Attorney General Jeff Sessions, FBI Spox and Office of DOJ Inspector General Release Statements
The Last refuge ^ | 12/4/17

Posted on 12/04/2017 6:23:59 AM PST by Altura Ct.

Did you know the DOJ has been investigating the FBI for 11 months…. wait, what?

Hold-up on the criticism folks. Three important statements today from the DOJ, FBI and OIG indicate there have been ongoing investigations and reviews of conduct within the upper tiers of leadership within the Department of Justice and the FBI.

Given the nature of the leaked IG investigation to the Washington Post and New York times; surrounding apex investigator and deputy head of counterintelligence at the FBI Peter Strzok; and accepting the direct approach of President Trump in his tweets toward that revelation; and adding the layer of Intel Chairman Devin Nunes threatening to file ‘contempt of congress charges‘; there is every indication something is about to break – very soon.

“[The allegations] if proven to be true, would raise serious questions of public trust. I look forward to receiving the Inspector General’s report. We will ensure that anyone who works on any investigation in the Department of Justice does so objectively and free from bias or favoritism.”

“My job is to restore confidence in the Department of Justice in all aspects of our work and I intend to do so. As such, I have directed that the FBI Director review the information available on this and other matters and promptly make any necessary changes to his management and investigative teams consistent with the highest professional standards.”

~ Attorney General Jeff Sessions

“When the FBI first learned of the allegations, the employees involved were immediately reassigned, consistent with practices involving employee matters.”

~ FBI Spokesperson

Here’s the critical OIG statement:

“The January 2017 statement issued by the Department of Justice Office of the Inspector General (OIG) announcing its review of allegations regarding various actions of the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation in advance of the 2016 election stated that the OIG review would, among other things, consider whether certain underlying investigative decisions were based on improper considerations and that we also would include issues that might arise during the course of the review.

The OIG has been reviewing allegations involving communications between certain individuals, and will report its findings regarding those allegations promptly upon completion of the review of them.”

~ Justice Department Office of the Inspector General

What the OIG statement is saying is that for 11 months the Dept of Justice OIG office has been investigating the politicization within the DOJ and FBI and deciding if the actions, or lack of action, was driven by the political ideology of the participants therein.

I was not aware this investigation was taking place, were you?

Apparently the DOJ-OIG is close to “reporting its findings.”

It would be prudent to withhold negative opinion of AG Sessions and FBI Director Wray until we can see the outcome of the Inspector General findings – which will, given the duration of the investigation, likely be a very lengthy and extensive report.

All of a sudden the recent FBI leaks to the Washington Post and New York Times make more sense. All of the embedded political agents within the DOJ and FBI are quite possibly about to be exposed. This would explains a lot of the current activity and visible angst from within the participants of the professional administrative state.

This year-long OIG investigation could possibly explain a great deal of the current headlines on all sides of the DC spectrum. The black hats are on the cusp of being exposed.

So, he's "studying" the problem.

All quack and no act makes Jeffy a dull poodle.

So I imagine this will take A.G. Sessions at least 3 years to figure out, but by that time it will be the 2020 elections and too late.

He’s neutered.

POTUS should fire him and get a real dog to lead the DOJ.

Sorry bro, the FBI lost our trust the moment Comey announced Hillary was off the hook after mentioning the felonies she committed...

You lose. Good DAY, sir.

contempt of congress, has anyone ever gone to jail for contempt of congress?

I thought my contempt of congress was patriotic, not criminal.

That is one of the most foolish and uninformed statements I have ever read.

Will the FBI Democrat moles be fired or will they all be buried in the Human Resources Dept. so they can keep gorging at the taxpayer trough?

Hold YOUR breath.

Until Sessions and the poodle cabal are gone it will be leaky bidness and flatulence as usual.

The fbi became a political joke in my eyes in 1993 when they turned a blind eye to the crimes of Mike Chitwood the corrupt political operative chief of police of Portland, Maine.

The fbi has been in the pocket of the left wing communist since at least the Ruby Ridge massacre.

I don’t have to do anything, I support My President 100 % and everything he does, if he didn’t have faith in Sessions, he would have been gone along time ago just as Preibus, Spicer and the others were...

YOUR opinion doesn’t mean squat to me...

Geez, there's so much "what-ifs" on FR anymore, that lately I can't tell the real news from the fake news from the crystal-ball readers from the conspiracy theorists.

Until something actually happens, I'm trying to not pay too much attention.

That's because most of this pearl-clutching turns out to be unfounded speculation.

Don’t get your hopes up because A.G. Sessions moves entirely too slow. A snail would be Jeff Sessions in a foot race 3 times around the world race.

It will be 2020 before Sessions is even done investigating, and probably another 4 years after that to prosecute the low level and finally get Hillary around 80 years old.

In other words it’s just a stall game at this point, and pretend you are really doing something. Just be happy Hillary is not the POTUS.

The evidence against Hillary is so overwhelming. It’s open and shut case. What else does Jeff have to study? Hillary should be in prison by now.

I would not get your hopes up for a storm or Hillary to ever even spend 1 second in jail for all her crimes. Ditto all the people that covered her up like Comey, etc..

Maybe in 10 years it will go down? Nevertheless, they will all take plea deals and none of them will go to prison ever.
