“Who’s doing the investigating on this behind the scenes per the Utah prosecutor.”
Yeah right. According to Sessions’ own description, Huber is merely evaluating allegations. There is nothing Sessions has said to even suggest a real investigation by Huber such as would involving assigned FBI agents to actually gather evidence or the empanelling of a grand jury.
If Sessions were not playing a delay game he would have started a real criminal investigation many months ago.
The IG doesn’t have the power to gather evidence that a prosecutor and a grand jury have.
Sessions has arranged it exactly backwards - if he were serious, a prosecutor would have started collecting evidence long ago, and the IG with its much more limited powers could piggyback on that for the limited purposes of the IG (such as recommending improved policies and procedures for the DOJ as a result of what is ultimately learned).
Claiming he is holding back a real criminal investigation in order to let the IG complete its work and piggyback off that is transparently a delaying tactic by Sessions.
well said!!
Yup. And you can show them the Sessions/Boyd letters written in plain English, and they still will see what they want to see.
