Following the revelation that Special Counsel Robert Mueller unearthed no evidence that President Trump or his campaign colluded with Russia to sway the 2016 election, Trump allies are now awaiting the results of two long-running internal probes that could expose the backstory behind the Russia probe's beginnings -- and provide more detail on already-documented misconduct among top FBI and DOJ officials.
DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz confirmed at a panel discussion last week that his office is continuing to review potential surveillance abuses by the FBI, a review that began last March and that Fox News is told is nearing completion. Horowitz has previously found that senior FBI officials routinely leaked information without authorization to the media, and also received "improper gifts" from reporters, including meals and sporting event tickets. Most notably, Horowitz found that FBI officials' anti-Trump communications raised doubts as to the integrity of their work.
Republicans are increasingly looking for answers from U.S. Attorney for Utah John Huber, who was appointed a year ago by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to review not only surveillance abuses by the FBI and DOJ, but also authorities' handling of the probe into the Clinton Foundation.
Huber, Republicans have cautioned, has apparently made little progress, and spoken to few key witnesses and whistleblowers. But in January, then-Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker reportedly indicated at a private meeting that Huber's work was continuing apace.

Something coming? The beast is on the move?
Now how would the media shape their stories...since it would be all about Hillary and her minions....like Comey.
Huber's investigation, meanwhile, has been dogged by allegations that he has not interviewed witnesses who could shed light on those topics. In a letter to Mr. Huber, Ohio GOP Rep. Jim Jordan and Georgia GOP Rep. Doug Collins said they interviewed dozens of witnesses while his probe was simultaneously running.
“During the course of our extensive investigation we have interviewed more than a dozen current and former DOJ and FBI personnel, and were surprised to hear none of these potentially informative witnesses testified to speaking with you,” Jordan, the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, and Collins, the ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wrote to Huber.
In a deep dive published late last year, RealClearInvestigations reported that Huber's appointment was internally seen as little more than a political effort to placate Republicans.
“At the time, people wanted a special counsel, but Jeff Sessions announced he brought in Huber and people said, ‘OK, we got Huber on it,’" former Justice Department prosecutor Victoria Toensing told the outlet. “But it was a head fake.”
Toensing added: “It’s a farce. It's an embarrassment how this has been handled.” (Weeks later, Whitaker reportedly told former Attorney General Ed Meese over breakfast, in a meeting first reported by the Associcated Press, that Huber's work was ongoing.)
Maybe Mueller jumped off the ship before it start sinking.
There are lots of deep throats in government, knowing what is next.
I want to see 0bama, Clinton, Clapper, Comey, Brennen, and others dragged before Congress and put under oath and questioned about their role in the biggest political hoax in our history.
The questions I have are why didn't any Obama administration security agency know this was happening?
OR DID they know and let it happen so, if Hillary lost, they could blame Russia and Trump?
And that one referral about McCabe was actually a McCabe leak that hurt Hillary and Obama. It wasn't a anti Trump leak.
There’s no question Huber is a Fraud.
I suspect that Rosenstein and Sessions were the frauds. Huber never claimed he was doing anything.
23 July 2018: Investors Business Daily: Editorial: Did Obama, Brennan And Clinton Illegally Collude To Take Trump Down?
Not only did President Obama know about the investigation, he seems to have pushed it from the very beginning.
But don’t take our word for it. Here’s what Obama’s Director of National Intelligence, the nation’s former spy master, James Clapper, told CNN’s Anderson Cooper:
“If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of event which are still unfolding today, including Special Counsel (Robert) Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place.”
Why didn’t this get more attention in the media? Obama and Brennan not only knew the dubious nature of the allegations against Trump, but pushed them anyway...
What’s stunning is the casual way Clapper let us know that President Obama “was responsible” for the whole shebang.
If that’s so, there are really only two possibilities...
But instead of investigating Trump, shouldn’t we investigate those who subverted our democracy for rank partisan purposes to influence a presidential election? That’s Obama, Brennan and Clinton...

Sure wouldn’t want him to “hurry!”
-
Horowitz is akin to HR.
Why did Rosenweasel want Horowitz to investigate everything related to the Failed Coup?
IG Horowitz is Toothless and does what he’s told.
Huber is a Fraud. Listen to Jim Jordan and Mark Meadows.
