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.
Yer right
Unclear on the concept I am
“It’s as thick as a telephone book.”
***************
Thick with excuses and obfuscations. Another whitewash heading our way.
But wait, there’s more!
The Durham investigation is looking into the origins of how the witchhunt began and what federal crimes were committed.
John Durham is not part of the IG. He is a United States Attorney. He is known for putting corrupt government officials behind bars. Anyone being looked at by Durham and his team should be very worried.
How many times have we heard "wait for the report which will hit any day"?
Standing by, but not holding my breath.
IG’s are paid by the agencies they are supposed to be watching. Bear that in mind.
Their main function is to prevent and/or deflect outside criticism (i.e., “we are investigating this ourselves and will remedy any ‘issues’ internally to implement operational controls and/or effect changes to policies to improve accountability and efficiency”). Or some such bureaucratic BS.
Its all a big smokescreen.
It seems the “whistleblower” distraction started about the same time the report got circulated through the IC for review.
some crimes don’t need intent...sheesh
But we’re not cynical, right?
Me too...we have been waiting for a long time.
The IG cannot issue any indictments at all, only criminal referrals to the DOJ.........
Boom and other hyperbollies don’t indict Americans nor put them into jail.
EXACTLY!
Exactly. When you are over the target you get a lot of flack. Impeachment, Trump video, Shep’s firing, and CNN explosions. This IG report will destroy the enemedia. Project Veritas doing a great job.
I completely concur!
Perhaps Barr already has Grand Jury work and will issue the report along with indictments
Whoever doesn't know these people by now is useless going forward.
This is dropping on Friday, so watch for a massive, media-grabbing event to happen on THURSDAY........................
Why have the deep state traotors become even more bold? They know that Barr will do nothing. It will get even worse.
