Attorney General Jeff Sessions directed senior federal prosecutors to evaluate “certain issues” requested by congressional Republicans, involving the sale of Uranium One and alleged unlawful dealings related to the Clinton Foundation, leaving the door open for an appointment of another special counsel.
In a letter first obtained by Fox News, the Justice Department responded to July 27 and September 26 requests from House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., and other committee members, who called for the appointment of a special counsel to investigate the matters in question.
The letter comes on the eve of Sessions’ testimony before the same committee, scheduled for Tuesday.
“The Attorney General has directed senior federal prosecutors to evaluate certain issues raised in your letters,” Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd wrote.
“These senior prosecutors will report directly to the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General [Rod Rosenstein], as appropriate, and will make recommendations as to whether any matters not currently under investigation should be opened, whether any matters currently under investigation require further resources, or whether any matters merit the appointment of a Special Counsel,” Boyd wrote.
The Justice Department does not ordinarily confirm or deny investigations, and Boyd wrote that “this letter should not be construed to do so.”
The Justice Department’s letter specifically said that some of the topics requested by Goodlatte and other committee members were already being investigated by the department’s Inspector General’s office.
I wish that I was optimistic.
I am not.
Talk, talk, talk. Review, review, review. Investigate, investigate, investigate.
Wake me when they get to the I-word: INDICT.
It’s a start. Now we need follow through.
One year overdue.
I smell another Sessions Deluxe All-Inclusive Recusal coming in 3…2…1…
Sessions is napping and dreaming of more speeches about MS-13.
What’s the next excuse from the recluse to recuse?
Rosenstein will ask Mueller to hire Comey, 100 inept FBI Agents and 15 other establishment democrat Attorneys who served under Obama and Clinton to investigate the Senator’s concerns.
Bottomless barrel.
I want Sessions fired. If he hires anyone to investigate, it’ll be a Hillary sick-y-fant. >:(
I only wish for the clintons the sort of Justice that was afforded Elian Gonzalez and the people of Waco.
Another dog and pony show.
But maybe…just maybe…

I know that the DOJ and AG Sessions cannot comment on ongoing investigations. I get that.
But when that pussy recused himself, I wanted to rip his effing head off.
I do not trust the DOJ, I do not trust the FBI, I do not trust anyone in Federal Law Enforcement, to protect and serve the People of the U.S., at all, EVER.
NEVER give up your guns folks, because these people DO NOT have our best interests at heart.
I am close to despairing for my granddaughter. Don’t mess with a pissed off grandma (or mom).
Watch, Sessions will appoint someone like Terry McCauliffe as special prosecutor. That’s when the pitchforks come out!
Any investigation better make Uranium 1 the central issue. That’ll be the dam of the swamp.
Well, havta admit that though
he may or not have intended it
The Donald stuck the manure
fork deep in the DC cesspool.
Well, good. It’s about time. I hope this is just the beginning.
Please let this be a start of the cow’s demise.
It is my opinion that sessions has the balls of a hummingbird. The public outcry is too large to sweep this issue under the rug so a inquiry has been launched, or has it? A new attorney general is needed if any true investigation is to come back with an indictment.
