DOJ IG Report Has 104 Criminal Or Admin Investigations Of Misconduct By FBI Employees
(Gateway Pundit) – Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has over 100 criminal or administrative investigations of alleged misconduct related to FBI employees, according to a leak to investigative reporter Paul Sperry.
“The criminal investigations involve serious allegations of official misconduct,” Paul Sperry said on Thursday.
BREAKING: Justice IG Horowitz has 104 criminal or administrative investigations of alleged misconduct related to FBI employees open as of Sept. 30, according to new OIG report. The criminal investigations involve "serious allegations of official misconduct."

Michael Horowitz is expected to release his much-anticipated report on FISA abuses on December 9 and so far all we have seen are leaks to the media.
We know that Horowitz, an Obama-appointee, did find that FBI lawyer Kevin Clinesmith who text messaged “viva le resistance” altered an email in connection with Carter Page’s FISA application.
Mr. Clinesmith is facing a criminal investigation for altering a document related to the Page wiretaps.
US Attorney from Connecticut John Durham is currently conducting his own criminal investigation into the origins of Russiagate and unlike Horowitz, Durham has the power to indict and impanel a grand jury.
Horowitz is scheduled to publicly testify about his FISA abuse report to the Senate Judiciary Committee on December 11.
UPDATE ON THIS STORY: Paul Sperry’s tweet re 104 criminal investigations is NOT — REPEAT NOT — a “leak” from incoming OIG Report. That figure comes directly from the OIG website. Specifically, on page 15 of the Semiannual Report to Congress for April 1, 2019 to Sept. 30, 2019, which was released on Nov. 27, 2019 on the OIG website.
During this semi-annual period, OIG received 642 complaints involving the FBI; OIG opened 12 investigations and referred 71 allegations back to FBI for action. In addition, as of Sept. 30, 2019, the OIG indeed did have 104 open criminal or administrative investigations of misconduct related to FBI employees. Some of these involve serious allegations of Official Misconduct.
Looks like 48 of the OIG opened during the semi-annual period were related to “Official Misconduct” (See page 4 of the report), and EIGHT “Official Misconduct” cases were opened by the FBI for the semi-annual period (See page 15 of the report).
The report DOES NOT SAY how many of the these open matters, if any, relate to the incoming on Monday OIG report on FISA abuse. We wouldn’t be surprised if several of them DO related to the incoming report.
