No - the MSM is already distorting the facts. Today’s hearing is separate and Meadows said a rsult of the hearing is that he’s referring COmey to the IG.

Here are two posts I made on another thread re this issue:
~~~
I think the article is distorting the truth. I just watched this morning’s congressional hearing with Horowitz in which Rep. Meadows said that the outcome of today’s hearing is that Comey is referred to Horowitz and Horowitz acknowledged that.

So the article provides old news at the top and then white washes today’s request for referral:

I’ll put a quote below but Meadows did not ask Horowitz to “look into allegations”; Meadows said a result of today’s hearing is that he is referring Comey to the IG re the content of the IG’s report. Here’s the white washed excerpt from the very bottom of the article:

“Rep. Mark Meadows, North Carolina Republican, asked Mr. Horowitz if he would look into allegations Mr. Comey lied during his 2017 Senate testimony. Mr. Meadows said he believes there were “numerous” times where the ex-FBI director’s testimony did not match revelations included in the inspector general report.”

More distortion from the article:

“Mr. Comey in May 2017 asked a law professor friend to share with The New York Times a memo detailing his conversations with President Trump in order to pressure the Justice Department to open an investigation of the president.”

This is what Comey says but the article states it as fact. In the hearing itself today - Jordan notes that Comey’s statement that he said leaked to open an investigation contrasts with his conduct reported in the IG report.

The MSM has really put up a hall of mirrors.

Interesting. So after hearing Horowitz on Comey, Meadows said he was referring Comey to the IG, who, in fact, is Horowitz. Which is separate from Horowitz referring Comey to the DOJ previously.....Did I get that?

The MSM has really put up a hall of mirrors.

I mean that SEEMS like a hall of mirrors to me already...confusing.
