Sessions directs prosecutors to 'evaluate certain issues' involving Uranium One and Clinton, leaves door open on special counsel
By Brooke Singman | Fox News
Sessions opens door to special counsel on Uranium One
EXCLUSIVE – 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.
Nunes on Uranium One probe: Excuses make Clinton look guilty
“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.
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.”

“The Department has forwarded a copy of your letters to the IG so he can determine whether he should expand the scope of his investigation based on the information contained in those letters,” Boyd wrote. “Once the IG’s review is complete, the Department will assess what, if any, additional steps are necessary to address any issues identified by that review.”
While the Justice Department did not confirm or deny an ongoing investigation into Clinton matters, administration officials pointed Fox News to the attorney general’s testimony at his confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee in January, raising questions over whether he would recuse himself from this investigation.
“With regard to Secretary Clinton and some of the comments I made, I do believe that that could place my objectivity in question,” Sessions said in response to committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s, R-Iowa, asking whether he could approach a Clinton investigation “impartially.” Sessions added at the time, “I believe the proper thing for me to do would be to recuse myself from any questions involving those kind of investigations that involve Secretary Clinton and that were raised during the campaign or to be otherwise connected to it.”
Former FBI Director Robert Mueller was appointed in May as a special counsel to investigate accusations of collusion between Russia and officials close to President Trump.
"Evaluate" is a long way from "criminal investigation" but, hey, if it helps you get through your day, good for you.
McCarthy Era ll: The Sequel - now playing at a theater near you.
Anything to take the focus off of Trump, Trump Jr., Trump's admiration for dictators, Wikileaks, Russia, failed first year agenda, 30% + approval
ratings in polls, "wonderful" relationship with GOP Congress, etc.
I see our friends from the far-left can’t seem to run fast enough from investigating Hillary Clinton’s corruption and criminal activities. Add in the politically motivated former FBI director Comey and we have a real show coming.
Extensive documents and evidence and numerous actual witnesses exist.

“Weighs inquiry” means that they are looking to see if there is anything to investigate. It is not, as you claim in the thread title, a criminal investigation. Sessions, under orders from Trump, told the DOJ to see if there is anything to investigate. But hang on to your dreams, Mule. Meanwhile, Baby Trump, Flynn, Sessions and your Orange Leader all get closer to the day of reckoning. 😛

Most of the mature, responsible women I know don't care for the president. Some even make some great baby-back ribs. Sorry but I can't help Mule.

Sessions - The clown who has lied in Congressional testimonies how many times now? Oh, I forgot that he has a memory problem - forgive him. Ironic that he would be even thinking about something as ridiculous as this given his credibility. He's a true lackey for Putin's boy.
Saw Steve Schmidt (Republican Operative) today on TV ripping this inquiry, investigation, or whatever one chooses to call it. He ripped it up & down.

Isn't that cute.
You are incapable of explaining what anything "means". You are still trying to learn how to search and find actual information.
So, let's see.
Documents, evidence and actual witnesses exist for both the Uranium One and Clinton Foundation investigations.
Sixteen months after the Democrats make a baseless accusation no documents, evidence or actual witnesses exists for the fake Putin/Trump collusion investigation.
This is going to be fun to watch.
It's a damn shame this site doesn't have a "block" button like facebook does.
muleturd would be talking to himself and goober.

If there was any impropriety or anything illegal in these matters, may they be investigated properly and those that are guilty, be brought to justice.

Poor Mule. Sessions doesn't necessarily agree with the need for a special counsel.

"I want you all to know that if a special counsel is required, I, or I'm sure anyone else in the department that had the responsibility, would name one," Sessions said.
Sessions, who has recused himself from any matters connected to Clinton or the 2016 presidential campaign, also told the committee it would be inappropriate for the president to direct him to target a political rival.
"I have not been improperly influenced and would not be improperly influenced" by Trump, he said.
So now Trump and his administration go after his political opponent to deflect attention away from his corrupt, dishonest, and inept administration. This is what you normally see in third world banana republic countries. I guess it makes sense being we have a Dictator wannabe sitting in the White House and disgracing us both domestically and abroad. This douche is gonna run this countries reputation into the ground if they don't get rid of him soon. I pray that the Dems take back the house next November and with each day of this circus sh_t show that reality becomes more probable. If and when they do Trump will be impeached and sent out the door as the dishonorable piece of cr_p he is along with his whole conniving family.
Fox News Shepard Smith debunks this. I doubt Mule will read this or watch the video.

You prove yet again your are a dumba$$.
The politico piece selectively pulls snippets to make up a false report.
AG Sessions clearly stated why it is not yet time to bring in a Special Counsel on the Uranium One and Clinton Foundation matters.
He said there is process for that and that process is happening now.

It is you that is taking things out of context. Did you watch the Shepard Smith video? It is from the “most trusted” Fox News.
So, let's see.

You keep falling for the corrupt media fake news. The FBI and CIA are biased, and launch investigations for political gain. Any action taken against the Clintons and the Democrats is definitely fake, and manufactured by the corrupt conservative media, and the corrupt FBI and CIA, as Trump already stated.

You are right, the FBI and CIA were politically biased during the Obama administration.
There is significant evidence to support investigating the Uranium One and Clinton Foundation issues. as opposed to the fake Putin/Trump matter where there is no evidence whatsoever.
What does the CIA have to do with the Uranium One and Clinton Foundation?
Exactly. nothing.

Interesting that the far-left Snopes actually admitted that "The multimillion sums were channeled through a subsidiary of the Clinton Foundation, CGSCI"
Snopes of course did not explain why the Clintons passed the bribery through their Canadian organization.
The reason: The Clintons would not have to disclose the funds.

Hillary Clinton had no power to approve the deal. Have you watched the Shepard Smith video I posted? Why not? Are you afraid of the truth?

I like Sean very much, but he needs to realize people who make too much trouble end up on the Clinton Chronicles. Every single department of the govt. is rife with corruption. There is no such thing as justice in America. There is almost no point to even complain. Just get ready for when revolution comes, get your bug out bag, get off the grid, and then ban with like minded people to help create something decent with whatever is left of the country after the war.
