Sessions open to idea of Clinton Foundation special counsel

2017-11-14

[AP] WASHINGTON ‐ Attorney General Jeff Sessions is leaving open the possibility that a special counsel could be appointed to look into Clinton Foundation dealings and an Obama-era uranium deal, the Justice Department said Monday in responding to concerns from Republican lawmakers.

In a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, which is holding an oversight hearing Tuesday, the Justice Department said Sessions had directed senior federal prosecutors to "evaluate certain issues" raised by Republican lawmakers. President Donald Trump has also repeatedly called for investigations of Democrats.

The prosecutors will report to Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and recommend whether any new investigations should be opened, whether any matters currently under investigation require additional resources and whether it might be necessary to appoint a special counsel to oversee a probe, according to a letter sent to Rep. Robert Goodlatte of Virginia, the Judiciary Committee’s Republican chairman.

The letter from Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd did not say what specific steps might be taken by the Justice Department to address the lawmakers’ concerns, or whether any of the matters Republicans have seized on might already be under investigation by federal authorities.

#3 It is beyond obvious at this point that the Deep State is blackmailing Sessions into inactivity.

It's either that, and / or the DOJ employees are throwing the monkey wrenches in by sitting on their hands and doing nothing. Either way, it would be nice to leave, nuke it from orbit and start over from scratch.

#2 We know for a fact that their spying gives them tremendous power to selectively leak about their enemies

You must be referring the the 'spying' that POTUS correctly referred to at Trump Towers.

#1 It is beyond obvious at this point that the Deep State is blackmailing Sessions into inactivity. He should be on top of this stuff, and yet he does little or nothing. We know for a fact that their spying gives them tremendous power to selectively leak about their enemies, and Sessions needs to be replaced with someone that can do the job.
