Epstein & Horowitz: OIG Being Blocked from reviewing 2008 Epstein Sweetheart Deal ( pizzagate )

Let's hope this bill is passed. Allowing Horowitz to investigate how Epstein's sweetheart "deal of a lifetime" came to pass would undoubtedly open up a full scale criminal investigation regarding everyone involved.

Love how CNN spins preexisting lack of legal authority as "being blocked". I just posted a Bloomberg Law version of this story, which shows lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are pushing for a change in the law.

Think CNN provided a clue to the question of why Trump put Acosta on his cabinet, though:

In a letter responding to Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Florida Democrat, and other lawmakers, Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, said there were "important questions" about the resolution of the Epstein case, but lamented that allegations of misconduct relating to Justice Department attorneys' handling of litigation or legal decisions falls outside his purview.

I'll bet Trump set this up, just like he did with General Flynn, to get the evidence into the legal record.

Exactly... I think the precedent set by the Inspector General Access Act could be huge... that could very well be Pandora's Box that allows access to so many other crimes that were bypassed and swept under the rug.

Everyone is so focused on the BS RussiaGate case, they tend to forget about all of the sweetheart deals/blatant partisan ignorance that went totally under the radar.

Awans, HRC Email, Epstein, Menendez, DNC Primary rigging... etc.

Sooooo many "missed opps", but perhaps this "double whammy" is exactly what we need. Not only to hold the original perpetrators accountable but also to hold those responsible for violating procedures/failure to properly prosecute to task.

Fingers crossed.
