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.”

Good luck with that. It can’t all be done at once. Right now NOTHING is being done. Should that rat bastard succeed in covering for the corrupt state, America and the rule of law is finished.
Imo, Trump is going to drop the hammer on Sessions and rosenstein real soon. Probably after congress finds them in contempt.
Sessions can easily Tweet that he has indicted RosenWeasel at any time of day.
“Everything has to be solid, water-tight and bullet-proof !”
Bullsh!t
There you go, arguing for logic and stuff. Don’t you know that words can have only one extremely limited meaning? All Power to the Facile!
Your humble opinion is wrong. You'll see.
Thinking that way is the easy way out, but there is so much more going on beyond what the MSM is reporting. Just be patient, watch, and enjoy the show!
Occam’s Razor my friend. When presented with competing hypothetical answers to a problem, one should select the one that makes the fewest assumptions.
You are telling us that Trump is lying about his distrust of Sessions and the DOJ. That blatant law breaking is being ignored because there is a bigger picture. That none of the lawbreakers are even being considered by a grand jury because it will happen in the future while several indictments were handed down by Muller in a few short months. That the DOJ can investigate itself with a corrupt official in charge of the investigation (Obama appointed) and the boss recused, etc...
Or maybe there is a simpler solution.
He’s not wrong. Sessions is a compromised rat bastard doing the bidding of the corrupt state. Why else is rosenstein and mueller still at the DOJ?
This is not hard.
You're right: it's not hard. The waiting is the hardest part.
+1
We’ve already seen. Past tense.
The question is how much more damage will goober magoo do to this Presidency, America, & the rule of law before his ass is fired?
OK, lemme take this step at a time:
You are telling us that Trump is lying about his distrust of Sessions and the DOJ - Yes !!
That blatant law breaking is being ignored because there is a bigger picture. - No, not ignored.
That none of the lawbreakers are even being considered by a grand jury - Wrong...grand jury(ies) already empanelled (one could be in NY) !!!
because it will happen in the future while several indictments were handed down by Muller in a few short months - It’s comin down as sure as night !
That the DOJ can investigate itself with a corrupt official in charge of the investigation (Obama appointed) and the boss recused, etc. - So many things wrong here - a) you need to read the Jonathan Turley article upthread, b) RR one of the white hats when dust settles, c) Boss (Sessions) not recused from DOJ/FBI investigation.
You’re assuming that “RosenWeasel” is being targeted, if he’s part of the problem or part of the solution. We don’t know for sure. I’m content to wait it out and see what develops.

Someone else appointed to clear Hillary. I’m so tired of the manufactured drama.
The only thing they buy by avoiding a Special Counsel is to ensure Rosenstein and usual suspects have complete control throughout.
They came out blazing over a rumor for Trump, the reason they’ve turned on the slow boat here is, there is no appetite to go after Hillary, nor any of her peeps.
.
Rosenstein put the mueller coup into action. Signed the fisa warrant extension for carter page. Has ties to uranium1
You have to smoke a lot of banana peels to think rosenstein is working for our side. He’s an enemy combatant. A high treason co-conspirator.
Huber is also Mormon
we canNOT get a break
That blatant law breaking is being ignored because there is a bigger picture. - No, not ignored. (The basis for this? Comey leaked confidential info and is going on a merry book tour. McCabe lied under oath and to the inspector general about leaks he made to the press. Rice illegally unmasked American citizens by the boatload. The FISA judge was attending parties to hide his participation in the coup. It is insane what happened with not one arrest so far. At least Muller can get indictments.).
NY Grand Jury (Huh? Proof? Huber is in Utah).
It’s coming down as sure as night! (I have to take your word for it because no in Congress on our side believes it.)
RR a good guy. (He is doing a great job on the Trump witch hunt. Wink, wink.)
You have given me assumptions with absolutely no proof. To say RR is a good guy, defies logic.
.
The silly reverse logic where everyone is really only concerned with misleading you is always wrong.
It’s just a way to continue to support the people you’ve been supporting in the face of an avalanche of data that says you’ve been wrong all along.
Ignoring logic and making things hyper complicated to justify the actions of a bad actor, is really just - ignoring logic.
.
We see that u have shifted to the “water tight” excuse.
Nothing is holding back Huber to begin the process of
issuing indictments now, even though the IG is expanding
his investigation into other areas.
Too late for waiting.
IG Horowitz’ 500 Very Special Agents Report was supposed to be released in Jan 2018.
Have any facts changed?
Have any broken laws changed?
Is the DoJ Deep State still trying to rout Trump from office?
The only excuse for delay is to let the perps off the hook.
Likely IG Horowitz’ main objective.
Reading past the first sentence is tough for you. Here's the full post, where I clearly show Sessions' letter, which defines what Sessions means by a "review".
1.) Open new investigations
2.) Add resources to current investigations
3.) Refer any matters to a Special Counsel.
Add to that, Huber answers to the AG, and his boss DAG Rosenstein, who is one of the people who will be the subject of the investigation.
Those are the facts.
The superficiality is all yours. But I'm repeating myself.
