Yes, it's old. It is also the source used by the OIG. But I don't guess you read the whole OIG report so you wouldn't know that.
Your article is old, why are you bothering to quote from it.

Speaking of Comey. Trump said he fired him because Russia, now says it wasn't because Russia?

What would be new is the propaganda turning out to be true and people who matter getting canned or arrested.
I sincerely doubt based on history and common sense 11 people are going to persuade the doj to do anything they aren't already doing and looking at.
I understand your skepticism. I see the letter as pressure to make sure these issues aren't swept under the rug as per the usual deep state M.O. And it does appear that the OIG and DOJ are already looking at all the matters listed.
As far as getting canned, demoted, or reassigned that has already happened at the very top of the FBI and looks to be one of the major clues that consequences are coming. OIG report #1 is encouragement as to that assessment.
The list so far: Comey, McCabe number 1 & 2 at FBI both fired, James Baker, Lisa Page, & Peter Strzok reassigned and kept on ice somewhere, Bruce Ohr demoted twice and known to have given testimony to someone other than Congress.
The information about Dana Boente being brought back is very interesting---especially in light of the history as regards these players and the charges.

Lol, right. Over an unrelated subject from the "witch hunt"
The Democrats like him. The Republicans like him. He made a recommendation, but regardless of recommendation I was going to fire Comey, knowing there was no good time to do it. And in fact, when I decided to just do it I said to myself, I said, you know, this Russia thing with Trump and Russia is a made-up story. It's an excuse by the Democrats having lost an election that they should have won.

When the American people (myself included) failed to draw their long knives and storm DC, burning the SOB to the ground and then salting the earth on the way out following the NSA wiretapping revelation, it was obvious that ship had sailed.

No. He said it was because of Russia.
