It Exists: DOJ Finds Letter Ordering Scrutiny of Uranium One, Hillary Clinton
daily beast ^ | 3/9/2019 | Betsy Woodruff

After it claimed no such document existed, the Justice Department just unearthed a letter Matt Whitaker delivered to the Utah U.S. attorney directing a review of how the department handled the Clinton Foundation and the Uranium One issues.

Then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions wrote the letter on Nov. 22, 2017 for Utah U.S. Attorney John Huber. Matt Whitaker, who was Sessions’ chief of staff at the time, emailed the letter to Huber that day, writing, “As we discussed.” He also sent Huber a copy of a letter the Justice Department’s Congressional affairs chief sent to the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee on Nov. 13 of that year.

The existence of a letter documenting Sessions’ directive that the DOJ revisit probes of Trump’s top political foe is a surprise because a department lawyer said in court last year that senior officials insisted it didn’t exist. The liberal nonprofit American Oversight obtained the letter through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request they filed on Nov. 22, 2017––the same day Whitaker emailed Sessions’ letter to Huber.....

Why did you only post the cover letter and not the content of the Boyd letter which is what Huber was told to look into? disingenuous much

You seem to have an obsession.

If by "obsession" you mean "job", then yes he does.

This one is a professional.

Huber was Appointed by Obama, and Utah Money has been used over and over to attack and setup Trump.

Huber is working closer with Mitt Romney and Joe Biden than anyone with knowledge of the Clinton Foundation crimes.

(excerpt from the article)

“It strains credulity to believe that the Justice Department didn’t know about this letter when they swore under penalty of perjury that it didn’t exist–you don’t exactly forget about a formal directive to investigate Hillary Clinton signed by Jeff Sessions,” he added. “The fact that they only ‘found’ it the same week Matthew Whitaker was heading for the exit makes it hard to see DOJ’s previous denial as anything but a deliberate attempt to conceal……."

"Sessions and Whitaker shouldn’t escape accountability by skipping town."

The derps seem about as upset as some people on this thread.

Why?

How do you keep a secret? How do you prevent leaks?

Wow that’s weird

Your article you posted twice, from last August says Ohr has never been interviewed. Yet his testimony was just released.

It almost like something was going on in the last eight months that you are completely ignorant of...

There’s no reason to keep a secret. None.

Uranium one crimes were committed years ago, and there’s only one Federal Court System.

Is he reinventing the US Justice system?

Like I said, using your Alice in Wonderland Logic, if there was no action in 10 years from the letter, that would mean it was the biggest case in the country ready to burst.

Bill and Hill are both over 70, or look like it. Maybe 10 years of inaction isn’t the greatest plan.

"Stop trying to confuse me with inaction."

~~~~~~~

Only the self-imposed ignorant confuse Critical-Path planning and execution with "inaction".

This has nothing to do with a certain aplha character; rather whether you support -- or are working to discredit -- our POTUS and his ability to plan and manage a complex problem -- against belligerent opposition.

(Like yours?)

BREAKING: McCabe Investigated Not Just Trump but Sessions Too

Ordering the Sessions probe was “another unprecedented, partisan action that has been forgotten,” said former federal prosecutor Solomon L. Wisenberg, partner at Nelson Mullins in Washington.

BigBobb, you do understand the difference between a Congressional interview and a John Huber DOJ interview, right?

No of course you don't.
