From the message section of the conservative tree house
In Sessions’ statement, there was no disclaimer stating outright that Huber was not acting as a prosecutor: a statement of to whom a prosecutor reports in the performance of his duty, nor the nature of that prosecutor’s reports, does not stop his prosecutorial authority, nor does it state any limits upon his prosecutorial authority.
But even if you interpret what was stated as an outright statement, Huber does have a team of prosecutors that could prosecute under his authority.

If you want to politicize the process – as Rod Rosenstein did – then you appoint a Special Counsel and let him spend months and years abusing people’s rights in the pursuit of an array of irrelevant process crimes and indictments of foreign nationals who will never be brought to trial. But if you want to bring people to justice for real crimes against this country, AG Sessions obviously believes the best way to do it is within the confines and processes of the justice system as it was set up in the U.S. constitution.
Some are speculating that what Sessions really has Huber and Horowitz doing is laying the groundwork for the appointment of a second special counsel after the Horowitz report has been released. I don’t agree with that, for the reasons laid out above. Working together, Huber and Horowitz have every power possessed by a special counsel: Given that, why would the AG reinvent the wheel just at the cusp of issuing indictments and perp-walking the wrongdoers? Makes no sense to me.
What does make logical sense is that Sessions believes his Justice Department is capable of actually doing its mandated job. It’s sort of amazing that people who call themselves conservatives object to that approach.
Just another day in Jeff Sessions don’t need no stinking second special counsel America.
That is all.
