While acknowledging that Horowitz is widely respected, these critics say his work has long been hampered by biases, conflicts and a tendency to play favorites, as in past probes of former FBI Director James Comey, whom Horowitz worked under in New York.
Their main complaint is that he pulls his punches.
Horowitz’s investigation of the FBI's handling of the Hillary Clinton email case, for example, concluded that many of Comey’s explanations for his dubious actions were “unconvincing," while stopping short of saying that Comey lied to investigators. Comey asserted implausibly that he delayed acting on a mountain of new Clinton email evidence discovered on a laptop in New York because he was never briefed about it until nearly a month after his top aides found out about it in September 2016.
In probing whether Comey illegally leaked classified information to the New York Times, Horowitz in the end accepted his argument that the memo of a conversation with President Trump was sensitive but “not classified” – even though the memo contained information about the FBI's ongoing counterintelligence investigation of the president’s national security adviser.
“I see a pattern of him pulling up short and trying to be a bit of a statesman instead of making the hard calls,” said Chris Swecker, a 24-year veteran of the FBI who served as assistant director of its criminal investigative division, where he oversaw public corruption cases.

All waiting for his report was will turn out to be just a big stall.
I’m sure he has as much untouchable honor as every other swamp rat in The Swamp.

This was obvious, and then some.

Horowitz is compromised? Shocked, shocked I say. Never could have seen that coming based on his awesome reports and incredible results therefrom.
At the bottom of the very long article -
So far there have been few serious consequences for department big shots from Horowitz’s findings, even for McCabe. Trump supporters hanging their hopes on “straight-shooter” Horowitz getting to the bottom of alleged FBI surveillance abuses during the 2016 election could be disappointed.
Even if he does produce a tough report, it’s not likely to stay that way, department insiders say. They expect it to be watered down especially after Comey, Strzok, McCabe, Page and other officials mentioned in it get their own chance to make changes, reviewing it for “accuracy.”
Swecker says he’s already given up on Horowitz holding dirty agents accountable and is putting stock in prosecutor Durham’s wider probe into Trump-Russia’s origins.
“Durham is serious,” the former FBI official said, “and he has indictment authority.”
Sounds like Durham is either our last hope or football #27

“tough and fair”
Phooey
I want mean, vicious, and unfair.
I can’t even tell what column this goes in. 4 to 6 weeks. Four to six months. Any day now. Are they creating new categories?
The guy’s a joke, a political fixer smoothing over all the misdeeds that would put ordinary people in a cell.
He’s the chief cover up artist for the permanent aristocracy: the “deep state”.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Idiot

People waiting on the “Horowitz report” to be the shot that finally takes out the deep state types are going to be disappointed yet again. The guy’s just not going to drop the bomb on all his buds and the people who are going to line him up with sweet post-federal-service remuneration. Just not gonna happen.
It really is beginning to look like the swamp is thriving, despite Trump...maybe because of him.
DJT is likely to need some help getting this ship of state back under control.
Just sayin’...
Even longer. More leads to follow in the Ukraine deal.
Horowitz is a Dem and was appointed by Obama...….just sayin’.
It’s like stage four cancer.
He shoulda fired everyone from obama that he coulda have day one. That is his biggest mistake.
Troll thread, post at risk of being infected by Never Trumpers and shadow trolls
same old model same old posters and their minions
Please do something as I am losing sleep and want all of this to just go away!!!!
Children
I want what I want now and if they do not do what I want I am gonna stomp my feet and pout
Well Bye!
I’m going for football #28, after Bagpipes tells us his tale of folklore.
