This IG was appointed by Obama, now reports to Sessions. Holder and Obama crippled his efforts so Horowitz worked with congress and the other IGs to get the IG Empowerment Act passed so they can do their jobs. Their job is to investigate and report on allegations of misconduct by DOJ/FBI employees, the DOJ decides whether to prosecute. Today’s report is a step in a long process that lays the groundwork for further steps.
As much as FReepers may wish otherwise, it’s not a crime to be a crappy FBI agent. Despicable as they are, those who we’ve been reading about have the same presumption of innocence as anyone else. The laws are clear about what is legal and what is not and as the FBI Director said today, they are not going to compound their sins by repeating the same mistakes as are identified in the report. They are going to do it by the book.
Accepting a bribe is a crime. Showing the appearance of being on the take is an ethics issue. IAD is the dept that’s suppose that to watch this. I’m sick of hearing the rank and file is ok horsezhit. They are all in it or witnesses.
