Justice Dept. Winds Down Clinton-Related Inquiry Once Championed By Trump. It Found Nothing Of Consequence
MSN ^ | Devlin Barrett, Matt Zapotosky

Posted on 01/10/2020 5:54:33 AM PST by Enlightened1

A Justice Department inquiry launched more than two years ago to mollify conservatives clamoring for more investigations of Hillary Clinton has effectively ended with no tangible results, and current and former law enforcement officials said they never expected the effort to produce much of anything.

ohn Huber, the U.S. attorney in Utah, was tapped in November 2017 by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to look into concerns raised by President Trump and his allies in Congress that the FBI had not fully pursued cases of possible corruption at the Clinton Foundation and during Clinton’s time as secretary of state, when the U.S. government decided not to block the sale of a company called Uranium One.

As a part of his review, Huber examined documents and conferred with federal law enforcement officials in Little Rock who were handling a meandering probe into the Clinton Foundation, people familiar with the matter said. Current and former officials said that Huber has largely finished and found nothing worth pursuing — though the assignment has not formally ended and no official notice has been sent to the Justice Department or to lawmakers, these people said.

The effective conclusion of his investigation, with no criminal charges or other known impacts, is likely to roil some in the GOP who had hoped the prosecutor would vindicate their long-held suspicions about a political rival. Trump, though, has largely shifted his focus to a different federal prosecutor tapped to do a separate, special investigation: U.S. attorney in Connecticut John Durham, who Attorney General William P. Barr assigned last year to explore the origins of the FBI’s 2016 probe into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia.

3 years in, the government never found anything of consequence in the Russia Russia Russia investigation but you won’t hear that from MSNWashPooNyetTimes.

It is my understanding that unless acted upon “sealed indictments” go stale after 9 months. We’re going on 4 years. Even my common core math say thats a fail.

Money line. And what didn’t expire was immunized.

“Epstein killed himself and now this...
Still trust Barr?”

Lets not forget the railroading of Flynn AFTER his attorney provided DOJ with proof of corruption by its attorneys.

I kinda like the John Huber keyword, lots of overlap with the Sharyl Attkisson keyword.

The ethical foundation of this country was totally destroyed by the 8 years of Obama and his gang.

a “speshul prosecutor” has only 2 role-

Sweep up the mess up completely under the carpet such that “nobody” loses their seats

Save tidbits to be pulled out in the future and used to
shepherd the recalcitrant politician in the “correct direction” in case they’ve forgotten their sins.

Huber said today, "Loretta Lynch and under Trumps administration they're about 85% exactly the same... They're saying the same thing"

Huber has not said a word about the Clinton Foundation. Even when this leaked report. I don't understand he doesn't say a word not even anything about the leaker

Well, yeah, no surprise there. They “investigated” themselves, how very Soviet of them.

How do you know they are “lawyered up”? Do you have proof other than some here-say article? I am not picking on you.. I am saying that without a means to prove, we are truly nothing more than conspiracy theorists. We need something that takes us from that realm to speaking verifiable truth.
