They got caught and will not be releasing the report. We know two things from this story - the DOJ is colluding with the Democrats and Cummings, instead of doing anything close to an "independent" investigation .... AND ..... that they have "certain journalists" that they can trust to "spin the story".

There are also stories that the DOJ is going after the Inspector General for the IRS. The House Judiciary Committee had a hearing yesterday with the Inspector Generals - the testimony was about how the DOJ is impeding Investigations and refusing access to records.

Transcript of Testimony to the House Judiciary Committee on Inspector General access.

First and foremost, this process is inconsistent with the clear mandate of Section 6(a) of the IG Act. The Attorney General and Deputy Attorney General should not have to order Department components to provide us with access to records that the Congress has already made it clear in the IG Act that we are entitled to review. Second, requiring the OIG to have to obtain the permission of Department leadership in order to review agency records compromises our independence. The IG Act expressly provides that an independent Inspector General should decide whether documents are relevant to an OIG’s work; however, the current process at the Department instead places that decision and authority in the leadership of the agency that is being subjected to our oversight. Third, the need for the OIG to elevate matters such as these to the Department’s leadership results in delays to our audits and reviews, consumes an inordinate amount of OIG staff time and my time, as well as time from the Attorney General’s and Deputy Attorney General’s busy schedules.

The DOJ, IRS, EPA and other Agencies and Departments are making the OIG (Office of Inspectors General) jump through a ton of hoops to try and delay investigations ... if not stop them totally. At the DOJ, the OIG has to actually go through the US Attorney General to get anything done at all. They have to explain what they want to inspect and why. Nothing "independent" about it when Holder had to sign off on everything.

We have the Attorney General of the United States that is STILL in Court in an attempt to fight a Lawsuit brought by Congress because he won't release Subpoenaed Materials. This Court case has gone on for years, the Judge has NOT agreed to drop it - Holder is under a Contempt Charge from Congress .... the actions today are no surprise from him or his office. He lies to Congress, and then lies to cover up the lies. He impedes and investigation other than an "investigation by himself or himself". He is a total disgrace and so are those that support his actions.
Criminal Malfeasance to sum it up and put an Obumbutt **** bow on top.

Anyone who thinks barry and elijah are "great men" tells us much about the kind of person they are and none of it's good.

Barack Obama, Eric Holder, and Elijah Cummings. Three of the most corrupt scumbags to ever grace the halls of DC.

I hope Democrats and black people are proud of what they have produced.

No doubt these "interested reporters" will be from the New York Times and Washington Post.

Liberals and Democrats are the scum and scourge of this nation.

Never convicted. But you knew that. Just hoping nobody would notice the lies.

To me, this is another step Obama's administration made towards being more corrupt than Nixon. I already think he's risen worse than Nixon, I just think he's climbing higher so it'll be a long time before anyone is more corrupt.

We can hope it'll be a long time, but whatever Democrat holds the office next will be MORE corrupt than Obama.

So we see you condone this underhanded business.
