A long-awaited U.S. Justice Department internal watchdog report on former FBI chief James Comey's public disclosures on Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server while secretary of state and whether FBI employees leaked information to try to hurt her 2016 presidential bid is expected to be issued next month.

The report from Michael Horowitz, the department's inspector general, arises from an investigation he launched about a week before Republican President Donald Trump, who defeated Democrat Clinton in the election, took office in January 2017.

In a letter last week to Republican Representative Trey Gowdy, chairman of the House of Representatives Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Horowitz said his office was "working diligently" to complete the report and expected to release it in May.

Horowitz's letter did not offer details of what will be in the report. In a Jan. 12, 2017 letter to five congressional committees, he enumerated 2016 election-related issues his office would look into.

Clinton has called the FBI investigation into her emails and Comey's public disclosures about it significant factors in her loss to Trump, who fired Comey as FBI director in May 2017.

The investigation will examine Comey's statements in August 2016 that no charges would be brought against Clinton and in October about the re-opening of the FBI investigation into her use of a private email server rather than a government server, potentially jeopardizing classified information.

The report also is expected to address whether active and retired FBI agents in New York leaked information about investigations of the Clinton Foundation charitable organization and the discovery of a trove of Clinton-related emails.

Law enforcement officials previously told Reuters the information was leaked to former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, an adviser to the Trump campaign who subsequently discussed the contents on Fox News.

Horowitz's office also has sought to determine whether such leaks influenced Comey's decision 11 days before the election to announce the reopening of the Clinton email investigation. Law enforcement sources with knowledge of the matter, speaking on condition of anonymity, said at the time a fear of leaks from within his own agency helped prompt Comey to make that public disclosure.

Comey did not respond to a request for comment.

Trump and Comey have exchanged harsh criticism in the past week. Trump called Comey a "slime ball." Comey called Trump an unethical liar who is morally unfit to be president.

Kushner Cos. Subpoenaed Over Tenant Records (WSJ)
Action relates to paperwork the company filed in New York about rent-regulated tenants

WASHINGTON—The real-estate company run by the family of White House adviser Jared Kushner in mid-March received a federal grand-jury subpoena for information related to paperwork the company filed in New York City concerning its rent-regulated tenants, according to people familiar with the matter.

The subpoena, part of an investigation by prosecutors in the Brooklyn U.S. attorney’s office, came shortly after an Associated Press article about the company having filed documents that said it had zero rent-regulated tenants, when in fact it had hundreds, an omission that relieved them of certain rules governing developers.

The Kushner Cos., where President Donald Trump’s son-in-law was chief executive before joining the administration, said at the time of the Associated Press article that the paperwork was done by a third party and that “if mistakes or violations are identified, corrective action is taken immediately.”

A spokeswoman for the company said Thursday that “Kushner Companies has nothing to hide and is cooperating fully with all legitimate requests for information, including this subpoena.” She added: “We believe that this subpoena, which has already been complied with, was issued based solely on an article that appeared in the press the day before it was issued.”

A spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, John Marzulli, said: “I can’t confirm or deny the existence of any subpoena or investigation.”

Wat een BS, alsof Giuliani even gaat bepalen wanneer het onderzoek afgelopen is. Het onderzoek is afgelopen als alle feiten boven tafel zijn en alle sporen uitgezocht zijn. Niet eerder.

Former FBI director James Comey said Thursday if he could “change time” so that Anthony Weiner had never “been born.”

Comey made the comment about the former New York representative during an interview with New Yorker editor David Remnick.

“If I could change time, Hillary Clinton wouldn’t have used a private email server,” he said, according to The New Yorker’s live tweets of the event. “Anthony Weiner certainly wouldn’t have a laptop — maybe wouldn’t have even been born.”

Trump heeft gelijk. Het is een witch hunt.

Hoe kan het een witch hunt zijn als hij geen target is?

Zijn criminele vrienden worden aangepakt en Trump reageert alsof hij zelf wordt aangepakt. Dat zegt genoeg over zijn betrokkenheid en pogingen om het onderzoek te saboteren.

Hoe zou een onwetend en onschuldig persoon zich gedragen wanneer blijkt dat je campagnemensen, familie en juridisch team zo moerassig als de pest zijn? Ik zou me verraden voelen door die zogenaamde vrienden. Trump voelt zich verraden door mensen die de waarheid achterhalen, openbaren en onderzoeken.
