It was announced on Sept. 13 that Department of Justice Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz has written a letter to members of Congress, informing them that he has at last completed his long-awaited investigation of matters involving the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).
For a year and a half, Horowitz and many of the 450 people working in the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) have been digging deeply into just how the fake Trump-Russia collusion information was used by top federal officials to start law enforcement investigations and intelligence operations against the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
Specifically, Horowitz has been looking into applications proffered to the FISC to get surveillance of former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. After all, the title of the forthcoming report is “Examination of the Department’s and the FBI’s Compliance with Legal Requirements and Policies in Applications Filed with the US Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court Relating to a certain U.S. Person.”
There is no doubt that the “certain U.S. Person” referred to is Carter W. Page.
In this column, I’m going to make a case as to why this Spygate scandal is far more serious and has done more damage to this country than the Watergate scandal in the early 1970s. But before I do that, I have to remind everyone exactly what Watergate was.
What Happened in the Watergate Scandal?
To avoid putting the country through an impeachment crisis, President Richard M. Nixon resigned on Aug. 9, 1974. Had he not resigned, it was a foregone conclusion that impeachment proceedings would begin against him and his chances of surviving such a vote were exceedingly slim. He was facing two articles of impeachment if the process moved forward, and the evidence was damning.

I certainly don’t trust the government.
yes, we need accountability, but also justice. These perps being identified must face the bar of justice and punishment to fit the crime. We have seen a conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States. That is treason.
Trump stepped into a banana republic. Hope he turns it around.
I’m of the opinion now that if THEY don’t have to obey the law, neither do I.
This will remain in effect until I see at least on of the assholes - Brennan, Comey, Lerner, Hillary, etc., - In jail.
Great read. Thanx for linking it up.
Welcome back, wandering gypsy! :)
I predict there will be no accountability, and no trust in government. Where that leads is unlikely to be pleasant.
How can we trust a government that put an ineligible British subject/Kenyan national usurper in the White House and allowed him to turn the entire government against the citizens?
And posting it here, too.
Here’s Cates’ unrolled twitter version of the article. A bit more informal. Not copying images due to html botheration, there are only a couple anyway.

NEW COLUMN ALERT!!!
Without Accountability, There Can Never Be Trust In Our Government
Perhaps the most important column I have ever written.
RT liberally far and wide, hither and yon!
Without Accountability, There Can Never Be Trust in Our Government
Commentary It was announced on Sept. 13 that Department of Justice Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz has written ...
While many are out there selling the cynicism that they don’t think Barr is going to allow any prosecutions, that he’s now part of the cover up and no matter what Horowitz or Durham or whoever recommends or refers to him, he’s going to nothing...I’ve actually done my homework.
So here’s my reaction when people insist to me Barr will let all the SpyGate plotters walk away free.
Trump & his hand picked people haven’t been carefully rolling this all out over the past year and a half, ending with the big report & the big declassification so we can all fully see what they did so...Trump stands there like an impotent idiot while Barr lets them walk away.
Some people just can’t take “Yes!” for an answer, but don’t worry.
I’m going to be here to hold their hands and talk them through it as the indictments are unsealed and the arrests begin.
Remember: most of the people who went into these cynical, defeatist narratives long ago did so because....why?
Because Trump & his team didn’t go about doing this the way THEY THOUGHT he should have.
They **disagree** with the strategy.
So they’ve spent 2 years selling the ‘massive cover up’ narrative while I’ve patiently explaining the obvious:
You can’t have the key evidence until the investigations are completed and the classified documents are declassified.
Which is the point we’ve now arrived at.
But no matter how many times you explain the obvious to people, they’re emotionally committed at this point to a narrative that Trump is doing **everything wrong**, he’s appointed the wrong people, he’s doing nothing, he’s lost already, because he’s not doing it THEIR way.
To hear some tell it, the trigger should have been pulled on this thing back in 2017.
Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Brennan, Clapper, all of these guys should have been arrested long ago.
Let’s be clear: that would have been a banzai charge straight into the guns of the enemy.
Like it or not, agree with it or not, Trump & Co. decided against the banzai charge in 2017.
You don’t have to like it. You just have to understand the strategy they adopted instead.
Trump’s now positioned for a presidential campaign like nothing this country has ever seen.
All this that we’ve been waiting for, the declassification, the public release of the IG report, the referrals being made, the indictments being unsealed, arrests and perp walks, it’s going down over the next year
WHILE TRUMP IS RUNNING FOR REELECTION.
You can bet over the next year in the buildup to Nov. 2020 Trump will be regaling the massive audiences at these rallies, both in the stadiums & watching on TV with the latest blow-by-blow developments in the SpyGate scandal.
He’s going to hold these rallies at a brisker pace the closer November 2020 gets, sometimes he might do 3 a week.
Meanwhile Horowitz, Barr, Durham and others will continue doing their work.
Trump will keep the national spotlight firmly fixed on the results.
The legacy media will desperately try to spin all of this as it goes down, presenting the SpyGate crooks as heroic and noble public servants, whistle blowers singled out as part of a vicious vendetta by a Soviet stooge of a President.
But Horowitz & Barr & Durham & other US Attorney’s running these prosecutions will have all the EVIDENCE and Trump will use these rallies to keep pointing to it.
I’ve already foreseen how all this is going to go down.
Media Prepare Massive Public Relations Campaign to Spin Spygate
The Fake News Media will launch a massive PR campaign to try to spin how the public looks at SpyGate.
AND TRUMP WILL MASTERFULLY COUNTER THEM by using his rallies and his Twitter and all the other methods he’s used the past 3 years to drive the MSM insane.
Public caning, stocks, gaol, and gallows.....MAGA
Anyone who trusts the government is a fool.
It’s now clear that they are accountability-proof, and no one should ever trust them.
accountability in government? LOL Is it any wonder people are staunchly defending the 2nd amendment right to protect ourselves from our government?
Good article but,
Why is Hillary Clinton STILL walking free?
Call us tin foil hat conspiracy theorists, but until she is held accountable for her decades long list of well known crimes, then, nahhh... the rule of law has already died in this nation.
MAGA BIGLY ping!
Graduate & Professional degree ping!
It was before that. Once Bubba Clinton was allowed to remain in office and wave his impeachment around like a trophy, the Left figured out there wasn't much they couldn't do and get away with (thanks, MSM!). I honestly believe it was that debacle that directly led to B. Hussein's installment in the White House.
