My only speculation DGB is it is Sessions call, let me explain. He had to ferret out who was the white hats and black hats and what went down. On top off all the nattering nabobs saying fire him, he should resign bla, bla, bla, my life experiences has told me the quiet ones are the ones to watch, and man when he unloads Katie bar the door.
My wild-@zz guess is he will appoint 2 or more I.C's and that whatever case(s) they are working on the evidence is being assembled to be bullet-proof. G-d forbid it goes to a grand jury that looks like the studio audience of a Jerry Springer show, save that one for another day, and perhaps shots of tequila ;-).
Based on what I’ve read about Sessions, and a few cryptic comments he’s made over the past year, he hates the special counsel law, and one of his goals was to reestablish the integrity of the DOJ and FBI from within, using statute law.
I hope that is the case, and his slow, methodical approach, in conjunction with the IG and the House committee, is bearing fruit. Several times Sessions has mentioned the many leak investigations in progress.
It certainly seams like the “4th or 14th” Wikileaks email disclosure was part of an anti-leak investigation, like a radio-isotope injected into a vein. My guess is that Schiff bit on it, and spread it to several news outlets. He’s going to be nailed as a leaker as part of the overall corruption investigation.
