U.S. Attorney for Utah John Huber won't testify Thursday before the House Oversight subcommittee as its chairman had announced previously.
Huber had been assigned by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to investigate several controversies Republicans have raised about Hillary Clinton and the Clinton Foundation, many of them stoked by right-wing activists who believe she should be prosecuted.
Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., chairman of the Oversight’s subcommittee on government operations, had hoped Huber would provide an update on his probe.
“Mr. Huber with the Department of Justice and FBI has been having an investigation — at least part of his task was to look at the Clinton Foundation and what may or may not have happened as it relates to improper activity with that charitable foundation, so we’ve set a hearing date for December the 5th,” he told Hill.TV previously.
That hearing was postponed until Thursday because of President George H.W. Bush's funeral service.
Meadows had wanted to quiz Huber on whether any of the Clinton Foundation’s tax-exempt money was used for personal gain as well as a litany of other conservative allegations against Clinton such as her State Department’s approval of a uranium deal with Russia.
The Oversight Committee, as all other House panels, transfers to Democratic control next month because of the results of the midterm elections.
Huber's spokeswoman, Melodie Rydalch, confirmed that Huber wouldn't testify.
“Consistent with conversations between the department and the committee, Mr. Huber will not appear at the hearing,” she said.
The hearing will instead feature Tom Fitton, the head of the right-leaning Judicial Watch, a law professor and two tax professionals.

What's up with this?
What’s the over under on him living another week?
Trump has said numerous times that he has "stayed uninvolved" with DOJ matters.
You may have missed that news.
And you ought to do something about that "uh" hesitation, sonny.
Uh, BF seems to be all about Sheep and Wolves...
Is there something deeper going on there?
#MeT00?
shirking your responsibility and then complains about it is not presidential.
He can stay uninvolved and the criminals will run free. Great stuff MAGA
After the mueller report he will be debated and not able to touch a democrat.
he will be DEBALLED
“Trump still won’t take charge of his own DOJ. “
Also look at the mediocre pick we just had for Supreme along with many other cabinet picks. Perhaps he knows that Deep State has won and its just a matter of how much change will come.
“Criticized by people who hold an anonymous internet presence as a guiding star? You have to be kidding.”

I knew it because I spent a decade working in DC and saw it first hand. Caligula was a piker compared to what we got going down in Washington.
If you are speaking of working with the current system, yes, you are correct.
After the last two years, with the ‘r’ in charge of everything — no wall, no swamp draining, no deficit reduction, and a tax plan that basically got me and millions of others not really anything at all... And that does not even take into account the ‘r’ having the white house & congress from 2001 - 2007 and a national security mandate after 9/11. (That was when the Red Pill really kicked in for me.)
It may be time for even reasonable people to contemplate what the next system will look like and how it will be brought into being.
Exactly.
Lot’s of incredibly stupid statements on this thread.

Exactly right. A real prosecutor does his talking through indictments and criminal prosecutions. Otherwise, he should have nothing to say in public.
Dear God, we are one nation under God indivisible with justice for all. This nation shall not perish from the face of this earth. Hear our prayer. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
“Exactly right. A real prosecutor does his talking through indictments and criminal prosecutions.”
Which is the exact opposite of what huber has been doing. That’s why he called off his little chat with congress(kabuki theater)...Publicly declaring that he found nothing on the Clintons would only serve to ENRAGE the people even more. Especially while mueller is indicting and imprisoning everyone associated with Trump...
Criminal prosecutions are public.
We've had none.
Amen!
Patience, Grasshopper. There will only be once shot at this, so it has to be right. Time will tell...
