The delay in long overdue inspector general’s report, which we’re supposed to see next week, “signals criminal prosecution, says former Congressman Jason Chaffetz:
Delay in IG report on FISA abuses signals criminal prosecution, Jason Chaffetz says https://t.co/9ZuS91EiJg

Chaffetz made the comment to Sean Hannity on Friday:
“I don’t think it has anything to do with Horowitz delaying it, I think it’s the fact that Durham actually is moving forward on some prosecution,” Chaffetz told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Friday.
Along these lines, Sara Carter is reporting that the IG report will contain “at least two criminal referrals,” including one directed at former FBI Director James Comey:
Horowitz Report Will Be Damning. Criminal Referrals Likely:
“If it’s strong and comes out soon, the IG report will do some real damage to the Democrats’ impeachment charade….” -House Republicanhttps://t.co/1QVpq4hhLM

From her reporting:
The report will apparently have at least two criminal referrals, said two sources, with knowledge. One of those criminal referrals is expected to be Comey. However, the Inspector General’s office has not been providing comments on the report.
But Sen. Chuck Grassley just tweeted this out, which is interesting (to say the least). Why is he worried that the IG report will be delayed, yet again? What’s he hearing?
If FISA Inspector General Horowitz report doesn’t come out next week when they said it would then I will be very disappointed & left to wonder WHAT THE GAME IS?? Is someone at FBI or DOJ tying IGs hands??

Also, we won’t be surprised if it’s delayed — AGAIN:
Great question. Since April we've been treated to weekly news reports that the IG investigation will be released "next week." And it never is. Somebody is definitely playing games with the IG report. https://t.co/X9u3NBRrQM

Now, if only Sen. Grassley knew someone who could look into such a thing. . .
Well look into it

Because we’ve heard this again and again and again:
Why next week? It's been expected time after time and nothing…

We the people are sick of waiting.

Hopefully we find out next week like we were supposed to:
I pray the delay has been about evidence for prosecutions.
