Huber is not conducting investigations directly. His limited role is to “make recommendations”:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/03/29/sessions-federal-prosecutor-evaluating-alleged-fbi-doj-wrongdoing-no-second-special-counsel-for-now.html

...“These senior prosecutors will report directly to the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General [Rod Rosenstein], as appropriate, and will make recommendations as to whether any matters not currently under investigation should be opened, whether any matters currently under investigation require further resources, or whether any matters merit the appointment of a Special Counsel.”

Sessions revealed Thursday in the letter to top Republican lawmakers in both chambers of Congress that Huber was the senior federal prosecutor leading that effort...

I support AG Sessions as being methodical, careful, and dedicated to the law. But these new allegations, which seem substantiated even in mainstream media, require immediate action. These shenanigans have affected world events, and made a mockery of US calls for free and fair elections for all other countries.

Can you imagine if Russia had actually done what the CIA, FBI, Democratic Party, and the Obama Administration did to influence the election?

Sanders supporters should be outraged, too. Those debate questions getting to hillary during primary season? It was just the tip of the iceberg in a rigged election.

If this had been a political thriller movie or novel instead of the last election, who would've believed it?

Yep it’s possible the need for a security task force to retrieve evidence at the DOJ.

Strong move by Trump. Hopefully Rosenstein will resign over it, and we may get lucky and Sessions resigns too.

Session’s should be revised from this one. So Rosenstein should be out of the picture, but you’re right Session needs to wake up first.

How much do you want to bet Sessions finds a way to say he isn’t allowed to touch this one because he was involved in the campaign. Yet he’ll allow Rosenstein to investigate it even though Rosenstein was directly involved in the spying.

ZZzzactly! If Trump demands that Sessions appoint a Special Council... then 'Day-yummm' it is going to hit the fan.

Of course, if the demand goes to Sessions, who promptly turns it over to no-light-of-day Rosenstein, then the ballgame turns to Trump having to - yet again - explode over it.

Bottom line, it is painfully obvious that the DOJ cannot investigate itself.

So he let’s the guys spying on him do the investigation? That makes no sense.

Congress needs to be directly involved. The DOJ cannot be responsible for investigating the DOJ and the FBI. A Congressional investigation has to be at least a major part of this.

The problem there is that only a handful of THOSE scumbags aren’t utterly corrupt. The RATS will block anything that helps the President. The deep-state, anti-Trump Republicans will join them. There simply aren’t enough good, honest people there to make a difference.

At the very least both Magoo and Rosenstein are conflicted, so they have to recuse. I honestly have no idea who will run the investigation beyond DJT digging down the DOJ chain of command until some non-Swamp creature is found (which might be a terrific idea). I'm sure DJT has planned this out and we'll know more as the new week unfolds.

This remains....the best election ever!
