First, the story from the DailyBeast.com:
Justice Department May Probe Alleged Bergdahl Ransom Payment

The department’s top watchdog is considering whether to review allegations that the U.S. paid for the soldier’s freedom, and what role the FBI played in his release.
The Justice Department’s top watchdog is considering whether to review the legality of any payments that the U.S. government may have made for the release of Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl and what role the FBI played in efforts to free the soldier from captivity in Pakistan, The Daily Beast has learned.
The department’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, wrote a letter to a member of Congress this month saying that he had opened a “preliminary inquiry” into the matter, which concerns allegations that the U.S. government paid a ransom for Bergdahl’s freedom, and that in February 2014 the FBI sent a representative to the border region of Afghanistan and Pakistan expecting Bergdahl to be released.
Anyone besides me think this is insanity inside of insanity? The DOJ investigating the FBI for a “payoff” involving Bergdahl?
This is Kabuki Theatre writ large.
Ask yourself: WHY would this occur?
Answer: because the FBI is considering the recommendation of an indictment against Hillary Clinton.
A “preliminary investigation” of the FBI on this ridiculous issue is a proverbial “shot across the bow” to FBI Director James Comey. Because a source indicates the FBI is going to ask for a Hillary indictment.
Wheels within wheels.
This is DC insanity.

This is the continuation of a series of posts dealing with issues where some individuals in the United States government are attempting to hold at least a portion of the rest of the federal government accountable and responsible for its actions and inactions. The public displays we find, however, are not unlike the most bizarre of Kabuki Theater or Theater of the Absurd.
