>Since the Attorney General is RECUSED
Nice analytics, anon but I think Session's recusal is VERY LIMITED. I believe he is only recused from anything pertaining to the election campaign.
Anyone else think this is a F'D up thing to say?
SEE PIC
In the OIG Report page 3…
"• Asked Clinton what appeared to be appropriate
questions and made use of documents to
challenge Clinton’s testimony and assess her
credibility during her interview. We found that,
by the date of her interview, the Midyear team
and Comey had concluded that the evidence did
not support criminal charges (absent a
confession or false statement by Clinton during
the interview), and that the interview had little
effect on the outcome of the investigation; and"
Specifically looking at:
concluded that the evidence did not support criminal charges (absent a …. false statement by Clinton during the interview)
Ignore that we are talking about Clinton here…it could be anyone
We seriously live in a country where the law enforcement finds no evidence you committed a crime but they are going to move forward with an interview anyway and then find you guilty of a crime for lying in said interview?
WTF!??
THE PUBLIC SHOULD BE OUTRAGED BY THIS IN WRITING IN THE OIG REPORT
I don't know how Q answered this, anon.
I'm pointing out the fucked up culture and/or procedures in Federal Investigations/Prosecutions
Imagine you are being investigated and they find no evidence to criminally charge you. They also can't get you to confess. Should be end of case right? No….now they will pull you into an investigation where they catch you in a lie and then criminally charge you.
^^Anons, the Inspector General Act is very enlightening and states exactly what AG Sessions authority is over Horowitz. Such as in the case of Horowitz' investigation:
"(1) Notwithstanding the last two sentences of section 3 (a), the Inspector General shall be under the authority, direction, and control of the Attorney General with respect to audits or investigations, or the issuance of subpenas, which require access to sensitive information concerning—
(A) ongoing civil or criminal investigations or proceedings;
(B) undercover operations;
(C) the identity of confidential sources, including protected witnesses;
(D) intelligence or counterintelligence matters; or
(E) other matters the disclosure of which would constitute a serious threat to national security.
(2) With respect to the information described under paragraph (1), the Attorney General may prohibit the Inspector General from carrying out or completing any audit or investigation, or from issuing any subpena, after such Inspector General has decided to initiate, carry out, or complete such audit or investigation or to issue such subpena, if the Attorney General determines that such prohibition is necessary to prevent the disclosure of any information described under paragraph (1) or to prevent the significant impairment to the national interests of the United States."

I referenced LAW. I'm not arguing anything. READ the LAW not a website no matter who is the author of the website. Horowitz just conducted an investigation and here is the LAW regarding his investigation…
"(1) Notwithstanding the last two sentences of section 3 (a), the Inspector General shall be under the authority, direction, and control of the Attorney General with respect to audits or investigations, or the issuance of subpenas, which require access to sensitive information concerning—
(A) ongoing civil or criminal investigations or proceedings;
(B) undercover operations;
(C) the identity of confidential sources, including protected witnesses;
(D) intelligence or counterintelligence matters; or
(E) other matters the disclosure of which would constitute a serious threat to national security.
(2) With respect to the information described under paragraph (1), the Attorney General may prohibit the Inspector General from carrying out or completing any audit or investigation, or from issuing any subpena, after such Inspector General has decided to initiate, carry out, or complete such audit or investigation or to issue such subpena, if the Attorney General determines that such prohibition is necessary to prevent the disclosure of any information described under paragraph (1) or to prevent the significant impairment to the national interests of the United States."
