Well said.
From what I’ve seen, someone from the Office of Professional Responsibility and a US Attorney are routinely assigned to review certain IG investigations because the IG lacks prosecutorial or even disciplinary power.
If the ongoing IG investigation has long gone beyond the Clinton email affair, what exactly is the announcement that the OIG will “initiate a review” of FISA-connected behavior?

Seems like a new ‘review’ just now beginning.
I think the IG is announcing a new investigation for his purposes, i.e., investigating procedural issues in the issuance of FISA warrants, but that Prosecutor Huber has probably already been going down that track in search of criminality. It’s not like there wasn’t plenty of evidence indicating corruption in the FISA process. Huber wouldn’t have any trouble justifying an investigation, even without an IG report.
