Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said Monday that he will probe alleged abuses of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) at the start of the Russia investigation, while calling on Attorney General Bill Barr to appoint a new special counsel to investigate the “other side of the story.”

The first part had some recommendations that might include prosecution.

The second part was a white wash.

Lets hope that the 3rd part is a charm.

I’ve got to go back and review but isn’t this OIG a big bust - plus they can’t issue indictments. We need the folks with the long knives going after Obama’s and Hillary’s cabal of crooks.

Graham is calling for a ‘Special Counsel’. but so far, the White House has only called for “Congressional Hearings”. The Democrats laugh at weakness.

Personally, I come down on the side for the need for a special counsel.

At the rank-and-file level, the DOJ is stuffed to the gills with weird agenda radicals hired under Obama. I just don’t see how an investigation that relies on the regular lawyers in the US Attorneys’ offices won’t be completely compromised and sabotaged from the start, with daily leaks to the press and to the targets.

On the other hand, picking a Special Counsel who is an establishment hack like Jamie Gorelick or Al Gonzalez or just about every other name that comes to mind would be worse than just having the US Attorneys’ offices do it.

And remember, once threads start getting pulled on in the investigation we will quickly find ourselves bumping up against the intel establishments from the UK, Oz, Italy, Israel, etc. as well as powerful oligarchs who all have their protectors among the US political class. Very dicey territory.

The only way I see the corrupt Deep State being brought to heel and wrongdoers held to account is a very strong, non-establishment special counsel with a carefully-selected FBI team.

Huber is a fraud and has done nothing.

Horowitz made one Referral and it was ignored. And Horowitz declared the Get Trump Op had no Political Bias because Strzok and Lisa Page told him they weren’t motivated by Politics.

They are the Facts.

“Assign numerous teams to investigate all manner of things we know took place.”

That would be a task force. DoJ uses task forces which include some number of prosecutors and their staffs, to go after big operations, like organized crime, drug cartels, or terrorist organizations.

When Sen Grassley asked AG Sessions to appoint a Special Prosecutor, Sessions said that the DoJ IG, and the normal prosecutors in DoJ (US Attorneys) actually have much more resources at their disposal. He said that he put US Attorney Huber in charge of reviewing the referred activities (FISA abuse, etc.) because he was experienced and successful in leading such task forces, and was experienced with highly classified Intelligence investigations.

That response was early last year, but Huber was tasked by the AG in late 2017.

Then Huber must have some things in the pipeline by now.

Thanks for your commented. Sounds reasoned.

Dems would be squealing like hyenas in leaks if the “Trump” DOJ was putting the screws to them. That there is nothing of the sort is all the clue we need that nothing has happened. No interviews, no indictments, etc. Nothing.

Can we trust but verify?

After Sessions, it’s hard to trust many Rs to fully have Trump’s back

Huber was not tasked with investigating anything.

He was tasked with reviewing the situation and advising Sessions if Huber thinks an investigation should be started.

We never heard whether or what Huber ever advised Sessions.

There is no reason to believe Sessions ever authorized Huber to actually commence an investigation because people like Toensing who represents relevant witnesses and Congress members who have participated in closed hearings have all said they are not aware of any witness who was ever interviewed by Huber or any grand jury of his.

It seems it was just a delaying tactic. Look, they were all waiting, Horowitz included, to see if Mueller would succeed in getting Trump removed. So now that Trump is not getting removed, we hear now maybe a report from Horowitz in June. So he’s done very little other than waiting to see how the Mueller thing ended, and is now gearing up to work.

Great—the coup plotters can pull out their copy of the “Lindsay Graham blackmail files” in case needed.

It is a good thing we have electronic media these days—otherwise they would need a whole building to store all the files...

:-(

During the Kavanaugh “hearings”, I decided to give Lindsey a break and not call him “Linda” at least until the end of the year....that deadline has passed and he still hasn’t done anything to make me change my mind...gonna root for him and massage his ego in hopes the McCain chains have truly fallen away....gotta be a Forrest Gump saying that fits him in his present condition....
