Yesterday, the Department of Justice IG Michael Horowitz testified before Chuck Grassley’s Senate Judiciary Committee. A few interesting points came out of that. First, we know that James Comey is the subject of an investigation into his leaking of classified information. We know that there is a grand jury sitting for some reason because the materials in the IG report were reviewed for grand jury testimony.

We know that the IG, despite his finding of no bias:

Inspector General Horowitz just essentially said his office believes Peter Strzok and gang joined the Special Counsel investigation because of their bias against Trump

Today, he’s in front of Trey Gowdy’s Government Accountability Committee and some really good stuff is coming out.

The IG is examining Strzok’s role in moving the Russia probe forward. Prediction: nothing comes of this because the damage it would do to the FBI and to Justice was would be astronomical if it were shown that the investigation was launched from political motives. And the issue of the Deep State would begin to look a lot more Third world than we’d like to think.

IG Michael Horowitz has confirmed, under oath, that he is reviewing if FBI’s agent Peter Strzok's anti-Trump bias impacted launch of the Russia probe…..Note: Strzok is still employed by the FBI with Director Christopher Wray’s approval.

Two of the three FBI agents whose anti-Trump texts are quoted in the IG investigation are still working on the Mueller investigation.

UPDATE: Apparently the @wiredsources tweet Donald Trump, Jr., responded to was incorrect and has been deleted. Those two agents were on the Mueller team and have been removed:

Over fifty FBI agents accepted (collectively, I think, not individually) over 300 illegal gifts or gratuities from reporters/producers:
