Anyone who thinks Donald Trump, Dan Coats and John Kelly were deceived by this is naive.
Just because the IG is looking at this does not mean that a US Attorney is not also looking. That part would not be made public.
You make a good point.
We already know the IG is outside the “Main Justice” cabal. He can’t subpoena non employees but he can and is referring to those who can.
Other than the IG, the whole DC justice main office is corrupt — there are very few not interlocked with corruption. And I don’t mean Democrats — corruption there is Republican and Democrat.
Dan Coats agrees with the preposterous Crowdstrike-and-Brenner-inspired “Russia assessment.” Trump does not accept it but if he tells the truth he will be shouted down by his own “intelligence” appointees.
