they said huber largely finished and found nothing worth pursuing.espondent for "vanity fair." emily, you know, on the maga hat, if you had a subhead, it's investigate the investigators. >> but it works for him. it's such a crazy mentality. his mentality has been the i am rubber, you are glue. anything anyone says about him is negative, he pins on somebody else. that's the way he's in private life and public life. so when there are legitimate investigations into him and his campaign and administration, what he says is forget about those guys. let's look at the illegitimate investigations. it's just a trumpian fact that has been an effective strategy for him. this should deter all of us from talking about the investigations. but it won't deter him from talking about them. >> and the person it puts in a political vice is investigating the same things that john huber, the u.s. attorney out of utah was tapped two or three ags ago to investigate. at this point, he would be the outliars out liar. they've looked through three different parts of this. congre

john huber was tapped to look into concerns raised by president trump and his allies in congress.ued cases of possible corruption at the clinton foundation and during her time as secretary of state when the u.s. government decided not to block the sale of a company called uranium one. attorney general sessions sent a letter to john huber telling him to review a wide array of issues related to clinton, along with the fbi's handling of the investigation when he was secretary of state. also alleged leaks by james comey. at the time, the attorney general, jeff sessions, was facing persistent private and public criticism from president trump. everybody is asking, says trump, why the justice department and fbi isn't looking into all of the dishonesty going on with crooked hillary and the democrats. that's what the president tweeted at the time. in addition to the president, attorney general william barr has been among the conservative voices in washington who had suggested there was possible criminal wrongdoing in the yo uranium one matter especially. jeff sessions getting all this pres

so now, evan joining us, and now, two years after justice attorney john huber got a second look at thebusiness dealings and what did he find? >> not much. that is the thing, and the justice department was looking into whether or not hillary clinton did anything illegal and got any special treatment from the fbi, and looking at this uranium company called uranium one and whether she did anything illegal in the sale some time ago and what huber has done over the last couple of years is to look at all of those things that the president and the allies wanted a special kocounsel, and they did not get it, but jeff sessions wanted it looked at. while this is not officially closed and there is no formal closing of it, it appears that it is just that, a dud. so we will see whether finally somebody at the justice department is able to close this and give the president the bad news that there won't be charges against hillary clinton as a result of the investigation. >> and evan, cnn has reported that many of the allegations against hillary clinton came from the book "clinton cash" by peter schwei

huber apparently didn't manufacture a case out of nothing just to placate the attorney general or theouse, but the fact that this investigation or investigations was undertaken in the first instance is among the lowest points in the modern history of the department of justice, and that's saying a lot for this administration because it was commissioned essentially as a cram down by the white house to pressure the department of justice to redo investigations of matters that, according to the public record, had already been determined to lack prosecutorial merit purely to satiate the president's personal political grievances and conspiracy theories. >> you also- -- you say this sets a dangerous precedent when you just think about doj moving forward. what's the remedy? >> the remedy is for public officials, whether they're political appointees or career appointees, to do the right thing. when someone is asking them to do the wrong thing, and they're options are to refuse to undertake what is palpably a politically inspired investigation, contrary to department practice, or to resign. and

huber on the case to review what had happened before. that may or may not be the problem. problem is it sounds like people are saying the reason for the huber investigation was to appease the president of the united states who wanted to get dirt in this instance against hillary clinton, other instances with joe biden as we've been discussing with impeachment. and that is unfortunate. the idea that the justice department or fbi or any other law enforcement entity is deciding to make decisions about investigating people because they want to satisfy the president or appease the president or amoll identify the president is not the way it's supposed to work. >> is this an unusual case, or are there other examples? >> some people might say the john durham investigation is the same. he's been tasked with looking at the origins of the russia investigation in connecticut given we've already had an inspector general office look at the origins of russia investigation and to the extent that also was done by bill barr in this case to appease the president and take two or three shots at

then jeff sessions asked attorney general john huber to look into it in 2017. later finding out current and former law enforcement officials said they never expected the effort to produce much of anything because it was bogus from the beginning. a pumped up hyper partisan narrative "the washington post" gave four pinocchio's in 2017 all this comes after trump administration cleared hillary clinton on the e-mail scandal writing there was no persuasive evidence. despite this from within the trump administration, there will be those that ignore or dismiss them as work of the deep state or hope another investigation will vindicate their claims. some folks want to keep repeating lock her up like this guy last week. >> you should lock her up. >> it matters these investigations were pursued because of the hyper partisan pressure. targeting power of the state on a person you hate just to simply distract is absolutely abuse of power and a danger to democracy. for all the air time these conspiracy theories got, for all the people duped, embraced, deflect, it was trump's
