Horowitz cannot admit what happened until after the Statute of Limitations has passed.
Examination of the Departments and the FBIs Compliance with Legal Requirements and Policies in Applications Filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Relating to a certain U.S. PersonThe OIG, in response to requests from the Attorney General and Members of Congress, is examining the Departments and the FBIs compliance with legal requirements, and with applicable DOJ and FBI policies and procedures, in applications filed with the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) relating to a certain U.S. person. As part of this examination, the OIG is also reviewing information that was known to the DOJ and the FBI at the time the applications were filed from or about an alleged FBI confidential source. Additionally, the OIG is reviewing the DOJs and FBIs relationship and communications with the alleged source as they relate to the FISC applications. If circumstances warrant, the OIG will consider including other issues that may arise during the course of the review.
No timeframe is given. I wonder if an ETA has been given elsewhere.
There's also this one:
FBIs Confidential Human Source ProgramThe OIG is auditing the FBIs Confidential Human Source Program. The preliminary objectives are to: (1) assess the FBIs management and oversight of its Confidential Human Source Program, to include the FBIs oversight of payments to confidential human sources, (2) examine the FBIs confidential human source policies to ensure consistency with the Attorney General Guidelines, and (3) assess the FBIs process of determining reliability and appropriateness of confidential human sources.
Seems like it could apply to the Christopher Steele matter, maybe, but again no timeframe.
