Inspector General Michael Horowitz: I'm Expanding My Probe To Look Into FISA Abuse

Still not a special counsel who can drag people in front of a grand jury and indict them.

Personally, I see it as just another excuse for Snoozy Jeff to not appoint an actual special counsel.

On the other hand, Snoozy Jeff can prosecute based on information gathered by the IG, and this IG seems, from what we know so far, to be a diligent investigator. We'll have to see about that, though: We only have rumors that more is coming, and we don't know that his report won't wind up whitewashing most of this.
