Having 500 Investigators and an unlimited budget would seem to clarify the IGs position. He is a political machine who keeps pushing back the date(s) to make more money. I would use the reasonableness test.does it take two years to make a Report? All evidence behind the report was turned over to Congress in Dec. 2017. So now after 3 full months we don’t have a written report. More BS and kicking the can down the road. The latest is, “should it be many small reports?”
What experience do you have with any departmental IGs?
Maybe there's more evidence for further firings that have to be reviewed by the Office of Public Responsibility first, and he doesn't want to, or can't spill the beans beforehand.
