It took 3.5 years (and counting) for IG Horowitz to report on a Coup against the President of the United States, and phones were destroyed, and servers were Bleach-bit, but IG Michael Atkinson did this in 30 days?
He ignored FEC rulings and DoJ policy to make his little Whistleblower work.
And, as this article points out so well, he ignored the charter and authority of his office. He tries to sell that he reluctantly did this, after jumping shark after shark and ignoring ruling after ruling!
This is Rod Rosenstein all over again. Schiff, Burr, and Warner have made it clear, his only value is being on the inside, so he does bad acting to act as if his crazy, circuitous, obstacle course was mandated.
You can draw a line from Sally Yates to this Michael K Atkinson.
When I heard Atkinson speak, I had no confidence in him. He sounded like a wimp and coward, and didn’t seem to know the Whistleblowers Act contents.
Time to clean another inhouse swamp.
