scratchin my head...Boyd’s letter of 11/13/2017 to Goodlatte should have been addressed by the IG report of June 2018 to answer these things.
It’s the Sessions letter of 11/22/2017 to Huber that’s key, here.
Nothing I’ve seen says that order has been countermanded.
Why is it a big deal now, without knowing what else took place between then and now ?
(IG report released in June 2018. Sessions steps down 11/2018 - Whitacre replaces; IG report of 2019 )
I guess we need to know what transpired, correspondence-wise after the IG report was released ?
I have no desire to chase all that down again...
what piece am I missing ?
I think it is about a couple of things.
The left is upset that an investigation into HRC is going on but they have not had anyone leak information to the MSM about it. They have no idea what is going on with it and that scares them. So now we are seeing these letters as a result of a FOIA request by a left-winger who is claiming exactly what you would expect. That Trump has weaponized the DOJ against his political opponents. Think mirror. Projection.
Also, many have stated that Huber has done nothing and weren’t even sure Huber was investigating anyone connected with HRC or U1 or anything related to the Clintons. Think sealed indictments that have been increasing for a year now. Now they know Sessions requested the investigation and they are in a panic.
