Sessions considering second special counsel to investigate Republican concerns, letter shows

'Attorney General Jeff Sessions is entertaining the idea of appointing a second special counsel to investigate a host of Republican concerns — including alleged wrongdoing by the Clinton Foundation and the controversial sale of a uranium company to Russia — and has directed senior federal prosecutors to explore at least some of the matters and report back to him and his top deputy, according to a letter obtained by The Washington Post. The revelation came in a response by the Justice Department to an inquiry from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), who in July and again in September called for Sessions to appoint a second special counsel to investigate concerns he had related to the 2016 election and its aftermath.'

Investigate Mueller and company, AKA, ‘the swamp’

When is corruption merely a “Republican concern”? Shouldn’t it be everyone’s concern?

===============================================

Just name Mueller in investigate the "swamp?" Any investigation into Mueller will name Comey, and Lynch, and Huma, and Brazile, and Holder, and eventually, Hussein Obama himself, the traitor that President Trump has his eyes on as the ultimate prize.

The RATS do NOT care about exposing corruption. Almost 50% of Americans are far too stupid to care about exposing corruption. They just want the RAT party to give out free healthcare, open borders, freedom of religion even if it means Muslim terrorists in every city in America killing innocent people. But especially the morons who vote for DEMONRATS want President Trump impeached and imprisoned for Russian collusion. Hillary had to win, they were told Hillary would win in a landslide.

The RATS and the RAT voters really are stupid enough to support corrupt traitors who were going to destroy the US. But they can only win if we do nothing.

Sessions does not want to get his hands dirty.
Thinks he is above all the DC mess.

He’s waiting for Hillary to let him know who to appoint before he announces his selection for a second Special Counsel.

He puts this out just before his Congressional hearing. He’ll study the issue while the country is subverted. He needs to be motivated to spend more time with his family.

"Attorney General Jeff Sessions is entertaining the idea "

Well, when he's through wining & dining the idea, let's just hope it finally becomes a reality.

The outcome will be an investigation of Judge Moore.

Something the GOPee can really get behind.


At this point, it wouldn’t surprise me.

How nice of him! The key word is “considering.” Wishy washy weasel.

“Sessions’ mission is to cover for the swamp. It’s why we have Rosenstein as defacto AG and Mueller running a special counsel coup against Trump.”

If Sessions is starting to look at a special prosecutor it can only mean two things. They found nothing on Trump and Muellers team destroyed most of the Clinton evidence. Then they can declare everything is ok and go back to zero.

This the job of the DOJ, not a special counsel - just do it. This investigation should have begun the day after you became AG.

I believe I heard Frank Gaffney on the radio this morning saying Sessions will testify today in Congress and announce the DOJ has not found enough on the Clintons to warrant any further investigation. If true, the deep state has become flagrantly brazen.

I’m changing my opinion on the Hillary investigation. If the GOPe get Moore’s scalp they might just give us a Hillary “investigation”. They’ll need some real red meat for the base and a beltway theater “investigation” that never goes anywhere is just the ticket.

Rosenstein should launch an investigation into Uranium 1, then recuse himself.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions is entertaining the idea....
What is there to consider or entertain???????

Anyone above room temperature listening to Comey lay out the crimes in his 7 July 2016 presser KNOWS HITLERY HAS COMMITTED MULTIPLE FELONIES.


Now Sessions just has to come to grips with a potential Arkancide.
