORD: So he won't be involved in this really at all then?
WILLIAM BARR: No.
JAN CRAWFORD: This is his role, it's done?
WILLIAM BARR: Right.
JAN CRAWFORD: And now Durham is going to pick up--
WILL BARR: Yes, right.
House Freedom Caucus member Rep.Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) exploded on the Ingraham Angle on Fox on both the justification for a special council in these matters and the Mueller-like conflict of interest inherent in Huber’s appointment:
“When the attorney general writes Congress and says, only under ‘extraordinary circumstances’ do we appoint a second special counsel, well, how about these facts, Laura?” Jordan asked.House Freedom Caucus Chairman Reps. Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) echoed Jordan’s sentiment, reciting his mistrust of anything the DOJ, which has been dragging its feet in cooperating with House investigations, says or does: :“James Comey's been fired; Deputy Director Andrew Mccabe has been fired; Jim Baker, former chief counsel of the FBI, has been demoted and reassigned; Peter Strzok, former deputy head of counterintelligence, has been demoted and reassigned; and Lisa Page, former FBI counsel, has been demoted and reassigned. If those aren't extraordinary circumstances warranting a second special counsel, I don't know what the heck is.
“So I don't know why the attorney general keeps postponing this,” Jordan continued. “Everyone in town knows we need a second special counsel to get to the bottom of this. How can Mr. Huber -- he's probably a great lawyer, I don't know much about Mr. Huber from Utah -- but how can he investigate his boss, Rod Rosenstein? That's who he reports to.
“I disagree with the attorney general, and I can tell you tonight, I went through and reviewed some redacted things that were given to our committee, and on seven pages, there were 12 material facts -- material facts, not just names -- material facts that were omitted by the Department of Justice,” Meadows said.Former House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz noted in a tweet:“It's time that they come clean and give Congress what we need,” he continued. “When we look at the multiple reactions that have taken place, this Department of Justice is not complying with the subpoena and with the oversight responsibility we have in Congress. For the attorney general to suggest that there is not enough there is just extremely disappointing.”
Rosenstein is asking Huber to do something that's unfair and inappropriate. You're asking Huber to investigate his boss.Rod Rosenstein misled the FISA court and signed off on the FISA application to spy on Trump’s campaign advisor Carter Page, actions documented in the four-page House Intelligence Committee memo:

Who is “Peter” Huber.
“...Was Huber circling the airport using the IG investigation just as an excuse to not pursue and thereby protect Rod Rosenstein, who signed the last FISA application?,,,”
Obviously. He was just doing lazy eights with unlimited fuel ...until Barr came along.
“Who is “Peter” Huber.”
Peter Pumper.
Who is “Peter” Huber and other FBI/DOJ thugs hating our President!
doing lazy eights with unlimited fuel
Sessions was either blackmailed (like John Roberts) or a part of the Deep State.
Either way, he appointed Huber to give cover to the Deep State, not to reveal anything. It was a sham.
This also proves that Qanon is full of Shiite after repeatedly telling people to “trust Sessions”.
Huber has been identified as a deep state criminal.
Trump should fire him and he should have his law license pulled. There are consequences to what amounts to obstruction of justice, same for Rosenstein
How do the Q bots explain this?
Byron York yesterday wrote in the Washington Examiner the most succint argument yet: Dems and the media took all the FISA warrants, FBI spying, and initially the Steele dossier, on the value they were was all true and legitimate until proven otherwise except the reverse of it in which the burden of proof is upon the accuser.
As York said, no one before Mueller has ever written that while his report does not find Trump guilty his report did not exobnarte Trump. As if it is his job to do that or that a jury would ever say they do not find someone guilty but neither do they exonerate them.
Dems must prove that Trump is guilty before they even think of impeaching him...
Huber has to prove his worth. Right now he is just a waste of skin.
I’ll say it again n again...Sessions WAS the swamprat’s INSURANCE POLICY!! He recused himself without consulting President Trump and more obvious HE DID IT WHEN TRUMP WAS OVERSEAS...Slimy bastard!!!
Well, if Session is/was a swamp critter, then it follow that Q was probably swamp material also.
I got “exobnarted” once. It hurt like h*ll and took over a month to heal. LOL
Sessions appointed Huber to take the pressure off appointing a REAL
Special Council. Most of us here knew what it was. A few cultist here could
not see beyond their narrow views.
Huber was NEVER going to investigate anything.
Sessions pretty obviously now a highly compromised plant put into Trump’s campaign from the start.
So if that was "normal for the department" will the new investigator appointed by Barr also be on standby in case Mr. Horowitz refers something to him?
Yep. Like a classic psyop Q mixes in some genuinely good info with the deflating disinformation.
Longtime Freepers will probably remember when “Quidam” did that here during the Clinton impeachment saga. Dropped all kinds of tidbits of hope with some sound, insider info until none of it came to fruition and he disappeared.
Maybe Qanon is full of Shiite. Maybe Sessions was a ‘plant’.
HOWEVER, sometimes you need decoys to keep the enemy busy.
Have you ever seen the old movie, THE STING ?
