Here’s what is becoming transparently obvious. The fab-five are cooperating with the investigative unit of the OIG. All five of them. The text message release was strategic. It was intended to substantiate the entire enterprise, put the ‘small group on notice’ and flush out the co-conspirators. The downstream exits of Kortan, Laufman, Rybicki, McCabe et al are evidence therein.

I'd have to say this is pretty damn' spot on if the rest of the article is true (and it rings true to me ...)

<>As a person familiar with such specific investigative measures recently shared:<>

“They are sat down, told to not do anything, say anything or discuss anything UNTIL they get an attorney. At which time, the attorney is handed a letter from the investigating unit. That letter says in essence, this is how screwed you are. If you want to be less screwed you will sign this letter of cooperation and assist us. When we don’t need you, you sit there. When we do we will call you and you will provide what we need. Any deviation from this agreement lands you in jail for the full term.”
