John Huber, who will investigate the FBI, is a special counsel in every way but name
Washington Times ^ | 4/1/2018 | Jeff Mordock

Attorney General Jeff Sessions may have declined calls to appoint a second special counsel to investigate the FBI’s behavior during the 2016 campaign, but the man he has picked to lead an internal Justice Department review is a special counsel in every way but name.

John W. Huber, the U.S. attorney in Utah, can convene a grand jury, issue subpoenas, collect evidence and order witnesses to testify — all the usual powers a federal prosecutor has — as he delves into whether the FBI abused its powers when it sought permission and then carried out wiretapping of a Trump campaign figure, or whether it trod too lightly in pursuing questions about Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Mr. Sessions said the facts of the FBI situation don’t yet rise to the level of demanding a special counsel, but Mr. Huber is as close as can be.

“He will have the full authority of a federal prosecutor,” said Richard Painter, former chief ethics attorney for President George W. Bush. “If he looks at this and finds someone in the DOJ lied to a government official, he would be able to convene a grand jury, compel testimony and even prosecute them.”

“There will be no indictments....” because of Pubbies.

No legislative Senator or Congress critter can pull any string on what action the judicial is rendering. It simply doesn’t work that way. They don’t get a vote; they don’t get told. Period.

AG Sessions will continue to oversee John Huber’s efforts and indictments will not be stopped by any Republican in Congress.

Of course. The same DOJ now “overseeing” Mueller’s treasonous assaults on POTUS will no doubt fully support Trump on Fisagate. Dream on, FRiend.

Think you’re mistaken about the necessity of the DOJ needed to “fully support” POTUS or the AG and his designee John Huber. People have been flipped, testimony taken and action follows.

Watch and see as the curtain on The Show will begin shortly. What an April it’ll be.

Sorry, I guess you didn’t get the memo. The IG report has been delayed to May. Huber will spend another six months reading it and then do nothing. The fix is in.

Ah, the sealed indictment excuse.

POTUS has zero Establishment support inside the beltway. Why would anybody “flip” and join him bare behind to the wind? No chance.

What are the sealed indictment number up to these days.
10,000? 15,000?

The IG Report will be published in parts. Either way, April will be telling.

People “flip” out of their own self-interest. They don’t consult the “Establishment” they consult their lawyer(s) who tell them the stark facts.

Strzok, Page, Priestap, the Orhs, etc - put them on the tentative flipped list.

No idea on sealed indictments. The ones that count most right now are any handled by John Huber and his team.

IF Horowitz and Huber are honest ...and that’s a BIG IF. “

Exactly right; oh, err, umm, wait a minute ; if King Obama is a god doesn’t that mean that his administration was holy ??

(apologies to all the true red blooded Americans who are not treasonous)

I don’t worry too much about the “behind every silver lining is a dark cloud” crowd. As long as Trump keeps on his trajectory, time is on his side. The naysayers will be eating crow soon enough. I’m just perplexed how so many “conservatives” can go through each day mad at and defeated by everything.
