Rep. John Ratcliffe Says FISA Abuse Investigation Is Complete
Daily Caller ^ | 7/1/2019 | chuck ross

Posted on 07/02/2019 8:18:50 PM PDT by bitt

Texas Republican Rep. John Ratcliffe said Monday that the Justice Department inspector general has finished his investigation into whether the FBI abused the surveillance court system during its investigation of the Trump campaign.

In an interview on Fox News, Ratcliffe said that he met in June with the inspector general, Michael Horowitz, to discuss the timing, but not the content, of the release of the report.

“He related that his team’s investigative work is complete,” said Ratcliffe, a Republican member of the House Intelligence and House Judiciary Committees.

“They are now in the process of drafting the report. I would expect that it will be a draft that will be completed in short order.”

Ratcliffe said that he does not expect that the report will be made public “any time real soon,” though he is hopeful it will be released before Congress breaks for its August recess.

It takes a while to get just the right shade of white wash.

Need to get closer to the election or it will be forgotten and covered up like it never happened.

The Democrats have had a narrative that was specious, fabricated on the go, and FALSE.

Solomon et al., on the other hand, have a fact based narrative that was set in stone in the early 2017s thanks to verbal debriefing from Rogers and Flynn, is to be released piece by piece with the climax in October 2020, and completely true.

People may doubt this, but it’s blatantly obvious from the tit for tat trio of stories originating from Solomon, Carter, and a smattering of lesser reporters like Ross, Rosiak, etc. These hit their sites, are repeated by Hannity, Rush, Bongino, over and over, and then are retweeted by TrumpMedia©.

At first I was one of those who was frustrated, but it’s a very clearly orchestrated pattern set to cause information chaos (as in Dems dont know what’s coming next) primed right for the Dem primaries (designed to result in a contentious brokered convention), resulting in a horrific, woeful general.

Have fun!

Investigation upon endless investigations. Our government is a joke and the “justice” system resembles something out of the former Soviet Union.

Let me guess. It needs to be reviewed by the FBI, NSA, CIA, DOJ, and DNC before it can be released?

Horowitz is a fraud.

Toothless is letting Wray modify it now.

Anyone thinking Horowitz was going to bring Justice hasn’t been paying attention.

Before August would be relatively soon in my book but I’m not going to hold my breath.

Tony- we need to extract layers of these cretins. Hold hangings on the commons on pay per view. Then move the DOJ and FBI to Tulsa OK.

Thanks for that. This poster makes sense and I told him so. "The Democrats have had a narrative that was specious, fabricated on the go, and FALSE. Solomon et al., on the other hand, have a fact based narrative that was set in stone in the early 2017s thanks to verbal debriefing from Rogers and Flynn, is to be released piece by piece with the climax in October 2020, and completely true.

My two bits says we won’t learn what’s in it anytime soon if ever. Wouldn’t be surprised if they seal it for 20 or 30 years to protect the so called government institutions.

Yeah, and you can take this to the bank as well.

It would be stupid and shortsighted to release this in 2017, or even 2018.

Best to unleash it mid-2019 and let the death-by-thousand cuts happen over the next few months. I’m sure this strategy was already in place in 2017 because Trump knew he’d have at least 50 Republican incumbents retire in 2018. He gets to play the martyr even better when the Dem House overreaches.

Remember this outrage next time you have jury duty.
Either ignore the summons(do they have ‘proof’ you received it?) or show up professing ‘juror rights’.
If the ‘elite’ of the FBI is willing to steal the votes of 63 million people the ‘rank & file’ can be no better.
Where is the ‘special council’ to investigate the criminal federal workers?
