INVESTIGATIVE SUMMARY
The Department of Justice (DOJ), Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated this investigation upon the receipt of information from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), alleging that a then FBI Deputy Assistant Director (DAD) had numerous contacts with members of the media in violation of FBI policy. Additionally, it was alleged that the DAD may have disclosed law enforcement or other sensitive information to the media without authorization. This matter is among the OIG investigations referenced on page 430 of the OIG’s Review of Allegations Regarding Various Actions by the Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Advance of the 2016 Election (June 2018; https://www.justice.gov/file/1071991/download
The OIG investigation concluded that the DAD engaged in misconduct when the DAD: (1) disclosed to the media the existence of information that had been filed under seal in federal court, in violation of 18 USC § 401, Contempt of Court; (2) provided without authorization FBI law enforcement sensitive information to reporters on multiple occasions; and (3) had dozens of official contacts with the media without authorization, in violation of FBI policy.
The OIG also found that the DAD engaged in misconduct when the DAD accepted a ticket, valued at approximately $225, to attend a media-sponsored dinner, as a gift from a member of the media, in violation of federal regulations and FBI policy.
Prosecution of the DAD was declined.
The OIG has completed this investigation and is providing this report to the FBI for appropriate action.
..........
Unless otherwise noted, the OIG applies the preponderance of the evidence standard in determining whether Department of Justice (DOJ) personnel have committed misconduct.

And who was this unnamed DAD?
L
And no prosecution so the Deep State continues to cover up their crimes.
McCabe.
“Prosecution of the DAD was declined.” is the kicker.
Declined by WHOM?
You did not expect him to be prosecuted, did you?
I’m sure Wray will take stern measures against this ....
EXTREME SARCASM/////
We’re waiting
McCabe was Deputy Director.
What the heck is this, this is NOT the IG report we have been waiting for I hope!!! Where is this from???
Ahh... this is Strzok then.
If you are waiting for someone to be prosecuted for their crimes, I would not hold my breath.
“Prosecution of the DAD was declined.” is the kicker.
“Declined by WHOM?”
He was referred to the US Attorney for DC, Jessie K. Liu.
My current feeling is that the OIG report will follow his previous methodology and decline to recommend prosecution.
I know folks were hoping for better news, but remember this whole thing is rocking the institutions of government and he may have just punted to avoid more disruption.
This looks like the investigation into McCabe. I don’t understand why it’s coming out today.
Really have to dig deep to find out it was Peter
Strzok.
The only excuse for that is if there are much weightier charges coming down the pike for him, which would trivialize the penalties for these.
Struck/Stroke was a DAD. Him or McCabe. So this starts the dribble of IG reports. Sad sad sad commentary. After all that, some moron is declining to charge?????????
“this is NOT the IG report we have been waiting for I hope!!! Where is this from???”
This is not the report we are now waiting for, it is just a notice posted to the web, about the decision not to prosecute the referral from last year.
“This matter is among the OIG investigations referenced on page 430 of the OIG’s Review of Allegations Regarding Various Actions by the Department and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Advance of the 2016 Election (June 2018)”
It seems to be about McCabe leaking to media, and accepting a relatively small gift of a ticket to attend a media-sponsored dinner.
