A top official at Barack Obama’s Department of Justice lied to the inspector general Michael Horowitz about his role in tipping off Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta regarding details of the Clinton criminal investigations.

Peter Kadzik lied to the inspector general, which WikiLeaks points out is a criminal offense.

Will he be charged? I doubt it, seems like the left never gets in trouble.......laws are only what is used against the right

My husband’s brother is/was like that. Lied all the time with a straight face, but my husband was a rule follower. Guess who got believed and who got in trouble?

It is as if conservatives are the older siblings always getting trouble for the younger siblings’ screw ups and mom and dad Q public believe the liars.

a criminal offense

From my vantage point it seems nothing a liberal does in government is "illegal".

From the article, quoting the IG report:

"... Additionally, although Department leadership determined that Kadzik should be recused from Clinton related matters upon learning of his “Heads up” email to Podesta, we found that Kadzik failed to strictly adhere to this recusal. Lastly, because the government information in the “Heads up” email had in fact been released publically, we did not find that Kadzik released non-public information or misused his official position.”

That last sentence sounds like Comey saying Killary is not guilty.

Kadzik should be on trial for lying to the IG.

It’s not a crime unless he’s charged and convicted of a crime.

He's caught surreptitiously passing on details of the investigation to the target's top lieutenant and ordered to recuse himself but he ignored that and kept going. But hey, he didn't write "I am biased" so the IG can't be sure.

Since when does anyone believe that an Obama appointee is not lying?

[Political Junkie Too]

Isn't Paul Manafort now in solitary confinement in prison for tipping off a potential witness? It's amazing the advantages one can get if playing for the right team.

Oh it's a crime. It's not a conviction unless he is charged and convicted of a crime.
