ICIG Atkinson was Senior Counsel at DOJ-NSD when Carter Page FISA application was constructed.
The current Horowitz FISA investigation is an investigation of Atkinson and the DOJ-NSD small group along with FBI.
Why is no-one pointing out the inherent conflict of interest?

Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General of the National Security Division of the Department of Justice.
AAG John Carlin, then AAG Mary McCord.
AAG John Carlin, then AAG Mary McCord.
Ironically (or not) at the time Michael Atkinson was Senior Counsel to Carlin, then McCord, while the Carter Page FISA was constructed, the DOJ-NSD refused to allow any Inspector General oversight.
It was then AAG Mary McCord (Atkinson's boss) who went with DAG Sally Yates to the White House to discuss the Flynn FBI interview with White House Counsel Don McGahn.
So current ICIG Michael Atkinson was at the epicenter of the FISA construction and also the DOJ-NSD decisionmaking when Flynn became a subject of interest for Sally Yates and Mary McCord.
And ICIG Michael Atkinson is running to Adam Schiff and the HPSCI basement scif following an ethics complaint received by his office about the CIA 'whistle-blower'.
A complaint, sent to highly conflicted ICIG Atkinson, that outlines some seriously sketchy issues with the funding of CIA operative/whistleblower Eric Ciaramella.
It appears “Values United” is a laundry operation, established in coordination with lawyer Zaid, to fund the coup against President Trump. However, the issues start to take on significance when we overlay the background of ICIG Michael Atkinson.
Atkinson ignored legal guidance from both the director of national intelligence (DNI) and the Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel that highlighted Atkinson’s poor decision-making.
This makes the activity of ICIG Atkinson very questionable. What exactly is his purpose within this enterprise?
Given Atkinson’s background, it appears his prior work in 2016, during his tenure as the lead legal counsel for the DOJ-NSD, likely played a role in his decision.

Michael Atkinson was the lawyer for the same DOJ-NSD players who: (1) lied to the FISA court (Judge Rosemary Collyer) about the 80% non compliant NSA database abuse using FBI contractors:
And... (2) Atkinson was the Senior Legal Counsel for both John Carlin and Mary McCord when the DOJ-NSD filed the FISA application against Carter Page:
And... (3) Michael Atkinson was the DOJ-NSD Senior Legal Counsel when the department (without any inspector general oversight) was using sketchy FARA violations as tools for political surveillance and political targeting. 
In short, Michael Atkinson is the connection between all of the cited (corrupt) DOJ activity, and now -as the ICIG who assisted the whistleblower- Atkinson is facilitating the impeachment effort seemingly constructed to protect all the prior participants.
Which is enough to make a person wonder if Michael Atkinson wasn't chosen for the ICIG job specifically because those within the Deep State knew he would carry a self-preservation interest (and conflict) that would benefit their own interests. ??
You decide.
