Horowitz only has jurisdiction over current DOJ federal employees, so it’s definitely not him. About a week ago there were reports that Steele was refusing to meet with Durham, so most likely that’s who it actually is:
Grassley and Graham sent a criminal referral for Steele to the DOJ last year, so they may be threatening him with extradition, especially with Trump over there now in contact with UK leadership:

If it happens, Steele is unlikely to come clean. Like most of these fraudsters, they just dig deeper into their bag of dirty tricks. Their hope is to drag this out and hope Trump loses the election, which is why all these delays in justice being served have been so infuriating. But this is a positive development, overall. Getting testimony from Assange should be a priority as well.
Thank you for the informed reply and info.
The function of an Inspector General is to investigate allegations of wrongdoing or misconduct by both employees and contractors. It is my understanding that Steel may have been paid by the FBI, thereby effectively making him a contractor to the bureau. Since it would be hard for the IG to investigate a contractor without having some access to them, I wouldn’t rule out a Horowitz interview with Steele. Any thoughts on this?
BTW I completely agree with you that that the cabal is trying to stonewall and drag this out in hopes of Trump losing. They’re buying time and I supposed Barr is well aware of what they’re doing.
