Despite numerous calls from Republican lawmakers, Attorney General Jeff Sessions declined to appoint a second special counsel in March and instead assigned federal prosecutor U.S. Attorney John Huber of the District of Utah to work with Justice Department Inspector General Micheal Horowitz to probe misconduct.
(Emphasis added.)
District of Utah? How will he get jurisdiction to indict, or even subpoena, anybody when all the apparent crimes were mostly committed in DC, NY, or the Northern District of VA and most of the potential defendants live in the same places?
You are describing “The Game Being Played”. Why would Sessions ever need a Special Counsel? He has 1.3 Trillion Sealed Indictments. He just can’t figure out how to open them! /s
Huber’s task, as explicitly stated by AAG Boyd and repeated by AG Sessions, is to “make recommendations”. There is no source for claims he will be THE prosecutor.
IANAL, but AFAIK a US Attorney can empanel a grand jury anywhere in the country.
