The Department of Justice (DOJ) has asked its inspector general to look into whether or not the FBI surveilled President Trump's campaign for "inappropriate purposes."
“If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action," Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein said in a statement.
DOJ spokeswoman Sarah Isgur Flores said in a separate statement that "the Inspector General will consult with the appropriate U.S. Attorney if there is any evidence of potential criminal conduct."
The expanded probe, she said, will "include determining whether there was any impropriety or political motivation in how the FBI conducted its counterintelligence investigation of persons suspected of involvement with the Russian agents who interfered in the 2016 presidential election."

Uh... “Inappropriate”, or “Illegal”. One or the other, which one?
No. This is not the swamp investigating itself. Sessions has put it into the capable hands of the DOJ IG, who will turn it over for prosecution to US Attorney Huber in Utah. Sessions did this to get it out of the swamp.

It’s not happening.
Notice the wording. He’s saying there might have been a reason to spy on the campaign.

Horowitz finished the fbi/clinton report. it should be made public soon. All the bad players in the report get to read their part and submit a rebuttal of some sort. I have more respect for Horowitz, than the who DOJ.
Let’s see who pulls the fast one...
There is a reason rod rose stein was so eager to appoint someone....there is no way you will ever prove political intent
It’s a stall. IG whether good or bad take a long time and are easily stalled on information. Most IG investigations are black holes by design.
good catch!
It’s anti-Trump elhombre! Still out to get Trump I see.
lol..
Yes it is. I don’t need Rosenstein to get indicted to see the swamp is draining and these people are becoming very desperate. It’s becoming inordinately clear.
