The IG has no power to do that. He can only refer the matter to a U.S. Attorney’s office — which would then have the power to convene a grand jury.

There needs to be specific legislation to make sure, going forward that the DOJ cannot do a cover up under the guise of “investigating itself.” There has to be the power to independently investigate the DOJ and that power has to be vested in some entity other than the DOJ itself. Otherwise, we invite continuation of the crap and sedition that’s going on as this is being written.
