Moreover, Sessions was, in fact, using Justice Department lawyers with prosecutorial power in connections with potential FISA and related abuses. Since November, John Huber, the U.S. Attorney for Utah, has been on the case. Trump apparently didn’t know this, but he should have. Sometimes it’s better to talk to the Attorney General than mindlessly to blast him on Twitter.
Huber was appointed by President Obama, but his name was submitted by Senators Hatch and Lee of Utah. Thus, his selection by Sessions seems like a shrewd move. As Obama’s nominee it will be difficult for critics plausibly to paint him as anti-Democrat. But as the favorite of Hatch and Lee, Republicans should be confident that he’s not in the Democrats’ pocket. Moreover, because Huber works out of Utah, it’s unlikely that he’s connected in any way with D.C. insiders such as James Comey and Andrew McCabe.
What about the decision to use a U.S. attorney rather than appoint a special counsel? This decision also seems sound, and not just because I don’t like special counsels. The combination of the IG and the USA should be able to accomplish as much as a special counsel would — and accomplish it faster and with less fanfare.
The absence of fanfare is an advantage because it makes it more difficult for Democrats and their media partners to push the idea that anyone is being persecuted. A Justice Department investigation headed by two Obama appointees is harder to shoot at than a special counsel. And, of course, nothing prevents Sessions from appointing a special counsel if changed circumstances militate in favor of doing so.
In sum, Sessions has handled this matter well, Trump’s foolish tweets notwithstanding.
Which has what? to do with my comment
>>It ran out on Clapper.<<
Yep, a criminal who should be spending what’s left of his treasonous life behind bars.
“Do you lay awake at night thinking up more juvenile and dishonest ways for you to insult Sessions?”
It comes naturally. America is on her death bed and Jeff Magoo is shooting cyanide into her IV. He will go down in post American history as the biggest rat bastard traitor there ever was.
Huber works for Rosenstein. Rosenstein visits Huber in Utah. Huber visits Rosenstein in DC.
Enlighten us please.
That’s comforting. Why would Obama appoint someone like that? Appeasing Lee?
By definition it is a conflict of interest.
Not to speak of the appearance of a Conflict of
Interest.
Once again, by definition.
I think the IG is announcing a new investigation for his purposes, i.e., investigating procedural issues in the issuance of FISA warrants, but that Prosecutor Huber has probably already been going down that track in search of criminality. It’s not like there wasn’t plenty of evidence indicating corruption in the FISA process. Huber wouldn’t have any trouble justifying an investigation, even without an IG report.
I don’t know but by the accounts I’ve read Huber is a good guy.

Yeah, let’s just rush through this and slap together a bunch of indictments that will make *us* feel all warm and fuzzy inside and will be chewed up at the trial court level.
Should such slap dash crap actually survive multiple complex split trials, the appeals courts can toss the convictions based on the inevitably staggering number of procedural errors below.
Or, a team of experienced investigators and attorneys can quietly do their frickin *jobs* to perfection, making absolutely certain every single allegation, every single piece of evidence, every single potential witness is bulletproof.
Of course, no human witness is truly bulletproof, but if you do your job right, you have spent enough time with your witnesses to know *exactly* what they’re going to say, what they’ll screw up, and how they’ll look doing it.
Or, you can focus on making the Freepers happy.
People seem to be missing a first principle:
No decent person would accept a job from Obama.
If a person worked for Obama, if he accepted an appointment from Obama, that person is a scumbag, in saecula saeculorum.
What’s with all the negative vibes, man /s ;)
I kept quiet on Sessions for a long time, waiting to see if there really was a grand plan; I even played along with the Q posts saying “Trust Sessions.” Well, times up...Sessions is a hack.
He’s done everything possible to insure that the Mueller investigation continues unabated and that no one will ever be prosecuted for Uranium 1. Even more, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sessions has some tangential connections to the various facade corporations used to sell the uranium (as well as many other high powered Congressmen on both sides of the aisle).
This. Obama and team worked 24/7 to purge decent people from govt.
I'll bet you think this is CHOCOLATE I got for ya, huh...?
WELL, IT'S NOT.
Sessions is beyond insultation.
How is selecting and supporting RosenWeasel (a signer of the fraudulent FISA continuing app) to run the DoJ and the FIB not essentially treason?
You are such a tool. Graffiti artists from the hood have more intelligence than you.
Why wouldn’t AG Sessions quietly share that info with Congress to avoid them clouding his actions?
