It doesn’t have to be a GJ in DC. One is going on in AR now. Get an “outside entity” Federal judge in a different state that has even a small a tangential connection with the subject.
Jurisdiction issues. The DOJ can’t assign any US Attorney to any case it wants. Otherwise Obama certainly would have stymied several investigations during his reign.
The jurisdiction where the crime occurred gets that particular AG. There are extrordinary cases where jurisdiction is changed, but it doesn’t happen in secret, and involves a declaration of conflict, etc. It would be public, and take awhile, for each seperate case. You would be declaring, and have to prove, that the entire district, the entire office, could not prosecute the case. No deputy or associate US Attorneys, nobody in that office under the district US Attorney.
The fight would be public, with dems in congress going bonkers. It could not be done in secret. No chance it wouldn’t leak. No chance the proper district US Attorney’s office would not fight tooth and nail, and they would absolutely make sure it was front page news.
Good luck with that.
Seriously, Huber is NOT prosecuting anyone who’s crimes were committed in DC area. It’s complete Q and Sundance bullshit. Sessions isn’t doing anything on that front.
It won’t happen.
