As Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz finalizes his probe of allegations of abuses surrounding the surveillance of a Trump campaign aide, some colleagues and Republican lawmakers say they have no doubt he's conducted a tough, impartial investigation.
Horowitz's investigation of the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton email case, for example, concluded that many of Comey's explanations for his dubious actions were "Unconvincing," while stopping short of saying that Comey lied to investigators.
Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz: a record of pulling punches.
In a report echoing the FBI's determination that Hillary Clinton had been "Extremely careless" but not "Grossly negligent" in her use of email, Horowitz essentially cleared the FBI agents of fixing the case for Clinton while still acknowledging several irregularities in the email probe.
The FBI's general counsel told Horowitz he thought McCabe should have recused himself from the Clinton cases.
In 2011, Obama tapped Horowitz to serve as the department's top internal watchdog under Holder, then the attorney general.
Horowitz absolved Holder of wrong-doing in his investigation even though Congress implicated Holder and held him in contempt for refusing to turn over some 75,000 documents and cooperate in its investigation.
