Input: DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz  told House Judiciary Democrats in a letter on Friday that the department did not consult  his  office before releasing text messages that are currently under OIG investigation to Congress and the press.
It is still unclear who authorized the decision  if not  Horowitz .
The Justice Department's inspector general   Michael Horowitz   told the House Judiciary Committee on Friday that  his  office (OIG) was not consulted before private text messages that are currently under OIG investigation were shared with members of the media on Tuesday.
 Horowitz  told the committee â which had asked  him  in a previous letter whether the DOJ consulted  his  office before releasing the texts â that  he  testified in November that the OIG "had no objection to the department providing to Congress pre-existing Department records in its custody in response to a Congressional oversight request."
 He  said  he  noted at the time "that the Department would need to determine whether there were any restrictions  such as those affecting grand-jury information  that limited its ability to produce certain records to Congress.
"I conveyed this position to the Department as well  " Horowitz  said. "The Department did not consult with the OIG in order to determine whether releasing the text messages met applicable ethical and legal standards before providing them to Congress."
In short   Horowitz  wrote  the DOJ "did not consult with the OIG before sharing the text messages with the press."
"IG had no objection to release to Congress. We then consulted senior career legal/ethics experts to determine there were no issues w releasing texts to either Congress or press  " Flores wrote. The OIG released another statement on Friday night that echoed the points  Horowitz  made in  his  letter.
But it is still unclear who authorized the decision  if not  Horowitz .
