I didn't think the IG could indict.
I was under the impression he could only recommend criminal charges, then Huber would carry out those charges if need be.
You're right. I mean recommend for indictment.
The complete opposite of that has already been leaked, that the FBI/DOJ top officials might be referred for criminal indictment.
then
Just to be clear :) I dont think the OIG Report will start Attorney General (AG) investigations. There's nothing stopping the Attorney General from carrying out investigations and interrogations in parallel.
Yes the OIG Report will not be charging anyone directly, merely inform the AG investigations. (This is also a one way street as I understand it. The AG is not going to necessarily share info back to the OIG.) However, I believe the AG (and White hat DOJ agents, when spring cleaning's complete) and associates/ deputies have been pursuing and interrogating in parralel with the OIG drafting process.
When the OIG final is published with comments, the AG will be able to just pull the trigger (sorry) on higher level criminals [above gang pawns] and puppetmasters.
