It is looking like the truth about Matt Whitaker is up to the Congress. The Inspector General may not be able to come to a conclusion.

Considering Matt Whitaker was soon to leave the DOJ as Trump's Acting Attorney General, it may explain why he was so self-righteous and basically annoyed he had to answer questions before the Congressional panel.

It would seem that Congress has the only right to subpoena and bring testimony to the Inspector General.

There are more people affiliated with Trump that seeks any avenue available to avoid analysis and law enforcement. Is Whitaker the one that got away?

As a result, investigators may never learn whether President Trump attempted to enlist Whitaker in an effort to impede a federal criminal investigation into whether the president himself conspired to violate campaign finance laws. And Whitaker most likely will no longer be compelled to answer questions on a wide variety of other issues by investigators for the Justice Department he once headed. The department’s Inspector General has no authority to subpoena or require testimony from former officials, whereas those who still work for the department are subject to severe disciplinary measures if they refuse to cooperate with investigators, most often resulting in their immediate dismissal. By resigning, Whitaker most likely will have evaded the IG’s questioning.

The Inspector General is currently reviewing requests to the department from at least ten senators to investigate Whitaker’s conduct as acting attorney general....
