Sessions declines to appoint second special counsel
By Brandon Conradis and Jacqueline Thomsen - 03/29/18 05:03 PM EDT

Attorney General Jeff Sessions revealed in a letter to lawmakers Thursday that he had declined to name a second special counsel to investigate allegations of surveillance abuse within the Department of Justice (DOJ), despite pressure from the Republican Party for him to do so.

In his letter to GOP committee chairmen Chuck Grassley (Iowa), Bob Goodlatte (Va.) and Trey Gowdy (S.C.), Sessions said the appointment of a special counsel only occurs under "the most 'extraordinary circumstances.'"

"To justify such an appointment, the Attorney General would need to conclude that 'the public interest would be served by removing a large degree of responsibility for the matter from the Department of Justice,'" Sessions wrote.

I saw Jonathan Turley on Fox Business who said Sessions did not entirely preclude a special counsel in the future. He said the Utah Prosecutor John Huber has prosecutory power. Also, he can get up and running faster than a special counsel. Maybe it's the right move.

Maybe...if not, us producers need to go on strike.

Shut the f'cer down.

Huber has been working with IG Horowitz likely since LAST JULY AUGUST timeframe.

That is why some people have been demoted and not fired. See these articles from Conservative Treehouse about what is actually going on and WHY Trump isn't in the loop.

Why slow walking the delivery of documents to congress not that a lot of the bad actors have been pushed to the side?
Sessions just a moron or....... THE documents are part of an ONGOING CRIMINAL INVESTIGASTION. Horowitz's reports(s) and the indictments are forthcoming.

Stop getting misled by the MSM
