Words have meanings, Mr Huber is not conducting an investigation, he is doing a review of the OIG investigation to determine if a Special Prosecutor will be needed. Big difference.
“Words have meanings, Mr Huber is not conducting an investigation, he is doing a review of the OIG investigation to determine if a Special Prosecutor will be needed. Big difference.”
Not entirely accurate.
OIG is doing the investigating, Huber is the prosecutor. He is not JUST doing a “review” of OIG, he is working WITH OIG. As OIG has no prosecutorial authority.
The wording about a “Special Prosecutor” is just a smokescreen. Sessions already stated that these cases can usually be handled by the DOJ, in house.
BUT, IF a Special Prosecutor is warranted, I have a suggestion as to whom it should be .... John W. Huber.
(and YES, I read the whole Sessions letter.)
>>Mr Huber is not conducting an investigation, he is doing a review of the OIG investigation to determine if a Special Prosecutor will be needed.<<
Actually, quite the opposite. Sessions is currently arguing that a special counsel is not needed and that Mr. Huber is conducting the investigation instead.
