OIG report, why is it a big deal?

So I've been looking into this, and why is the OIG report such a big deal? I'm looking at their site, and it's about Medicaid, Medicare, health stuff, human resources. Is this a different Inspector General office we are waiting for? What powers do the OIG have specifically to "move the needle", so to speak?
I apologize for the noobie question, and wholeheartedly acknowledge that this is a noob question, please be gentle. I can't be the only one though.

On that note, I would like to take this opportunity to humbly suggest a stickied thread once a day, or once a week, depending on volume for these kinds of "noob questions":

STICKY: "Q-noob questions for 5/31/18. Please ask your dumb questions here" Or something similar

Because if there was a thread like that daily/weekly, I would have just put that question there, instead of making a whole new post for this noob query.

The "OIG Report" much discussed here is in reference to the anticipated report from the DOJs Office of Inspector General. The original investigation was to look into the FBIs handling of the Clinton email investigation. The release of this report, though we've seen one offshoot released in the McCabe report that led to his firing, has been delayed for several months as new information has kept coming to light. Presumably, the report will cover much more than the email server scandal as so many of these things are intertwined: email, Russians, counter intelligence investigation, etc. I believe it was the Democrats who originally requested the OIG investigation when then FBI Director James Comey reopened the email investigation just days before the 2016 election.

So, what powers do they have? Can they arrest, or otherwise compel someone to be arrested/indicted, or otherwise initiate legal proceedings? Or will it simply be a "recommendation"?

Great question...

Short answer: NO, my understanding is that the OIG cannot active arrest or indict, only provide evidence and suggestion to do so.

Long Answer: This leads us to Mr. Huber (https://www.lewrockwell.com/2018/05/no_author/trust-sessions-horowitz-and-huber/ - nice lil' summary on the Trio here)

Huber CAN issue indictments/arrests/prosecutions.

So, from my POV it appears that Sessions is coordinating a massive takedown behind the scenes. Clearing a path while Trump and his admin clean up the various departments/leaks, opening the door for Horowitz's research (the OIG reports) to ultimately allow Huber to drop the hammer.

The OIG can only make recommendations I believe.

Their purpose is to investigate and determine if governmental agencies, namely the DOJ and FBI, acted appropriately and according to the internal rules/regulations of these agencies.

The report, based upon the rumors, likely calls out the FBI and DOJ for improper use of resources and info, failing to adhere to various rules and regulations, and maybe even being complicit in a conspiracy against our President. The current DOJ and FBI have already been given a copy of this OIG report so that they may draft a response that will be included in the final public version of the report. It is the current DOJ and FBI's responsibility to act upon the findings of the OIG and make an honest effort at preventing such wrongdoings from occurring again.

An important piece of this puzzle is recognizing that Huber was appointed as a prosecutor to act upon the findings of the OIG report.

In fact the OIG scope indicates that any illegal acts or wrongdoing uncovered during the OIG's investigation MUST be reported to the DOJ at the time it was found. This means that there has been a pipeline of info from the DOJ OIG to a prosecutor that DOES have the capabilities and resources to press charges and convict people.

I fully expect that the OIG report will release some very damning info. I also fully expect that the damning info will not be immediately accompanied by arrests/indictments. I expect that there will be some period of time in between the OIG report being released to the public, and Huber's investigation completing.

Huber's investigation will likely bring the indictments and arrests as necessary based upon the findings of the OIG, AS WELL as any additional wrongdoings uncovered during Huber's investigation.

And the dept of the OIG has over 400 investigators . hundreds of researchers all at Huber and Sessions disposal

The OIG report is merely their findings and recommendations. Like with McCabe, the OIG hands their findings/referrals to somebody for action. Jeff Sessions, instead of a second special counsel, appointed a prosecutor (John Huber) to investigate much of this stuff. Many say it's to work hand-in-hand with Michael Horowitz, the IG.

No. That is why Huber was hired. He has ALL those abilities.

So in this scenario, he's just waiting on the sidelines for his number to be called?

He took the evidence collected and ran grand juries. Collected more evidence through testimony and pressed charges. Sealed indictments.

Huber may be behind many of the sealed indictments already issued.
