What will Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s latest investigation reveal? Will Congress hold hearings about it? Will former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe actually get indicted? (snip) There’s been no swift, public action that we know of on eight criminal referrals that two House Intelligence Committee Republicans, Reps. Devin Nunes of California and John Ratcliffe of Texas, sent to the Department of Justice more than five months ago. There’s no word of any action more than eight months after Sens. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) sent a criminal referral to the DOJ against Christopher Steele, author of the anti-Trump political opposition research “dossier.”

And here in lies the problem:
FTA: Of course, the complicating factor in the whole mess is that the government entities responsible for addressing any wrongdoing are the same ones inextricably tied to the alleged wrongdoing.

You should read the comments from the Hill comments section. Talk about deep state. They are out of their freaking minds.

Good article. But she failed to mention that we are dealing with Agencies that have no problem murdering Citizens in cold blood. Then using their Propaganda Arm the Media to justify their actions to the American People. She is right about that Sandwich and who is making it though. I have little confidence that anybody will be indicted for anything. Call me a cynic but I been around a while watching this Hive of Treacherous Filth we like to call a Government.

I don't want Congress to hold hearings on any of this. They are useless. I want the DOJ to investigate/indict!! The DOJ does not require a referral from Congress to do its job.

The Republicans control the Senate, and as they usually do with power, do nothing with it. Senator Graham has not had a single hearing on the matter in 3 years, and doesn't intend one, as the plan is to let the time run out. The only person in DC that does anything for the country is Trump. The House Freedom Caucus excepted to all the above, and deserving of praise.

This scandal has the very real potential to envelop everyone in Washington, which is a Never Trump Swamp that is resisting its drainage. The civics books say that we have a competitive two-party system that does its best for America and Americans, passing well considered laws, and upholding them. The civics books are poppycock.
If you haven't noticed, there is a mutual benefit to the powers that control national politics. As Ms Attkisson notes, "...tentacles run deep; ties cross administrations and party lines. The recent past provides little reason to think this behemoth can always be neutral when it comes to its own." She is too kind to suggest it is ever neutral when it comes to its own.
Our government today is a paragon of corruption, from top to bottom. It is politicized for fun and profit, which is what "politics" decides - who gets what, where and when. Trump is perhaps the lone straight man in DC. There are others, but their exception proves the rule.

I can only conclude Wray is still in cover-up mode and has convinced Barr to merely wait until the statute of limitation expires so all the perps are home free and the "country doesn't go into melt-down mode and never recover." Well, I for one, consider that BS. I want all the perps prosecuted and sent to jail so all this crime doesn't happen again or at least makes them think twice about it. Otherwise, the next time will be even worse. It's like the FBI and DOJ are handing out licenses to commit crimes.

Does anyone really expect the DOJ to investigate the DOJ?
