"But is that the way we evaluate decisions in the real world?"

Very smart reading

This article really has to be read in its entirety in order to get what he is saying. Excepts are going to lead to incorrect conclusions on what the article is about. Some articles are just written that way. So please read the whole thing if you are interested.

Apparently Horowitz doesn’t want his family killed any more than anybody else does.

All of the Freepers who’ve been saying that NR is hopelessly compromised and hopelessly anti-Trump need to read this. Do those Freepers really think we’d be better off without Fox News and NR? Are they really that challenged, that dumb, that narrow, that focused on the idea that only someone who agrees with their every quirk is a real conservative?

I would urge folks interested in the nothing/somethingburger aspect of the IG report to listen to the Dan Bongino podcast. (you can always listen at 1.25x, sometimes 1.5x is a little hectic!)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OvgZUP-KEHY

Bongino has absolutely the opposite take on the "meaningfulness" of the IG report, and I think he explains it quite well. I strongly reco a listen.

Remember: The report's job is NOT to recommend prosecutions or actions. Its purpose is to state facts. It has stated some seriously damning facts. Nobody can predict whether anything will happen, and I am as skeptical as most, but the report has unquestionably brought out some seriously damning facts.

This is a 550+ page report. It's not a skim read. Some people have read it. Many, many more have NOT read it. Some of those who have read it have not drawn the proper conclusions. People who have NOT read it (and I have not read it) are ABSOLUTELY coming to bad conclusions. Without question, the media and the Dems are going to spin the report as a N_burger. That should be zero surprise. The report is NOT a nothing burger. It is a *scathing* indictment of the FBI and DOJ. Scathing.

One thing is for sure: The case for obstruction against Trump is absolutely dead. DEAD. Period. Fatal conflict of interest. Comey was fired, for one reason, because of how he handled the HRC private email situation. In this report, Comey admitted that he, too, had a private email account and used it to conduct some gov't business. Did we know that before this report? No, we didn't. Not before this report. So, do ya think someone in government who has a private email account has a blatant self-interest in killing an investigation into whether HRC had a private email account? In an obstruction trial, Comey would be the #1 witness. His credibility is 100% obliterated on the obstruction.

While we're at it, we also discover that Comey has claimed that he & the agency were in no special hurry to examine Weiner's laptop...giving as an excuse, that he HAD NO IDEA that Huma was married to Weiner

That is completely impossible to believe, it was in every newspaper on the planet, and COmey has already claimed that he reads newspapers and keeps up to speed on "the news". There's no way he could not know they were married. No way.

Before this report, Strzok replied to Page's wail "please tell me that Trump will not be president" by saying "No. We will stop that". WE__WILL__STOP__THAT. Expresses a clear willingness to take action.

That text was DELETED FROM all prior renderings of texts that have submitted to Congress. Do we think that is important? You da** well better believe that is important, it means 1: Strzok was willing to act, and 2: The FBI was willing to cover that up.

Ladies & gentlemen, that's the whole case, right there.

That deletion is of utterly critical importance. We did not know of it before this report.

We also find out from the report that HRC was definitively hacked by "others".

And we also find out that there is no question that 0bama knew she was using a private server, when he previously stated that he only found out about it via regular media.

Some of these things, we of course suspected long ago and far away. It is an entirely different story to have them etched into an actual IG report.

Very good read.

I think we know what is going on. And the bad guys have families too.

“And Brutus was an honorable man” -Mark Antony

In his speech to the Roman citizenry, Mark Antony had listed a long litany of injustices and gross offences committed by Brutus against Julius Caesar ending with a facile conclusion that everyone could see right through. He did it on purpose to start a revolt against Brutus and the other conspirators.

The question is why did Horowitz end his own long litany of gross biases and injustices with “No political motive”? Is he really that facile or is he pulling a Mark Antony?

Yet there are those who want ANOTHER Special Counsel. Why waste time and money. Just copy this report, change some names and dates and voila done.

The pig report was harsher than I expected but it really was a whitewash in the end

The article is a clear argument why a special counsel was necessary for this, not an IG. No justice, no peace.

Andy seems to be finally coming around to finding that the DoJ is a hotbed of sedition. Beloved institution indeed.

I posted on the other IG report thread -

I highly recommend to all - listen to Dan Bongino’s podcast from yesterday Friday - called The Aftermath. This report is not a nothingburger - his words. Follow up with Mark Lebin’s podcast from last night - 6/15. He puts the icing on the cake. The newly (Sept. 2017) appointed US attorney Jessie Liu whose jurisdiction is DC, can immediately bring charges and prosecute anyone mentioned in the report who might have committed crimes. She can even empanel a grand jury. Mark says she does not have to wait for Huber, who will only finish his report (when?) and give it to Sessions(when?) who will decide (when?) whether or not to appoint a special counsel. Jessie Liu can bring charges TODAY. I just read her Wikipedia page. Check it out. She was on Trumps transition team.

I just love Andy McCarthy. Ever since he brought down the blind sheik, he’s been one of my favorite teachers.

I’m hoping the original report will be leaked, as it was written, before the CYA crowd watered it down.

Half-Baked? Clever analysis. The whole exercise has been a waste of time for all. We expected something and got a 500+ page disappointment. Horrorwits is no fool, he is establishment, period. He will live to regret this whitewash, I hope.

Half baked but points to the fact that there was an attempted coup.
One that is still going on.
Sedition is the charge that all these folks need to be swung on.
String em up.
