Is Sessions out of bed yet??
“Is Sessions out of bed yet??”
He has had a criminal prosecutor (Huber) assigned since last year, apparently August or earlier.
He has been very quiet about it, despite all the taunting and insults he received. Very professional.
Things have ripened, and the election is nearing, so the time to go public is nearing. Part of that will likely be the filing of criminal charges, and another part could be closing down the special counsel.
The IG Report was formally entered final review yesterday. This means publication around Memorial Day, and public Congressional testimony days later - likely starting a Summer of Congressional media theater, like the Watergate Hearings.
It also means that Principals (AG, DAG, FBI Director and Deputy), as well as those still employed, with adverse findings (Strzok, maybe Rosenstein) will have a few days to read and contest facts. So leaks are no doubt underway, and the Dems are scrambling to craft their talking points, and get ahead of the story.
That is what this NY Times piece is - their first line of defense against the damning truth that is about to come out.
