Michael Atkinson, IC IG who claimed an error-riddled report from a complainant with no first-hand info, was of “urgent concern” should never have been appointed by Trump.

As senior counsel in Obama DOJ in 2016-17, he worked directly with two officials... amgreatness.com/2019/09/30/ins…
involved in DOJ investigation into Trump campaign. John Carlin, Atkinson’s boss at DOJ NSD, facilitated the FISA on Carter Page, received regular updates from McCabe on collusion case.

Atkinson went to work for Carlin THE SAME MONTH Comey officially opened Crossfire Hurricane.
“In Sept 2016, Carlin moderated an NSD event that featured Comey, former AG Loretta Lynch, former CIA Director John Brennan and White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough. Carlin abruptly resigned shortly thereafter amid controversy related to his handling of FISA material.”
Guess who Carlin, the IC IGs former boss at DOJ, used to work for?

Robert Mueller.

Carlin was his chief of staff.

Atkinson said on at DOJ thru election and transition. Guess who else he worked for? Mary McCord, the NSD chief who accompanied Sally Yates to meet with Don McGahn just days after Inauguration Day to warn the White House that Mike Flynn might have violated the Logan Act.
Atkinson admitted in his Senate confirmation hearing he had no experience in the inspector general space? Why did Dan Coats recommend him?

And did Trump White House put an Obama-era DOJ lawyer as the watchdog in charge of a government sector that’s been trying to sabotage him?
