In his last report, Horowitz protected the Deep State. This column suggests that he may do that again. Excerpts: "Inspector General Michael Horowitz is examining one tiny part of the huge elephant that is Spygate. He is examining the fraudulent FISA applications that were part of the carefully planned and executed attempt to destroy Donald Trump’s candidacy for President, and, if the plotters failed at that, to provide an “insurance policy” to destroy him as President..... Horowitz clearly demonstrated that he was a blind man when he delivered his report on the Hillary Clinton investigation. For anyone who can see, the FBI’s Clinton investigation was a sham. The exoneration was written in advance. Key witnesses were given immunity, and not required to provide anything in return. They were allowed to attend each other’s depostions. No Grand Jury was empaneled to hear about the key crimes. Paul Combetta was instructed by Cheryl Mills to destroy evidence after it was subpoenaed. He did so. He lied to the FBI about it. He and Mills were given immunity. ...."

Horowitz is Obongo holdover and a deep state tool. The report will be as you would expect.
“The report will be as you would expect.”
I’m sure of that. It’s funny, you get disappointed by these people so many times and unfortunately you get used to it.
imho, I doubt ANY of the Democrats or their cronies in government, academia, judicial members and media will pay any price for their devious actions. Don’t know why......maybe GOP history of failure to be proactive or fight back....but Dems and far left seem to be able to do and say anything....legal or not......to accomplish their agendas. Sadly, my confidence in most govt agencies is negligent.
The “drink your Ovaltine” secret decoder crowd has already moved on to hoping Durhanm’s report next year will be the big one.
He’ll inadvertently let slip the truth, then Barr will hit the bullseye with it
Whoreofwits is the Lucy of the deep state. Those that believe that this is anything other than cover for the traitors running this farce is Charlie Brown.
Horowitz is constrained by the scope of his investigation to current DOJ employees. He should be viewed as a source of legal material for AG Barr and John Durham to initiate criminal prosecutions including people that have left or been fired.
The facts in the case are not in dispute. The FISA court was deceived, both by commission and omission, into issuing warrants to spy on innocent US citizens violating their Constitutional rights. This will not go away or end with Horowitz whatever he may add to the body of evidence.
Come back next week and we’ll see
“...you get disappointed by these people so many times and unfortunately you get used to it.”
They expect that. They just need to strrrrrrrrrrrrretch it out lonnnnnnnng enough...
There is truth to this opinion and the facts that support it.
I posted a similar opinion a day after Horowitz did his two-shuffle have it both ways DC dance with the Comey skate. About a week after I posted this opinion Paul Sperry really nailed it with great detail about Horowitz’s social circles and leftist associates.
He’s similar to Rosenstein with an uber-liberal wife and a brain algorithm to speak out of both sides of his mouth (and write that way too).
As a person I would probably like him and treat him in a friendly manner but as an important government official, he is truly misplaced. His kind need to be driven out of DC and if replacements are necessary, the character of persons chosen as replacements need to be serious and pissed off 24/7 with very little in the way of friendships on the job but lots of fellowship outside the job.
The best soldier is a pissed off soldier.
We want senior government bureaucrats to look like they’re ready to kill somebody downstairs in the chain of command and be wishing they had a normal job and career on the outside. We don’t want them salivating about their cushy government retirements and opportunities for double and triple dipping on retirements.
That said, I read the tea leaves that Barr-Durham have given the stink eye to Horowitz while Barr gives Horowitz the Rosenstein treatment which is to laugh and slap him on the back praising his blah blah blah as he puts Horowitz’s testicles in a vice.
I believe Horowitz is under control and will be retiring next year as soon he can be shown the door.
Rick Wiles from Trunews reported not long after Poppy Bush’s funeral that his source was telling him the Bushes and Trumps had struck a deal (coming out of the funeral, complete with cards put in the Bush family programs) as the Bush family had such a friendly tour of the White House). Neither W nor Jeb wanted to take over the lead of the “family business” and so they and Trump agreed to call off the real dogs on either side. As he reported at the time, sure the Dems in Congress would keep pecking at Trump, and there might be a relatively low-level conviction or two on the spygate side, but the main battle was over. He said Barr, long a Bush man and as Deep State cover-uping as they come, was being put in at Justice to assure that the Bushes would be protected from Trump, but he was also making sure the attacks coming from the other side wouldn’t be too heated on Trump either.
