Sessions considering Special Counsels for Uranium One, FBI handling of email probe
“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 letter specifically mentioned allegations related to the FBI’s handling of the Clinton email probe, including allegations that DOJ and FBI “policies or procedures” were “not followed in connection with, or in actions leading up to or related to” then-FBI Director James Comey’s public announcement to close the Clinton email “matter” on July 5, 2016, or the letter he sent lawmakers on October 28, 2016, about newly discovered Clinton emails, and that those “investigative decisions were based on improper considerations.”

Asked by CNN whether he thought the President’s eldest son had been “moronic” to think that direct messages on Twitter constituted an “off the record” discussion, former CIA boss Michael Hayden said “it takes your breath away”, and added: “When I read the story I was just shaking my head”.
He added: “I have actually defaulted to the explanation of inexperience and naiveté when it comes to some of the campaign’s behaviour with regard to Russia and Wikileaks, and there’s probably still a fair amount of that, but I have to tell you that these continued discoveries that we are picking up here, I have to begin to ask the questions: ‘Were there any limits? Was there any sense of appropriateness? Was there any sense of propriety? Were there any lines beyond which the campaign would not go?’”
He added: “I’m not talking about it as a legal matter… I’m talking about a question of ethics in American political culture. There doesn’t seem to have been any limits here.”
Roger, what other policy issues do you support Ryan and McConnell?

Go for it Mr self proclaimed "deep thinker".
It's way past time for a shake-up in those Federal agencies. But somehow that statement sounds more like a political CYA and ultimately a brush-off. And also without much leadership from the top driving it, I've got a suspicion that it wont go very far.
I just HATE it when this happens, when someone on Fox starts acting like a real journalist and tells the truth.
Fox Anchor Debunks his own network's Clinton "scandal"
https://politicalwire.com/2017/11/15/shep-smith-debunks-networks-favorite-clinton-scandal/
Ch Truth HATES it too.
And a lot of Fox viewers are absolutely frothing at the mouth.
It really makes me and Ch Truth angry that Clinton isn't even worried about being investigated. That really hacs me off, pisses me off, infuriates me.

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday warned that if President Trump directs his Justice Department to investigate her role in a 2010 sale of a uranium company, it would be "a disastrous step into politicizing the Justice Department."
"This is such an abuse of power," Clinton said in an interview with Mother Jones, following reports that the Justice Department is considering appointing a special counsel to investigate.
"I regret if they do it because it will be such a disastrous step to politicizing the justice system," she said. "If they send a signal that we're going to be like some dictatorship, like some authoritarian regime, where political opponents are going to be unfairly, fraudulently investigated, that rips at the fabric of the contract we have, that we can trust our justice system."
Several Republicans have called for a special counsel to be named to investigate the Obama-era deal, which happened while Clinton was secretary of State. Attorney General Jeff Sessions said this week that the State Department would only consider such a step if it fits "a factual basis that meets the standard of a special counsel."
But Trump has expressed frustration with his Justice Department and Sessions, pointing to a "lack of investigation" into Clinton and citing the Uranium One deal.
The company, Uranium One, at the time the deal was made, controlled land equal to about 20 percent of the U.S.'s uranium capacity.
Republicans have sought to tie the takeover to $145 million in donations to the Clinton Foundation by stakeholders in the company.
Democrats have countered that Clinton wasn't personally involved in the sale. Nine agencies, including the State Department, approved the deal at the time. It was also investigated by congressional committees in 2015.
Clinton said she is "not concerned" with whether a special counsel will be appointed or that she will face indictments "because I know that there is no basis to it.
"And at the end of the day, nothing will come of it, but it will, you know, cause a lot of terrible consequences that we might live with for a really long time," she said.
