A month and a half ago this happened:

The community of inspectors general across the federal government’s agencies and departments, through the Inspectors General Council, wrote a letter to the Justice Department Friday pushing back against the determination that the whistleblower complaint that launched the against President Trump was not an “urgent concern.” The council is an independent entity within the executive branch.

In August, the inspector general for the intelligence community determined that the whistleblower complaint about Mr. Trump’s July 25 call with the Ukrainian president was credible and an “urgent concern” that should be shared with Congress.

However, the Office of Legal Counsel in the Justice Department decided that the complaint did not constitute an “urgent concern,” arguing that the president is not a part of the national security community. The whistleblower’s complaint was not disseminated to Congress until September, after the White House released a memo summarizing the call. The inspectors general expressed concern about what might be seen as second-guessing whistleblowers.

“If intelligence community employees and contractors believe that independent IG determinations may be second guessed, effectively blocking the transmission of their concerns to Congress and raising questions about the protections afforded to them, they will lose confidence in this important reporting channel and their willingness to come forward with information will be chilled,” the letter from the inspectors general said.

So how long do you think until the IGs collectively weigh in on Barr and Durham’s openly seditious undermining of Horowitz’s truly independent investigation and report?

Horowitz reportedly asked Durham point blank if he had any proof of a conspiracy and Durham admitted he did not. So now, put yourself in Durham’s shoes, you’re out here in a position where you can’t put up and Barr and Trump just won’t shut up. You just got roped into a wacky adventure, promises were made, the cocaine was probably really good *you can’t remember* and the point is now this Horowitz guy is fucking up your good time with your new powerful crime pals. You’d talk shit about him too.