So far I have seen nothing to suggest that his source was wrong.
“the Bushes and Trumps had struck a deal”
Pretty obvious from all the Bushies trump has nominated.
Agreed. Though Trump went overboard on that before the purported time of this deal.
Roger Stone had been close to apoplectic during the transition when he said Trump was going with the Javanka kissy-kissy recommendations to bring in his Bush adversaries and call off the battle with the Clintons as well. (Remember how they were invited to and toasted at his inaugural luncheon.)
Stone’s whole point was that there were plenty of reliably pro-Trump political pros at the state level who could come in and handle the federal government. (The Clintons took that approach on a wholesale level and it worked for them.) Yet, Kushner and his and his father’s corrupt pals were in charge of the transition, they outright threw out all those who applied through the online application portal that had been set up for Trump staffing, and Trump was duped (yes, duped) into bringing a whole pack of wolves in sheep’s clothes into his admin.
The real mystery, other than their being MAD compromise material on both sides is how he could still be backing and bringing in such types almost three-quarters of the way through his term.
Stone also warned of Fiona Hill, for example, years ago.
Roger has his faults, but he knows that world and isn’t stupid.
Stone was on the money. I wouldn’t go directly to the “compromising material” assumption. As Bannon said, they had no one when Trump was sworn in. It was the island of misfit toys. The need to fill a wide range of positions as soon as possible, leading to a lot of “vetted” Bush people for faster confirmations.
The problem behind all this is that Trump has spent his life in NY partying with Clintons, Bloombergs, Schumers, etc and doesn’t know many conservatives in real life. Kushner won’t go looking for them either.
The reaction to the paper handed to the Bushes at the funeral spoke otherwise. They were shocked and outraged.
There was likely no deal but an ultimatum handed them and since them they have removed themselves from public theatre.
Trump and his counter intel backers are going hard after the Swamp and its Deep State demons.
The take now is that while Barr was once a Bushite, like most of us he developed a jaundiced eye for the Bush group. At his age he’s not interested in which side he pisses off and he has said as much. Hr’s going to lay down the law no matter what but mindful of optics as pertains to keeping POTUS insulated.
Barr knows this is no ordinary political clash, this is a counter to a takeover by a hardcore left and all the billions upon billions behind them, George Soros, Fethullah Gulen, the EU banker contingent, the secretive Democracy Alliance, and tools by the rogue CIA gone global.
We see evidence in this take that while Durham traveled with Barr to Italy, he converted the origins probe into a criminal probe and has most assuredly convened a secret grand jury.
Then there is Giuliani who in the past two days has unleashed an astonishing charge of billions in fraud by American officials, Biden and others included.
There may be a deal with keeping the Bush mafia spared for now. The Bush mafia is made up groups such as their globalist and dangerous private equity Carlisle Group, a network of bankers or banking affiliated persons who have their guns out on all important international deals. And when the term ‘banker’ is used, it’s not the stereotype of the power-suited short side burn automaton. It is the mafia don who has control of banks and the dark money their banks generate; international gangsters. To give an example, the leaders of the narco terrorists in Mexico all live in Mexico City under an agreement that cartel wars among them are not to be conducted inside La Cuidad, they all look like respectable businessmen, they are polished and accompanied by lawyers with law degrees from elite universities.
So it is with the Bush mafia, they look respectable but behind the scenes they are hiring and paying killers to carry out their work.
Maybe I am mistaken but my recollection is Barr tasked Horowitz specifically with looking into the FISA Court abuses by the FBI
Trump had a very steep learning curve and was fully dependent on POLITICIANS to help him organize his Administration. Many dirt bags were brought in but most didn’t stay to long. Trump is no dummy and his biggest mistake was in believing he could trust the swamp scum in the same way he would and could trust those in his high level business circle.
Hope you are correct. I’m sad to say, I believe no one involved with trying to take down Trump will pay any price.
Such time and money spent on a phone call by Trump but the missing 30,000+ ‘lost’ emails, smashed hard drives, billion in cash to Iran, telling Medvedev ‘I can be more flexible after the election’ and murder of 4 good Americans in Benghazi are ignored, forgotten, dismissed w/o consequences for those involved. Discouraging, to say the least.
