'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.'

So what do you think he will say about Hillary,this is just bs

He will say that there was no criminal intent. He will say that no reasonable prosecutor would indict. You are correct. It is bs.

Considering only because of political pressure. A ripped garbage bag is more useful than he is.

“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. “

And true to form, Sessions stated just that before Congress this morning - he didn’t find a factual basis for special counsel. But he also refused to answer very specific questions that would come up in such an investigation, citing judicial privilege.

Asshat.

Hillary skates with her millions while this half-wit Rube gets a chubby thinking about his coming crackdown on pot smokers.

This man has been a disaster. I pray that the damage he has done to our movement/country is not as great as I fear.

“considering” and doing are two different things.
