::::: I read somewhere that the reason the Just-us Dept. refuses to prosecute crimes that are found thru the OIG is because of a supposed wall the Courts have established that say employees waived their 5th amendment rights for an internal investigation, not criminal charges.:::::

Would this be tied to Garrity v. New Jersey, 385 U.S. 493 (1967)?

A law enforcement officer can invoke his Garrity Rights against self-incrimination, whereby the interview and evidence of misconduct (discipline) can only be used for departmental investigations and not for criminal prosecution purposes.

I will defer to LEOs and attorneys....anyone?

Try reading these tweets and listen to the snip of AG Barr linked in one of them. Makes total sense to me. McCabe or whoever it was wasn’t prosecuted because there of ongoing investigations already. I of course not being legal minded have no idea. But it makes no sense that McCabe or whatever it was is just going to skate.

If that were so, the entire OIG would be a cover-up. But if it were so the OIG would not make referrals as they do.
