Reply to comment by randomnighmare in AP sources: Justice Dept. watchdog probing US Attorney Rachael Rollins by EgonEggnog

I can't help but wonder if the investigation itself is political. Horowitz is a joke honestly. He is a Republican who has Been and still is a Trump supporter. This quote here: "The inspector general’s office is focusing on Rollins’ attendance at the Democratic National Committee event in July as well as her use of her personal cellphone to conduct official business, according to two people briefed on the investigation, which has been underway for weeks." She's a Democrat supporting other Drmocratic candidates. Seems he's nit picking a trip she took that someone paid for.

But none of that indicates that Horowitz is a joke, or that he’s politically motivated - I commented more extensively above, but he seems like a pretty by the book/down the line civil servant.

What IS likely political is that someone was clearly keeping a very close eye on Rollins’s comings and goings, and reporting any hint of impropriety to his office. He doesn’t have much option but to follow up on that stuff - it’s clearly petty bullshit, but ignoring it would be a political call.
