Attorney General Jeff Sessions, FBI Spox and Office of DOJ Inspector General Release Statements
Conservative Treehouse, Dec 3, 2017, sundance

Did you know the DOJ has been investigating the FBI for 11 months…. wait, what?  Hold-up on the criticism folks.  Three important statements today from the DOJ, FBI and OIG indicate there have been ongoing investigations and reviews of conduct within the upper tiers of leadership within the Department of Justice and the FBI.

Given the nature of the leaked IG investigation to the Washington Post and New York times; surrounding apex investigator and deputy head of counterintelligence at the FBI Peter Strzok; and accepting the direct approach of President Trump in his tweets toward that revelation; and adding the layer of Intel Chairman Devin Nunes threatening to file ‘contempt of congress charges‘; there is every indication something is about to break – very soon.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement Saturday night that the allegations his department's inspector general uncovered, "if proven to be true, would raise serious questions of public trust. I look forward to receiving the Inspector General's report. We will ensure that anyone who works on any investigation in the Department of Justice does so objectively and free from bias or favoritism."

"My job is to restore confidence in the Department of Justice in all aspects of our work and I intend to do so," the statement added. "As such, I have directed that the FBI Director review the information available on this and other matters and promptly make any necessary changes to his management and investigative teams consistent with the highest professional standards."

The Justice Department has also agreed for Strzok to be interviewed by the House Intelligence Committee, according to a source familiar with the matter.
