Three senior Justice Department officials violated internal policies and engaged in “misconduct” when they leaked details about a non-public investigation to the media “days before an election,” the agency’s inspector general revealed Monday.

The DOJ’s Office of the Inspector General (OIG), which has been run by Michael Horowitz since 2012, launched a probe after it received a complaint alleging that a “politically motivated” disclosure related to “information about ongoing matters” was made in the runup to an unspecified election.

“The OIG investigation found that three then Senior DOJ Officials violated DOJ’s Confidentiality and Media Contacts Policy by leaking to select reporters, days before an election, non-public DOJ investigative information regarding ongoing DOJ investigative matters, resulting in the publication of two news articles that included the non-public DOJ investigative information,” the DOJ OIG said in a briefThree senior Justice Department officials violated internal policies and engaged in “misconduct” when they leaked details about a non-public investigation to the media “days before an election,” the agency’s inspector general revealed Monday.

My first thought was Pam Bondi should fire them as soon as possible. But no, they are already gone. The article said they violated a policy, but I don't know of any laws.

There must be consequences for this “misconduct”. They should miss recess and sit in time out every day for 1 week.

There are election interference laws they can be charged with.

Horwitz probably recommended they get a strongly-worded letter in their personnel files.

Amazing that this is being released in such a timely manner. Seems like lately these sorts of transgression would have been stonewalled for years.

Sounds like election interference and conspiracy to defraud the US government.

But perhaps won't be.

Imagine a future when a WH admin can use key officials of various Executive agencies to use their authority and taxpayer monies to significantly influence the outcome of elections, and then either get away with it or be pardoned by the outgoing president.

Bondi will be pretty busy for a while. So much deep state, so little time.

“officials violated internal policies and engaged in “misconduct” “

Notice how they scaled treason down to “misconduct”, in other words not criminal when it clearly was.
