The Evidence is real, the Indictments are Fake...I still see people who think that that the OIG REPORT is being released (to the public) on January the 15th 2018.
This is not true. It never was true. I guess these people were told that by some Guru/seer that they worship/follow blindly, but it is wrong.
There has been an undertaking (by OIG) to supply documents to The Senate Judiciary committee by 15th January, but that's it! The only statement I have seen regarding the OIG REPORT itself, is that they "Aim" to finish the report by "March/April" 2018, but we all know such vague deadlines are typically exceeded, and even if the report is done by April there is no promise to make all, or even part, of it PUBLIC. When the alleged "1.2 million" documents are handed over to Senate Judiciary committee... even if they work at twice their normal speed.. it will take them months to read them, let alone have meetings about them, let alone make any recommendations based on them. And.. WTF are they going to recommend? Yet another SENATE inquiry? And another report? All reports are good for is supplying a reason for another report
Furthermore, many hysterical people on the "right" have convinced themselves that the OIG is engaged in a full Investigation of Crime and corruption... with all aspects fully investigated. Nothing could be further from the truth. The OIG (from last days of Obama Administration) embarked on an inquiry, a review of DOJ /FBI activity leading up to the 2016 election. It may or may not extend to activity since the election, but is is just a "Review" and not a a criminal investigation. I dont know what powers the OIG has to COMPEL people to testify, and to subpoena documents etc.. but I am sure it is way short of an official FBI criminal investigation, utilizing an empaneled Grand Jury to seek subpoenas, search warrants etc.
It is ludicrous, for instance, to imagine that the OIG is obtaining it's own FISA warrants
At best the OIG report will supply details of corruption the public already know about in general terms, and ranking officials in DOJ/FBI already know about in enough detail to warrant a Criminal Investigation, if not already issue indictments.The fact that they have not already issued indictments indicates that they do not have the will to do it. Jeff Sessions is AWOL.. or actively assisting in blocking criminal investigations. Maybe the BEST hope for a good outcome from OIG report is if it points to Jeff Sessions' complicity in the corruption. With Jeff Sessions fired/indicted and replace we can at least START the proper criminal investigation that should have been started a year ago.
