This Legal Hole Could Be Bad News For Clinton Email Case Review
2017-01-14
[Daily Caller] Key Department of Justice (DOJ) officials may escape being interviewed in DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s review of the FBI’s investigation of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a home-brew email server to do official government business.

Inspectors General only have authority to compel current government employees to comply with interview requests under the Inspector General Act, so they are unable to force testimony from officials like Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Assistant Attorney General for Legislative Affairs Peter Kadzik once they leave office along with President Barack Obama, potentially leaving Horowitz to deal with gaping holes in his review.

"Once they’re gone, the IG has no jurisdiction over them," former U.S. Attorney Joe DiGenova told The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group.

Horowitz announced Thursday he is investigating whether DOJ and the FBI broke federal policy in handling the Clinton email investigation in the months leading up to the presidential election.

#8  I hope Obama doesn't so Trump can.

I think Trump's more likely to fuck with her like he did with Mitt Romney when he was being 'considered' for Secretary of State.

#6  #5 I hope Obama pardons her

Wouldn't she have to accept the pardon? I doubt that she would.

#5  I hope Obama pardons her, it's an admission of guilt without the trials that would make a martyr of her. Might be a clever way for him to look like a good guy while getting her out of the way during his post election career.

#2  "Once they’re gone, the IG has no jurisdiction over them,"
But I believe a Grand Jury does.
