Justice Department spokesperson Sarah Isgur Flores said in a statement she shared with TPM:
The Department has asked the Inspector General to expand the ongoing review of the FISA application process to include determining whether there was any impropriety or political motivation in how the FBI conducted its counterintelligence investigation of persons suspected of involvement with the Russian agents who interfered in the 2016 presidential election. As always, the Inspector General will consult with the appropriate U.S. Attorney if there is any evidence of potential criminal conduct.
She added the following statement from Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein:
If anyone did infiltrate or surveil participants in a presidential campaign for inappropriate purposes, we need to know about it and take appropriate action.
The Justice Departments inspector general, Michael Horowitz, announced in March that he would probe the FBIs application for a surveillance warrant to suveil a member of Trumps campaign believed to be foreign policy adviser carter page.

Question about star membership
If I purchase star membership, does my personal info get stored on this site? The only reason I haven't so far is because of worry that the site will be hacked again. I can do paypal, if that is a safer way.
