Attorney General Jeff Sessions said Tuesday the inspector general of the Department of Justice will probe allegations of government surveillance abuse, in light of the memos released on Capitol Hill about FBI and DOJ efforts to obtain FISA warrants to surveil a Trump campaign adviser.
“We believe the Department of Justice must adhere to the high standards in the FISA court,” Sessions said during a news conference Tuesday. “Yes it will be investigated. And I think that's just the appropriate thing the inspector general will take, as one of the matters he'll deal with.”
“Let me tell you, every FISA warrant based on facts submitted to that court have to be accurate,” he said. “That will be investigated and looked at, and we are not going to participate at the Department of Justice in providing anything less than the proper disclosure to the court before they issue a FISA warrant.”
The involvement of the inspector general is significant. Over the last year, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz has been conducting a review of the FBI and DOJ’s actions related to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. A final report on the investigation is expected within a few weeks.

Yup, but I don't think Obama weaponized federal agencies against US citizens. So some context is in order.
Anything you heard about the Obama administration that's bad, THAT'S ALL FAKE NEWS. A HOAX.

Context? okay let's go with that, so Sessions has never pressurized the FBI himself then?
Never mind that Sessions is more than a little dirty elsewhere himself..pot calling the kettle black you could say.
