Daily Beast op writer Mike Tomasky worried about Huber appointment
Quote:In this case, Huber was appointed by Sessions not to investigate potential wrongdoing by Trump administration officials, but potential wrongdoing by its critics and/or its perceived enemies. And he was appointed because of pressure from within the president’s own party to go after the supposed Deep Staters.
So on the surface, Huber’s appointment is “the same” as Fitzgerald’s and the other one, in that Huber is investigating possible malfeasance within the broad executive branch. But in raw political terms, it is precisely the opposite kind of case.
Imagine if Eric Holder had appointed a U.S. attorney to look into possible illegal leaking within the IRS by officials who were critical of Lois Lerner. Conservatives’ brains would have exploded. Yet that is essentially what Sessions has done here, and so far, Washington is yawning.
And on Fox recently, law professor Jonathan Turley—once upon a time a sorta-kinda liberal, but now a Federalist Society “contributor”—veritably gloated. “I think people are missing what could be a brilliant move here by Sessions,” Turley said. “What he did is he essentially combined the powers of the inspector general with the powers of a line prosecutor.”

So they're critics if they abused the system?

Consider the source. It is funny though that liberals are suddenly looking around and saying, "what dafuq?"

They’re starting to realize they’ve been played for fools and treated like fools by the very people they pushed all in on in trying to defend them.
As well as buying the false narrative that it was their opponents that were the guilty party in the shenanigans those they have defended for DECADES have been involved in all this time.
The Emperor has no clothes, and it’s just starting to become clear. To all. The oft peddled narrative has begun unraveling.
