Is this meeting over?
I assume the 3:00 time is EDST.
Precisely -the proper way to conduct such an investigation is via the IG.
In fact, the IG should’ve been investigating these issues from the start because they themselves uncovered much of the evidence as part of their other ongoing investigations
The reason the IG has not investigated these issues is largely because Obama era rules and restriction on IG authority put in place by Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, and Sally Yates essentially blocked the iG from investigation in those directions.
President Trump and probably Jeff Sessions are being scrupulous about two things.
The first strictly following all rules and procedures and going through all the ethics and procedural hoops in the DOJ Handbook.
Second, both Trump and Sessions have observed a strictly hands off approach on dealing with the DOJ and FBI to avoid the appearance of impropriety or abuse of power .
This is good policy when you intend to go after high level government officials for abuse of power and breaking government rules to avoid claims from the guilty that pot is calling the kettle black.
This has allowed Mueller's team and the Obama Era holdovers in DOJ and FBI to run so wild and unchecked that they have overplayed their hands by a huge margin.
Now it's Trumps turn and people are coming to the belated realization that Trump holds all the cards and that they work for Trump and that Trump ultimately has control of the process.
The Donald has never been one to shrink away from a fight and Trump is known to strike back with the speed of a Cobra when the timing is right and using overwhelming force when doing so.
I suspect that both Sessions and Wray will have last minute, death bed conversions and suddenly, with great reluctance, be “forced” by President Trump and the IG to pursue these issues with an amazing amount of determination and aggression
Trump is a genius at this kind of thing and it's very possible that this roll out is more carefully scripted and rolled out than a WWF Tag Team World Championship Pro Wrestling title bout.
