"The Attorney General has directed senior federal prosecutors to evaluate certain issues raised in your letters," Assistant Attorney General Stephen Boyd said in the letter sent to House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), among others.
"These senior prosecutors will report directly to the Attorney General and the Deputy Attorney General, 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."

Neal Katyal, who wrote the special counsel regulations as an aide in the Clinton Justice Department and later served as acting solicitor general in the Obama administration, said there’s no apparent reason for a special counsel to investigate the Clinton-related matters.
“I drafted the Special Counsel regs. They require a ‘conflict of interest for the Dept or other extraordinary circumstances’ I look fwd to learning what possible conflict of interest there is. AG Sessions boss Trump calling for a Spcl Counsel doesnt cut it,” Katyal wrote on Twitter.

Finally, hopefully something will come of this. I highly doubt it though, finding a past president and first lady guilty of crimes would not be something that would happen.

To his credit as a transparent President, Donald Trump did tell Lester Holt last year that the United States is "not so innocent" when it comes to world affairs.

Yeah but that doesn't matter to the new neo nationalist left.
The ones that screamed about being isolationist.

This is like a parent telling a toddler maybe. Just to shut them up.
Boyd's letter stops short of confirming any actual investigation or promising one on any topic. It also alludes to the fact that Sessions has recused himself from matters related to the 2016 campaign, although it remains unclear which of the matters Republicans want investigated would fall into that category.
Thirteen House Republicans are calling on Attorney General Jeff Sessions to appoint a second special counsel to investigate Hillary Clinton.
The conservative lawmakers sent a letter to Sessions on Wednesday requesting that he appoint a special counsel to investigate the end of the Clinton email probe, the start of the investigation into Russia's election meddling and alleged surveillance abuses by the FBI.

Geez about time, but let me guess they will find no criminal wrongdoing.
