Sorry, I don’t take former Obama appointee Huber seriously.

I am sure that McCabe, Comey Hillary, et. al., take him as seriously as a heart attack. Calling him an Obama appointee doesn't diminish his duties. He is a career employee. In case you didn't know, the President at the time nominates many career employees for advancement. It has nothing to do with their political leanings. These are Schedule C jobs that require Senate approval.

Huber, who has served in both Democratic and Republican administrations as a career prosecutor, nearly had his tenure as US attorney cut short last year. In March 2017, shortly after he took charge of the Justice Department, Sessions asked for the resignations of 46 US attorneys who were previous administration holdovers.

Originally appointed by President Barack Obama in 2015, Huber offered his resignation, leaving his fate in the hands of the DOJ.

But President Donald Trump re-nominated Huber in June 2017, and two months later Huber was back at his former post, confirmed by the US Senate for an additional four years.

Huber graduated with honors from the University of Utah in 1989. He received his J.D. from the University of Utah College of Law in 1995. Huber began his career in the Weber County, Utah Attorney's Office, later serving as the chief prosecutor for West Valley City, Utah. In 2002, he joined the U.S. Attorney's Office, and in 2005 he became an Assistant United States Attorney. He has prosecuted firearms crimes, including the case of four people involved with firearms used in the 2007 Trolley Square shooting.

Huber was appointed by U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate the FBI's surveillance of Carter Page and connections between the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One, starting in November 2017

Why should they? You don’t have a shred of evidence the “Trump” DOJ has any intention of prosecuting anybody. Wishful thinking only goes so far.
