Has anyone noticed that the estimated completion date and then revisions of that date for both the final IG report and special counsels completion seem closely alligned? 🤔

Remember when both were supposed to be wrapped up in November? Then January? Then Mar/April...now it's MAY, but still no idea?

Do you think the OIG is that bad at estimates, or just keeps unturning stones at the last minute?

I doubt it. Remember this, the IG got the green light to start investigating in January of 2017. He got full power and support upon sessions confirmation in March.

I noticed in the Strzok texts there started to be rumbles about the IG in March...

Also of note was the whole discussion about Strzok chatting with Aaron zelby about the Special Counsel investigation before it was even started...

Knowing now, Sessions disdain for appointing special counsels, do you think he realized exactly how he was railroaded by the whole special counsel appointment?

go back and read the Strzok texts, you will see his tone start to change after the SC was named.

Is it possible that the IG discovered evidence of a possible criminal conspiracy regarding the appointment of a special counsel?

If he did he had to refer it. And since RR appointed the SC it wasn't referred to him.

Is it possible they've been giving Mueller rope all this time?

Remember the very last tweet between Page and Strzok, "please don't ever text me again." June 25, 2017. Pretty sure that's when or both of them got an unpleasant talking to and told how their cooperation was going to work...

According to the IG Mueller was informed of the existence of "politically biased" Strzok/page texts on July 27, 2017.

Ironically that was one day after the predawn raid of Paul Manafort.

I believe letting Mueller know the IG knew about Strzok conduct was a warning shot.

Now here is the kicker...remember when the FBI and DOJ gave a ridiculous excuse about the 5months of texts were missing? 🤔

I believe the only reason they withheld that gap of texts from congress was because if they give it to congress then Mueller would know the contents of the texts as well.

They keep giving Mueller rope and he keeps hanging himself and others.

This is going to be good...
