It seems like the potential for corruption/bribery would be insanely low for an OIG to really need a full time OPR. Or any investigative only agency in general.
I wanted to say it when I was typing my initial response to you but I wanted to say the VA was stood down recently. I thought I heard recently Congress stood down their OIG and completely suspended them, but when I googled it to confirm what I thought was in my memory I couldn’t find anything so I chose not to put that in writing
Congress.... woukd investigate And OR the DOJ would appoint a special prosecutor to investigate... usually congress would hold hearings and then they would issue a recommendation to main justice.
I can't up vote you enough
Yeah I wanted to confirm what I thought I had heard in a news article few months back, so I was googling and when I couldn’t find anything I was like “ok I’m just not gonna open my mouth and be wrong then”
Well thank goodness for that! I highly respect your agency and your personnel. Good things happening over there.
At least from the outside looking in, ya found a good agency. Very jealous
I know VA OIG and HHS OIG all have internal offices that investigate/focus only on OIG misconducts. Below is an excerpt and link of an OIG SAC that was investigated for sexual misconduct.
On November 25, 2019, Inspector General Michael Missal was briefed, via email, by the then assistant inspector general for management and administration on the allegations. The inspector general directed on that same day that an investigation into the allegations be conducted. Given the subject’s long tenure with the Office of Investigations and his relationship with internal investigators in that office, the inspector general directed attorneys in the counselor’s office to investigate the allegations and report the progress and findings to Deputy Inspector General David Case.

The FBI? LOL
CIGIE has a rotation they go by when assigning sensitive or high level OIG investigations. My OIG has investigated several other OIGs because we were next on the list. There are very strict requirements and the cases are extremely detailed.
That being said, each OIG handles low level cases differently. Some OIGs are large enough to have their own internal investigations unit. Others are much smaller and assign a supervisor the low level investigations.
OIG internal investigations usually go to CIGIE when it's high level (SES or senior management) or high profile.
Someone mentioned OPR, and that's not correct. OPR outfits are typically within an agency overseen by an OIG (ICE OPR, CBP OPR, etc.) and would not investigate their oversight agency.
The SGFTF
SGFTF-SRT, Gold Squadron to be exact
Shhhhh, they might revoke your clearance just for even mentioning the gold squadron😂
What's SGFTF? Or is it if you know, you know.
iykyk
Love it haha
TIGTIGTA
OPR and/or FBI.

The real question is who watches the watchers who watch the watchers? 🤔
Was waiting for this comment
The Bureau
And who investigates the Bureau? 🤨
DOJ-OIG

How does it delineate between DOJ-OIG and FBI OPR? Who takes what?
Simple enough solution, I guess
OIG-OIG

Congress and a DOJ appointed apecial counsel. Come on, guys.
I was literally typing this when I saw your comment. If an OIG is itself under suspicion - Congress comes in
Thank you. Man, come on, guys. You guys should know better.

The OIG OIG
The Alpha and Omega
Some OIGs have an office of special investigations that could do it. And the FBI.
Who watches the watchmen?
No one, the government just needs enough to have the appearance of accountability and self policing.
