.@DevinNunes , @Jim_Jordan , @RepMarkMeadows @JusticeOIG Here's the evidence for a clear investigative referral of the Mueller Team.

Buzzfeed News gives specific details of a Mueller Team leak to them (and others). Including the leaking of copies of FBI investigative notes (FD-302 reports) taken during questioning of Michael Cohen. buzzfeednews.com/article/bensmi…

This is of particular importance to @JusticeOIG given the nature of a pre-existing investigation of FBI contacts with media.

Leaking an FBI 302 to a reporter is big time crime. Multiple charging 18USC statutes depending on circumstances.

Recall @JusticeOIG Michael Horowitz saying maybe 50 FBI people had accepted improper press inducements (a leak predicate). And he knows their names, although those were not made public (held internally for OPR review).

.@OIG has proof from prior review FBI accepted sufficient stuff (expensive dinners, tickets…) According to 5 CFR 6701§503. Not more than $20/incident, not more than $50/year/person (all federal employees).

So @OIG can now trace who had access to this specific set if 302 documents and compare to prior list of DOJ/FBI officials identified as accepting improper gifts from media.

If the @OIG needs supplemental assistance gathering evidence for prosecution and/or referral, I'm sure we can find time to support. This one is a short investigation of considerable value.
