One year later: John Huber's probe of Obama FBI-DoJ abuse of power produced nothing?

Mystery: It's been a year since Attorney General Jeff Sessions appointed "Top prosecutor" John Huber from Utah to probe 'alleged' abuses of power by the FBI and Justice Department during the Obama administration as those actions related to the scandal collectively known as "Spygate."

Meadows wants Huber to appear before Congress to provide some updates into his investigation - if he's got any to give.

We reported again in August that Huber had yet to interview key witnesses in the case including top-ranking DoJ official Bruce Ohr, who appears to have been neck-deep in Spygate.

In March amid calls for him to do something to get to the bottom of the Obama-era abuses of the FISA court to spy on POTUS Donald Trump's campaign by the FBI and Justice Department, Attorney General Jeff Sessions appointed Utah-based U.S. Attorney John Huber to the task.

In the months since, we've not heard much about Huber - about what he's investigating, who he's investigating, and what progress, if any, he's made thus far.

As the Times notes, additional key figures in Spygate have also not yet been contacted by Huber, including onetime 2016 Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, whom the Obama FBI secured a FISA court warrant to place under surveillance beginning in September 2016.

In Sessions' absence and knowing that special counsel Robert Mueller is only focusing on getting POTUS Trump, many of the president's supporters have been counting on Huber to bring some wins for the home team.
