Fox News legal analyst Gregg Jarrett dismissed reports downplaying Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz's forthcoming report on potential FBI and DOJ surveillance abuses against the Trump campaign in 2016, calling them "hearsay."
"Well, it's [the reports are] based on leaked information from people who didn't read the Horowitz report, but were told about it from people, other people who were briefed on it who didn't read the report," Jarrett said on "The Story with Martha MacCallum" Thursday. "So we're talking about multiple hearsay. It's unreliable."

I don’t think it’s the devastation US deplorables want but I don’t think it’s just a nothingburger. It also opens the Durham Investigation up to show the indictments he has on parties named that are linked to that FISA abuse. Next week should see some fireworks.
If it does not quickly lead to prosecutions,,,,it’s a nothing burger, with cheese.
That's said, let's hope that Horowitz and his large bureaucratic staff, who utterly surrounded by a Deep State swamp have done the appropriate job.
I’m expecting nothing so will be pleasantly surprised if there’s something.
Let me point out that these reports have all the necessary elements to generate FISA warrants. (/S
Unreliable? Check
Hearsay? Check
Statements by people who had not read the report? Check, check (/S
We might as well just crown Hillary Empress Emeritus (/S
Horowitz is no different from Wray, a Deep State puppet. Why does anyone think he would challenge the Uniparty coup plotters in ANY way??
The IG does a report. He has no ability to indict. He can’t prosecute anything. It’s up to Barr to pursue the matter. Better take a deep breath and learn how the system works. If it’s going too? To that I wouldn’t hold my breathe.
We’ll see.
I haven't seen anybody say that it's Horowitz's job to indict.
But it is Horowitz's job to send any appropriate criminal referrals. Let's see if he does his job. I have my doubts that the IG office and staff aren't infested by Deep Staters.
It also opens the Durham Investigation up to show the indictments he has
‘IF’ he has indictments
He’s made referrals=crickets. I’m saying he makes his report. We see the money we wasted. Barr does the right thing with it and/or Durham starts the ball. After that it’s in our lap. As I said, I wouldn’t hold my breathe.
I'm OK with that. Trials will keep it in the public eye, etc. Better than plea bargains.
I don’t expect a lot of criminal referrals, maybe only one. I also expect Horowitz will try to protect the DoJ and the FBI as institutions but I also expect the totality of the report to be pretty damning i.e. a lot of mistakes were made but nothing criminal. However it is going to open a debate on the key point in this entire episode which is who exactly did Mifsud work for and who didn’t he work for. If he didn’t work for the Russians and the FBI knew it or should have known it then this whole investigation should not have been opened in the first place and everything that flowed from it is the fruit of the tainted tree. I also suspect Barr and Durham have not shared everything they have with Horowitz. I suspect that has been a one way relationship.
Don’t lose faith. Somebody deeply in the know has been leaking info to Gen. Flynn’s lawyer Sidney Powell.
Ain’t it just amazing how many people are behind the curtains pulling levers???
And the voters don’t get rid of them...both the lever pullers and the ones that appoint the lever pullers....
I hope he’s acquitted and sues the hell out of Comey et al and is made more than whole. Trump should see to it. Flynn is a good man.
We’ve seen Barr in (in)action before, despite criminal referrals.
Congrats on winning the stupid prize of the day.
I don’t know what Horowitz will report but I know the FBI and DOJ response will be:
Prosecution was declined.
Horowitz is a SWAMP Dweller.
