In a recent statement, Logan said the system operates through the Council of the Inspectors General on Integrity and Efficiency, known as CIGIE, which she notes was created during the Obama administration with bipartisan support.
Logan framed her remarks around a central question about how large and complex government operations can appear unified in suppressing information or advancing particular investigations.
“But there’s always this question of who’s behind it all, what’s the they because when you learn you know, when you learn about warfare, you learn about genocide, you learn about all these things, you begin to recognize that there are systems of command and control that have to be running these things for them to work,” Logan said.
She argued that coordinated actions across agencies require an overarching structure.
“Like how do you get all these different agencies to work together to suppress the truth. Well, you need a command and control system, because the command and control system that has been shutting down all of these things that we have seen, whether it’s fast and furious under Eric Holder, or it’s the IRS persecuting Christian and conservative organizations, or it’s the Russia collusion investigation that goes nowhere, or it’s the Ukraine impeachment trial.”
Logan asserted that the coordination she described is tied to CIGIE.
“These operations are being run out of an organization called the Council for the inspectors general on Integrity and Efficiency that was created under Barack Obama in 2008 and by the way, his partner in creating that, in having this brought into law, was none other than Chuck Grassley on the other side of the aisle, and then it was supported, you know, by people on both sides of the aisle. So they created this council which is in charge of the inspectors general.”
She questioned why more federal officials have not publicly resisted what she describes as systemic pressure.
“So what has been happening? You know, a lot of us are asking ourselves, why is there no one that’s willing to stand up in the federal government. We do hear about whistleblowers from time to time, but by and large, these people have been able to weaponize these agencies and walk all over the American people and commit crimes against the American people and get away with it.”
Logan also pointed to symbolic gestures she believes send signals to agency watchdogs.
“They do things like they have an annual gathering every year. Who do they have as their guest of honor? Not so long ago, they had Anthony Fauci. Well, what are they doing there? They’re sending a message to all of the inspector generals in like the National Institutes of Health, for example, and beyond, don’t touch this guy. He’s a made man. He belongs to us.”
She said the system has the ability both to initiate and to block investigations.
“And so what they do is, it’s not they investigate what they want to, such as when they, you know, they went after Donald Trump for Russia collusion, right? So when they want to do an investigation to reinforce an operation or a false narrative or to take out their political rivals, they have the power to do that. And when they don’t want something to be investigated or they want that investigation to die on the vine, they’re able to do that too.”
Logan emphasized her concerns about whistleblowers, arguing that even those with legal protections face internal obstacles.
“And then when you have people who are retaliated against whistleblowers who have legal protections against them. Well, where do they go? They all it all ends up in this clearing house of the inspectors general, where they have the ability to control whatever they want.”
