Bret Baier said this evening, that the IG report is coming out any day now.
Hiring Joe diGenova at this point in time makes perfect sense.

DOJ OIG reports on personnel aren’t normally made public the way audits and such are.
On the OIG web site
https://oig.justice.gov/reports/all.htm
a March 14 entry shows the typical ‘Summary’ of personnel reports. Pretty anonymous.
As Andy McCabe’s lawyer indicated in his written response to McCabe’s termination, the OIG report was recently finalized.
[…] Mr. McCabe and his counsel were given limited access to a draft of the OIG report late last month, did not see the final report and the evidence on which it is based until a week ago.
[…] We were given only four days to review a voluminous amount of relevant evidence, prepare a response, and make presentations to the Office of the Deputy Attorney General.
It would appear toward the end of last month (February), McCabe and his attorney were given the summary outline of the OIG referral submitted to the Office of Professional Responsibility. They had approximately three weeks to file a response.
Then a week ago, they received the finalized a copy of the OPR recommendation delivered to Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. They had four more days to respond to the Deputy AG.
