As a former IG what you say on the surface is true. However if in the conduct of an inquiry, investigation or assistance request law breaking comes up we would refer it to local law enforcement.
I was the NCOIC for Assistance and Investigations in the 82d Abn Div for about 3-years and had over 17,000 assistance requests. We also had a few dozen congressional requests. These requests ranged from marital-financial-support requests (about 40%), harassment, review of airborne status terminations, reviewing nonjudicial punishment, to inspection of facilities and equipment.
I had on my desk the phone numbers of the military police and investigators, hotlines to DC, ability to walk directly into the Div Commander’s office, etc.
The IG started out as an army function and those of us selected to become US Army IGs we hold that historical context in the highest regard, and the history of failures revisited to ensure the present and future are better for our existence.
I cannot speak for other agencies, but the IG report will have consequences. That it may well be an ongoing investigation might temper current result. My concern is that he has so many people working for him (are they IGs and if so how were they trained?). Usually an IG or the IG Team handle matters internally and give periodic updates on only lighting rod issues to the commander or the IG Officer in charge. I worry that the IG is the incorrect investigative format or organization.
I believe that the IG in this case is being used to review and report on procedural misconduct, personal misconduct and law-breaking.
One wonders what the other side has on Sessions, that he would lay down and do nothing for his entire tenure as AG.
Sessions was the”first” or “last line of defense” in the NEVER TRUMPERS plot.
He was a plant by the deep state!!!!
He came out early for Trump. Got his confidence, and then screwed him every step of the way, once appointed AG!
Like everyting else that comes out of Washington it will be a whitewash that lends the appearance of a legitmate investigation but in reality says little and largely protects the guilty from any real consequences. This is what the Swamp does everyday.
Sessions disgraced himself and effectively destroyed his reputation and career. Nobody would do that unless something was held over their heads.
He was a plant from the get go. Whether that was intentional (i.e., a willing accomplice) or not, we may never know. He did someone’s bidding, that’s for sure. Had he successfully played a pivotal role in ousting Trump Sessions would no doubt have been rewarded handsomely for his treachery. His miscalculation cost him his reputation.
Something seemed way off.

Yes it was. Please see my #25.
I have a suspicion of what he fears being revealed that would tarnish his cultivated image of a moral, southern, Christian Gentleman. When it's all said and done, I hope he is outed so he can die in shame along with what he allowed to happen in his tenure. He placed preserving his image above his country. He should have resigned instead of recusing himself from his job.

The AG needs to jerk a knot in Huber’s a$$.
One always enjoys reading your blog each AM. Thanks for posting it all...
I am hoping that Trump puts every single person in those 60,000 +++ indictments & any others that Barr finds doing dirty deeds on the NO FLY LIST.
Then, Freeze all their passports.
When Barr gets into gear, those people will be trying to fly to NO EXTRADITION locations.
Do you know/believe Sessions has been in the company of children and, perhaps, playing “ping pong”?
He always seemed to be a smirky little devil...
Sessions laid the groundwork for Barr. Without Sessions, this wouldn't be happening.

(See, I can type a letter too!)
“Sessions laid the groundwork for Barr.“
If Sessions has done his damned in the first place Barr wouldn’t be AG.
