I believe Judiciary & Oversight are preparing for a hot summer.

So, if you are in need of brushing up, now, or sometime in the future, below, I have provided a series of links on a few of the summer events....just a few, because the ball is in the U.S. Attorney's Court and I am just siting here, with Cocktails & Popcorn, patiently awaiting for the volley.

You can always generate your own reading refresher list of links by using the search function on the blog "go find it".

My blog is a blockchain model, or rather in its the initial stages.

It is going to be a hot summer in Detroit.

Enjoy.

Justice Dept. IG, key FBI officials slated for Capitol Hill appearances as Clinton email report looms

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is slated to testify before congressional committees next month, presumably after the release of his long-awaited report on the FBI's Hillary Clinton investigation during the 2016 presidential campaign, Fox News has learned.

Both the Senate Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight Committee are preparing to have Horowitz appear before them in early June, according to a congressional source.

On Tuesday, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, said his committee would hold a hearing titled “Examining the Inspector General’s First Report on Justice Department Decisions Regarding the 2016 Presidential Election” on June 5.

In June, House Republicans also plan to interview three FBI officials linked to the agency’s handling of the Clinton email probe, part of an ongoing joint investigation by the House Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform committees

To be interviewed are: Bill Priestap, assistant director of the FBI’s counterintelligence division; Michael Steinbach, former head of the agency’s national security division; and Steinbach’s predecessor, John Giacalone.

The Priestap, Steinbach and Giacalone interviews were first reported last week by The Hill.
Priestap, who oversaw both the Clinton email and Russia probes, is scheduled for a closed-door hearing on June 5. Priestap was the boss of FBI official Peter Strzok, whose anti-Trump texts with a fellow agency employee have been probed by congressional investigators.

Priestap's appearance comes as messages between Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page are drawing fresh scrutiny because they indicate Priestap went to London two weeks before the FBI officially opened its investigation into Russia meddling in the election. A congressional source questioned to Fox News whether the trip was connected.

In a text on May 4, 2016, Strzok referenced how “Bill” is getting “back from London next week."
For more than a year, Horowitz has been reviewing FBI and DOJ actions related to the  investigation of Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state under President Barack Obama.

Earlier this month, Horowitz announced that a draft report of his Clinton investigation review had been completed. He did not say when the results of the review would be officially released to the FBI, the DOJ and congressional committees.

Horowitz’s investigation has looked at a variety of allegations, including whether it was improper for former FBI Director James Comey to make a public announcement about not recommending prosecution concerning the Clinton email arrangement.
