The Level of Reporting We've Come to Expect

Three brief mentions in the OIG's Semiannual Report to Congress on DOJ:

There also are several significant ongoing reviews underway, including the investigation into the gun trafficking operation known as Operation Fast and Furious and the review of the enforcement of civil rights laws by the Voting Section of the Department’s Civil Rights Division. I am committed to prioritizing these reviews and overseeing their timely completion.

Yeah, well, don't let me hurry you...

Ongoing Work The OIG continues its important ongoing work, including the following audits, evaluations, inspections, and special reviews: • The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ (ATF) firearms trafficking investigation known as Operation Fast and Furious, and other investigations with similar objectives, methods, and strategies.

Huh. Nothing in there about whether or not any crimes were committed, or if there is any curiosity that some might have been.  Hey Darrell, make sure you ask 'em for their work papers.

Operation Fast and Furious and Similar Firearms Trafficking Investigations The OIG is reviewing ATF’s firearms trafficking investigation known as Operation Fast and Furious, and other investigations with similar objectives, methods, and strategies. The review is examining the development and implementation of the investigations; the involvement of the Department (including ATF, the Criminal Division, and USAOs) and other law enforcement or government entities in the investigations; the guidelines and other internal controls in place and compliance with those controls during the investigations; and the investigative outcomes.

Well, that certainly tells us a lot more than Point Two...It's almost like new Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz was a Lanny Breuer crony or somethin'...
