I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of The Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Inspector General Michael Horowitz and Inspector General Michael Horowitz staff, however, The Inspector General investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of The Justice Department. The Inspector General investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while The Inspector General investigation is ongoing, last month we advised The Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report's conclusions as to predication and how the The FBI case was opened.
