I see the SPECULATION that Jeff has been beavering away WITH the OIG all along....
... has taken on a life of it's own The "speculation" is now taken as fact.. and a basis to build yet more layers of speculation.
Confirmation bias, based on an unsound foundation
That is the danger of speculating.....reality creep.... Intellectual Masturbation!!
McCabe Firing Shows Evidence of IG and Outside Prosecutor Working Together… This is NUTS!!!
Jeff has been adamant about his daft Recusal... he is NOT gonna be intentionally working in defiance of that recusal in secret? IF he was NOT adhering to his recusal... then there would be no need for all this White hats pretending to be black hats, and 3-D chess crap in the firsts place
Jeff could simply have done the job of AG, starting months ago, in the open.... ordered CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS which by now would have resulted in Indictments (or exonerations)
Jeff said.. just in an of-the-cuff reply to a Shannon Bream interview question... that he "had appointed a guy from DOJ outside Washington" to "look into matters" that had recently been raised in letter from Gowdy and Goodlatte ... The context was to look into whether or not a Special Counsel was warranted... the usual "avoid answering the question" you get from a politician. There was NO MENTION of this "guy" actually doing a proper criminal investigation himself.. subpoenaing documents, witnesses, empaneling a Grand Jury etc. It's at best just yet another friggin' "review"... with maybe a report out one day
From just that "throw-away line" by Sessions... the Mob has invented the narrative that a PROSECUTOR (with staff) is working in conjunction with Hotwowitz (and has been for months) to actually do CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS and prepare indictments. A VERY LONG STRETCH!!
What sleepy Jeff actually said to Shannon Bream was:I have appointed a person outside of Washington, many years in the Department of Justice to look at all the allegations that the House Judiciary Committee members sent to us; and we’re conducting that investigation.
Jeff said
A PERSON... not necessarily a "prosecutor" and there is no mention of subpoena powers, Grand Jury etc or any REAL criminal investigation.
Also Jeff clearly says he appointed him to
"look at allegations" that the Committee sent.. so it is SINCE the House committee sent the letter.. so very recent. This "person" has not been in place "all along"
I also note that mention of OIG report release is now "APRIL" Everybody has dropped the pretense of "March"... then March/April... it's now April... but I would add MAYBE... it could move on out to May or beyond. The Conservative fan-posters are like the classic frog in hot water... they dont even notice they are being boiled (fed BS about a mythical OIG report date that never arrives)
The evidence is real, the Indictments are Fake...
