WASHINGTON — The Justice Department's inspector general Thursday announced a wide-ranging review of the FBI's handling of its inquiry into former secretary of State Hillary Clinton's email use.
Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz said the review was prompted by requests from federal lawmakers and members of the public.
The internal inquiry will examine whether the Justice Department and FBI followed established "policies and procedures'' when FBI Director James Comey publicly announced that the bureau would not recommend criminal charges against then Democratic nominee Clinton related to her use of a private server while at the State Department.
The recommendation was quickly accepted by Attorney General Loretta Lynch, who had effectively ceded control of the inquiry to the FBI director after she met briefly with former president Bill Clinton prior to the conclusion of the investigation.

according to Judge Napolitano, after the investigation is complete it will be up to the AG (Jeff Sessions) on how to proceed.
