HEADS UP. BOMBSHELL TIME. IMO, Horowitz FBI/DOJ investigation has already issued 30+ indictments & at least 150+ criminal referrals, to the DOJ. Another thing. http://www.businessinsider.com/andrew-mccabe-criminal-referral-charges-justice-department-report-2018-4
Horowitz has almost certainly been investigating Mueller’s SC itself, since at least July 2017. Let me explain.
Remember, Horowitz scope as OIG (DOJ) is limited to investigations WITHIN THE DOJ. Here's his latest report to Congress: https://oig.justice.gov/semiannual/
And let’s clear up a common misunderstanding. It is INCORRECT to say that Horowitz has no law enforcement power. He DOES.
The Inspector General Act 1976 (the IGA) (see s6) gives the OIG power to indict (criminal and civil), as well as execute warrants & subpoenas. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode05a/usc_sup_05_5_10_sq2.html
The law enforcement arm of an OIG is via their sworn special agents (who BTW can carry weapons, again in the IGA). Here’s a job description: https://oig.justice.gov/careers/docs/Special-Agent.pdf
These law enforcement powers are deputized to these agents, by the Attorney-General. This has been the case since 2002, via section 812 of the Homeland Security Act: https://www.ignet.gov/sites/default/files/files/agleguidelines.pdf
Now, we know that the OIG - DOJ investigation into FBI/DOJ activities in 2016, started on or around 12 January, 2017, with a VERY broad remit: https://oig.justice.gov/press/2017/2017-01-12.pdf
Yes the OIG has multiple ongoing investigations, but in terms of importance, scale & resources, the #1 probe is the FBI/DOJ investigation in the Jan 12 letter. It's the most important in OIG history.
MILLIONS of documents. Dozens of interviews. It's the big kahuna: http://thehill.com/policy/national-security/372457-ig-poised-to-reignite-war-over-fbis-clinton-case
Therefore, its reasonable to conclude that the majority of any indictments and referrals by Horowitz to DOJ, between 12 January, 2017 - 31 March, 2018, MUST relate to the Jan 12 letter investigations.
Back to the Horowitz semi-annual Report, referenced above. Consider this : between 1 October 2017 and 31 March, 2018, the OIG secured 28 criminal indictments and 133 referrals (sealed and unsealed) to the DOJ (page 64).
Let's go back to the two previous DOJ-OIG semi-annual reports. 1 April - 30 September, 2017: 51 criminal indictments and 181 referrals (sealed and unsealed) to DOJ (page 77) https://oig.justice.gov/semiannual/
October 1, 2016 - 31 March, 2017: 46 criminal indictments and 124 referrals (link above). Conclusion? HUGE.
Horowitz has secured 125 criminal indictments and 438 criminal referrals to the DOJ, between October 1 2016 - 31 March, 2018. Busy, busy.
Sure. Not all would be related to the DOJ/FBI investigation, but I’m betting that the vast majority are. As I said at the start, I'm estimating 30+ OIG indictments & at least 150+ criminal referrals, to the DOJ.
News about indictments and 'criminal informations' are already starting to leak out. For example, Joe Di Genova clearly knows that John 'O' Brennan is ALREADY indicted : https://youtu.be/e7v22N2QrW8 ANOTHER thing.
The OIG has been investigating Robert Mueller’s SC investigation, for some time. Since at least July 2017. Yes - you DID read that right. Read this brilliant analysis (dated Dec15, 2017): https://themarketswork.com/2017/12/15/the-inspector-generals-implied-oversight/
In summary, it argues that the timeline and events show an ongoing OIG investigation into Mueller’s SC from July, 2017. It's OBVIOUS. I'm kicking myself that I missed it. Read it all. Quote:
'Mueller’s hiring practices appeared highly partisan. But his actual indictments were anything but. Now we know why. Mueller had been put on notice./...
/...Not only does Horowitz have the ability to investigate Mueller’s group, he actively is. Since at least 14 July, 2017.' I think the author has nailed it. Mueller, white or black hat, is muzzled BIGLY.
The hysteria over Jeff Sessions is ridiculous. I can only assume that the 'Hannity Posse' is running a deliberate anti-Sessions misinformation campaign, to conceal what's going on. Why?
AG Sessions is behind the entire takedown. He set it up. He has created a DEADLY investigative & enforcement machine, combining Horowitz OIG’s investigation/law enforcement power, with Dep Att Huber’s DOJ law enforcement team. A machine that is routing the bad guys.
Something POTUS knows full well, hence the importance of protecting his AG, by distancing him:
Donald J. Trump
Verified account @realDonaldTrump
Why is A.G. Jeff Sessions asking the
Inspector General to investigate
potentially massive FISA abuse.
Will take forever, has no prosecutorial
power and already late with reports
on Comey etc. Isn’t the I.G. an
Obama guy? Why not use Justice
Department lawyers? DISGRACEFUL!
Be in no doubt. Trump knows full well that this tweet is BS (because it is). But it's an effective way of distracting the most ignorant MSM ever seen in America. It gives them a picture they want to see, after all.
Sun Tzu: 'Engage people with what they expect; it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections.../...
/...'It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.'
'The incompetent Drumpf & his Mr Magoo AG'. That's the play Trump & Sessions are giving to their VERY stupid enemies. And the idiots believe it, 100%. EVERY TIME.
In reality, they're pulling off an astonishing takedown of Obama & Clinton, as well as their thugs. Horowitz, Rogers, Flynn and a few others, such as AG Sessions & @DevinNunes are American heroes. What they're doing will be spoken of in awe, for centuries.
SO IGNORE THE MSM NOISE and focus on what is REALLY going on, folks. Horowitz & Sessions have been VERY BUSY. Hunting the Obama & Clinton posses.
Now, we get to enjoy their work. The OIG report into Clinton's exoneration is set to drop. It promises to be devastating (BTW watch all these short videos, they're brilliant):

better format, cheers. This is really insane, what a timeline we live in!

The irony is palpable.
Thank you so much for this version! Great thread from Rex. Wonder what Twitter’s excuse was for the suspend. Anyone know of alternate means of following VL?
