Findings of Misconduct by Three then Senior DOJ Officials for Violating the Department’s Confidentiality and
Media Contacts Policy; and by one of these Senior Officials for Violating the Department’s Social Media Policy
The Department of Justice (DOJ) Office of the Inspector General (OIG) initiated an investigation after receiving allegations
that actions by a litigating division were politically motivated and violated DOJ policies regarding disclosing information
about ongoing matters.
The OIG investigation found that three then Senior DOJ Officials violated DOJ’s Confidentiality and Media Contacts
Policy by leaking to select reporters, days before an election, non-public DOJ investigative information regarding
ongoing DOJ investigative matters, resulting in the publication of two news articles that included the non-public DOJ
investigative information. The OIG investigation also found that one of these three then Senior DOJ Officials violated the
Confidentiality and Media Contacts Policy and DOJ’s Social Media Policy by reposting through a DOJ social media account
links to the news articles.
The three Senior DOJ Officials were not employed by DOJ when the OIG contacted them for interviews and either
declined or did not respond to the OIG’s interview requests. The OIG has the authority to compel testimony from
current DOJ employees upon informing them that their statements will not be used to incriminate them in a criminal
proceeding. The OIG does not have the authority to compel or subpoena testimony from former DOJ employees.
The OIG has completed its investigation and provided its report to the Office of the Deputy Attorney General and,
because the report contained misconduct findings against attorneys, provided its report to the Professional Misconduct
Review Unit for appropriate action.
The OIG also provided its report to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which has exclusive jurisdiction to investigate
alleged Hatch Act violations, for its consideration of whether the conduct of these officials violated the Hatch Act.
Unless otherwise noted, the OIG applies the preponderance of the evidence standard in determining whether DOJ
personnel have committed misconduct.
The OIG also provided its report to the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, which has exclusive jurisdiction to investigate alleged Hatch Act violations, for its consideration of whether the conduct of these officials violated the Hatch Act
Note these three DOJ officials violated DOJ POLICY... They are now gone. The only real punishment that can given is exposure to keep them from getting other high level jobs within the DOJ.

Thanks for putting that out there.
Kim bondi, there are three targets for you.
Pam Bondi.
Kim is one of the media darlings.
Amen.
Turn about is fair play
They are not able to be prosecuted because they left.
They don’t have to be prosecuted, if there names and info were accidentally leaked as they do, things happen.
Hard to use that job on their resume. Too bad
Howls. I got you!
Let's see how this plays out.
I will wait.
If they had been Republicans their names would have been mentioned!
Of course.
