Fed law provides authority to Inspectors General to *audit* leaders of their agency.

That's why the last DOJ IG Report audited Comey, an FBI leader.

So what AG Barr is doing now is backwards -- he's claiming to audit the audit, disagreeing with DOJ's IG Report.
Second, Barr and Durham are not offering any public evidence to back up their disagreement with the DOJ IG Report, while it offers hundreds of pages of evidence.
Breaking now from AG Barr:

We still have to wait for a "full" investigation of the Russia investigation after this DOJ IG Investigation - the Durham investigation. Right now would be "premature" to make any judgment.
Remember, the IG audit *is* the legally authorized review of DOJ actions. Under law. And it's done.

Barr is adding his own process, saying he appointed a prosecutor to separately investigate the investigation, but a US Atty probe would typically be for crimes, not a DOJ audit.
Breaking: AG Barr says the court-approved surveillance of a Trump adviser was a "sham."
