Concurring bump...it sure looks that way, doesn't it?
I remember back in November 2017, when Sara Carter came on Sean Hannity's show and said that she had anonymous sources from the FBI telling her that Sessions had put prosecutors on the case. And then in January, we got the release of the Sessions memo, quoting the Boyd memo, mentioning Huber.
Both of those things happened right when there was tremendous pressure to appoint an independent prosecutor.
Both seemed fishy.
