Trump's DOJ Just Blindsided Hillary, Investigation Is Complete They Found Everything!
As the Inspector General at the Department of Justice puts the finishing touches, on
the highly anticipated official report detailing the agency's investigation, into Hillary
Clinton's email server and the subsequent investigation, officials are announcing they
are expecting to receive the full details of the finalized report as early as the end
of this week.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz notified lawmakers in a Wednesday letter, that the
draft report was complete and being made available to the agencies, and individuals examined
in the probe.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the DOJ has now notified multiple subjects mentioned
in the document, that they can privately review it by week's end and will have a "few
days" to craft, any response to criticism contained within the report prior to making
the report available to the public.
The WSJ reports "Those invited to review the report were told, they would have to sign
nondisclosure agreements in order to read it, people familiar with the matter said.
They are expected to have a few days to craft a response to any criticism in the report,
which will then be incorporated in the final version to be released in coming weeks."
A related report was published in April detailing the DOJ's case, against former FBI Deputy
Director Andrew McCabe.
McCabe was found to have lied on four separate occasions to both the DOJ and the FBI, including
twice while under oath.
McCabe was subsequently fired just one day before he was set to receive his full pension,
after it was discovered through the course of the investigation that McCabe, authorized
a self-serving leak to the WSJ with claims, the FBI did not put the brakes on the investigation
into the Clinton Foundation.
All of which took place during a period of time when he was already, under a great deal
of scrutiny and criticism over a $467,500 campaign donation, received by his wife Jill
for her failed Senatorial bid from known Clinton crony, Terry McAuliffe.
There is also to be expected an additional report detailing the FBI's alleged FISA
abuse, high-level collusion against the Trump campaign, or the genesis of the counterintelligence
investigation against then-candidate Donald Trump, as part of a separate investigation.
The OIG's office will release that report at a later date.
This particular report details the investigation into the Clinton email scandal, and detailed
the conduct of FBI "lovebirds" Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.
Strzok led the Clinton email investigation, as well as handling the early portion of the
Trump-Russia investigation.
The OIG report is expected to cover significant edits made, by the FBI's top brass to Hillary
Clinton's exoneration statement effectively decriminalizing, her mishandling of classified
information so that she wouldn't be prosecuted by the DOJ.
Just who is Michael Horowitz?
Horowitz essentially waged a one-man war with the Obama Administration, with the March 5th,
2013 release of a report for Congress titled Open, and Unimplemented IG Recommendations.
This report drew attention to the stonewalling by focusing on the money being wasted.
But it was much more than that.
There were over 30 Tweets in reference to this situation which can be accessed, by following
the line of conversation from this post.
It laid the Obama Admin bare before Congress illustrating among other things, how the administration
was wasting tens-of-billions of dollars by ignoring the recommendations made by the OIG.
After several attempts by Congress to restore the OIG's investigative powers, Rep. Jason
Chaffetz successfully introduced H.R. 6450 the Inspector General Empowerment Act of 2016,
signed by a defeated lame duck President Obama into law on December 16th, 2016, thus cementing
an alliance between Horowitz and both houses of Congress.
So this report is unlikely to be simply business as usual, while the public will not get to
see classified details of the OIG report, Horowitz is also big on public disclosure.
With Horowitz's concerted and directed efforts to roll back former Attorney General Eric
Holder's restrictions, on the OIG office sealed the working relationship between Congress,
and the Inspector General's office, allowing investigations such as those currently ongoing
to effectively take place, and hold those guilty of unethical and criminal acts to be
held accountable.
Moreover, FBI Director Christopher Wray seems to be on the same page as well.
As far as the final draft of the current OIG report expected by Congress in approximately
one week, on January 12, 2017, Inspector Horowitz announced an OIG investigation based on "requests
from numerous Chairmen, and Ranking Members of Congressional oversight committees, various
organizations and members of the public."
The initial focus of the investigation centered around the FBI's handling of the Clinton
email investigation, and as to whether or not Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe should
have been recused from the investigation, due to a conflict of interest with regards
to the campaign donations, his wife took in total to the tune of about $700,000 from known
Clinton crony and associate, Terry McAuliffe.
The investigation grew to encompass potential collusion within the Clinton campaign, as
well as the timing of various FOIA releases.
Preliminaries of the IOG report reveal that on July 27, 2017 the House Judiciary Committee
called on the DOJ to appoint a Special Counsel, detailing their concerns in 14 questions pertaining
to "actions taken by previously public figures like Attorney General Loretta Lynch, FBI Director
James Comey, and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton."
The questions raised from former Attorney General Loretta Lynch directing Comey to mislead
the American people on the nature of the Clinton investigation, Clinton's mishandling of
classified information while she served as Secretary of State, as well as the subsequent
mishandling of Clinton's email investigation by the FBI, the DOJ's failure to empanel
a grand jury to investigate Clinton, and further questions about the Clinton Foundation, Uranium
One, and whether the FBI relied on the "Trump-Russia" dossier created by Fusion GPS.
The House Judiciary Committee repeated their call to the DOJ demanding a special counsel,
as of September 26, 2017 after discovering disgraced former FBI director James Comey
lied, to Congress when he stated hat he decided not to recommend criminal charges against
Hillary Clinton, until after she was interviewed, when in fact Comey had drafted her exoneration
before said interview.
And now that we have all the pieces, the OIG report can tie all of this together and make
sense of it as it will satisfy all legal requirements, for the DOJ to impartially appoint a Special
Counsel.
below from TrumpSoldier via Twitter details where the report from the OIG's office will
go to both investigative committees of Congress, along with Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
After Congress has thoroughly reviewed the OIG report to their satisfaction, the House
and Senate Judiciary Committees will use it to supplement their investigations, which
should then result in hearings.
The end result will be that of demanding a Special Counsel investigation.
The DOJ can choose to appoint a Special Counsel at any point.
Sessions has declined to do so thus far.
If the demand for a Special Counsel is ignored, Congress has the option to force the issue
via legislation to force the appointment.
Technically, the DOJ could choose to simply act on the evidence presented within the OIG
report, and then choose to investigate and prosecute themselves without an appointment
of a Special Counsel; however, it is highly unlikely that will actually occur.
After the report's completion, the DOJ will weigh in on it.
Their comments are key.
As TrumpSoldier points out in his analysis, the DOJ can take various actions regarding
"Policy, personnel, procedures, and re-opening of investigations.
In short, just about everything.
Meanwhile, recent events appear to correspond with bullet points in both the original OIG
investigation letter and the 7, 27, 2017 letter forwarded to the Inspector General.
With the wheels set in motion last week seemingly align with Congressional requests and the
OIG mandate, and the upcoming OIG report likely to serve as a foundational opinion, the DOJ
will finally be empowered to move forward with an impartially appointed Special Counsel.
