Attorney General Jeff Sessions names prosecutor to investigate FBI allegations.
CNBC ^ | March 29, 2018 | Christine Wang

Posted on 03/29/2018 3:43:35 PM PDT by carson_conservative

Attorney General Jeff Sessions designated U.S. attorney John Huber as the prosecutor tasked with looking into allegations of abuse of power at the FBI.

In a Thursday letter to Congress, Sessions said this appointment was made in response to requests for a special counsel investigation of the claims. The attorney general said, however, that Huber will be the one determining "whether any matters merit the appointment of a special counsel....In his letter, Sessions said he will take the necessary actions to defend the integrity of the Justice Department and its work.

"We understand that the Department is not above criticism and it can never be that the Department conceals errors when they occur," Sessions wrote.

The attorney general said he expects the department's staff to operate with the "highest level of integrity, ethic, and professionalism."

"If anyone falls short of these standards, I will fulfill my responsibility to take necessary action to protect the integrity of our work," he said.

You people sit here and bitch day in and day out about the special prosecutor and now when Sessions says he’s going to keep this in-house for now, you bitch about that.

Maybe you see a trend here?

If he doesn’t truly know the degree of an attempted coup against the president, then he is a complete idiot. The evidence of FBI Stalinist secret police activity is very low hanging fruit.

Sessions’ language is of one who is attempting to wiggle out of holding anyone accountable. He is merely trying to run out the clock for the deep state and bury evidence.

WTH??

This is NOT the correct answer to THREE subpoenas, Jeff! These were not just “ concerns” and “allegations”.

It was a DEMAND SUBPOENA.

Obstruction of Justice needs to come next and the Hill can IMPEACH the whole lot of them at Justice and FBI.

Sick.of.obstruction.

The problem with all this stuff that we’ve been witnessing and congress and sessions reluctant to do anything... It was either Nunes or the other one who has been looking into all this.... said ... those in congress do not want to believe, nor do they believe the FBI or those high up in this mess, would do all they have done .. they can’t believe it is happening and refuse to accept it is. They are going to have a hard time believing barack is in on this also. Sessions is/was part of those in congress and he is still running all this on “IF” and “looking into”.. instead of accepting the whole lot of them are corrupt and deep into trouble... and he and congress won’t go after them until it’s rubbed into their faces!! and maybe it isn’t yet rubbed deep enough!

The first time I ever saw barack as President... I saw him as the worst of the worst... how hard is it to accept the evidence that has been presented to them!

I agree. Sessions needs to be prosecuted, too. The country and rule of law are hanging by a thread here people

I concur. This will only enrage the powers that put Trump in.
