The inspector general looking into the FBI and Justice Department’s handling of investigations during last year’s presidential election said Wednesday he hopes to have the probe done by next spring.
Michael Horowitz, the inspector general at the Justice Department, also said the investigation is moving quickly.
“We’ve interviewed dozens of people. We’re not at the hundreds yet, but we’re in the dozens range,” he told the House Oversight Committee, in response to questions by Chairman Trey Gowdy. Mr. Horowitz said they’d also reviewed 1.2 million records in the investigation.
He said they are aiming for a report to be done by March or April, though he said that timeline could slip if new issues pop up. He also said that with classified information involved — presumably in the form of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s emails — ex-government employees and their lawyers need to be re-checked for security clearances.
The inspector general is looking into whether the Justice Department’s policies were followed by then-FBI Director James B. Comey when he led the probe into Mrs. Clinton’s secret email account.

What a joke
ReplyDeleteThis is the dumbest thing I've heard so far! You'll get Comey when you take down the kingpins; The Clintons, Holder Lynch, Obama, and Aberdeen. They are all connected and all the players had their parts and helpers. Pedestal will fall into the pit as well, but keep digging Hillary's grave first!
