Quick bit of breaking news just dropped.
About a month ago, IG Horowitz announced he had finished his report dealing with the Trump-Russia investigation, which most assumed would only cover possible FISA abuse. Now we are getting word it’s coming out this Friday.
🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The DOJ IG Report will be out this Friday and covers 'MORE than just FISA abuse'

Per the Washington Examiner.
“I’m hearing the IG report will be out this upcoming Friday, Oct. 18, and my sources say it’s as thick as a telephone book,” Bartiromo said, adding that it covers “more than just FISA abuse.”
It has been exactly one month since Horowitz announced the completion of the investigation by his team, who pored over more than 1 million records and conducted 100-plus interviews. The inspector general gave a draft to the Justice Department and FBI for a classification review.
Upon the completion of that process, the report will first be delivered to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, who has pledged to do a “deep dive” of his own into FISA that will run concurrently with U.S. Attorney John Durham’s review of the early stages of the Russia investigation. The South Carolina Republican said his “No. 1 goal” is to have as much of the report declassified as possible.
Yeah, I’m sure Democrats and former Obama officials are shaking at the thought of another Senate committee investigation.
The real news here is that it’s seemingly confirmed that it covers more than FISA abuse, which likely will end up a dead end anyway. No doubt Horowitz will cite some breaches of protocol or label the FISA warrants illegal, but I have strong suspicions the DOJ will claim they can’t prove intent.
We’ll have to wait and see where this goes. The smart money is on it not mattering much, being buried by the media, and nothing actually happening.
I am more interested in the indictments to follow
“being buried by the media, and nothing actually happening”
Yup. So much for the vaunted watchdog function.
As long as the report is about Rat / BureaucRat misconduct, will be downplayed, s**tcanned.
Enough reports! Indictments please!
Indictments come from Grand Juries.
The IG cannot issue any at all, only criminal referrals to the DOJ.........

there will be a lot of finger wagging and “don’t do it again” notes but Jack Sh*t is not going to happen to anyone.
Lol. Media will completely ignore this. Indictments will be ignored. By Monday, this will be old news unfortunately.
Count me shocked if anything comes of this report concerning indictments.
October 18th....A Friday....The Media are going to have to hustle to concoct their anti-Trump “parodies”.
I heard Horowitz rented a front loader just to get it to BBar's office.
From BBar's office it will travel, unread, to the nearest landfill.
Rinse and repeat.
Rumor has it they will postpone delivery on Friday to the public a bit longer because of new discovery....now time has been moved to the early part of December! WAIT for ittttttt!
Yup. So much for the vaunted watchdog function.

IG’s are NOT watch dogs. They are guard dogs. They protect their agencies.
This is stage 1.
The Durham investigatve report is the “bombshell” waiting to explode.
I want to see people in orange jump suits!
Can I be the first to coin a phrase?
“indictments or it didn’t happen”?
Still waiting for Bill and Hillary to be handcuffed from 1998. Just say when.
We find nothing of significance in this report, but the CNN grammatical experts did identify a punctuation error in footnote 13 where the IG should have used semi-colons for an extended list and not commas. This kind of error shows that the report was produced precipitously and without careful review, clearly a rushed effort to shore up a beleaguered presidency.
