DOJ IG Report Due Out Friday, Will Cover More Than FISA Abuse

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.

The Deep State is acting bold because thy know they will be exposed and many of them prosecuted. It’s actually a very predictable behavior for someone who knows they are a target of a criminal investigation that will lead to a prosecution.

I hope it covers the unmasking. Samantha Power testified that many of the crazy number of requests made in her name were in fact not made by her. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/trey-gowdy-samantha-power-testified-that-intel-officials-made-unmasking-requests-in-her-name So who made the requests and was that aspect of the process legal? An unmasking request should not be the kind of thing that a person authorized to make the request can just delegate to anyone they please. (And obviously the UN Ambassador has no business making unmasking requests in the first place but I assume that part of it is at least legal on the surface.)

Indictments come from Grand Juries.

The IG cannot issue any at all, only criminal referrals to the DOJ........

_____________________________________________________________

The DOJ received this report a month ago, perhaps they have evidence they didn’t have before. I don’t expect much from the IG all he can do is expose the information and give it to DOJ and let them decide what to do with it. If it is as bad as we think, especially if the first FISA warrants were baseless and fraudulent I will expects heads to fall.

The Democrats have moved past all this though. While they worked for two years to keep this from being exposed now they are working to keep their graft from being exposed. When people see just how corrupt the Democrats, and some Republicans are they will not be happy. So many Democrats are rich from government positions, it is not right and likely mostly illegal. Most of these people are lawyers and should know better and many might think they have protected themselves like Biden did by sending his son to collect money. They all thought Hillary was a shoe in so they didn’t cover their tracks well as in the case of Joe Biden accepting a $900000.00 payout from Ukraine and making a stupid video about forcing the prosecutor out who was investigating the crime.

The whole impeachment thing is meant to discredit this investigation and tie Trump up. When the people see what the Democrats did it will soften at least some of their support. They are unable to do what they are doing without support, at some point representatives will fear for their offices and back off. Some won’t but without a good majority they can’t do anything. I think Pelosi is done, I think what she has done by not moving any legislation and only focusing on Trump who is much more popular than we are led to believe could either be primaried or even lose the general.

The facts will come out. The MSM will not report it but the facts will still get out people will be discusted.

Late Friday releases means there’s little for the Deep State to worry about.

I doubt you’ll be shocked.

Well let’s see. Saturday will be October 19th.

They can’t beat the attention grabbing of October 19th 1781.

On that day in history, October 19 1781, Britain's Lord Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, Virginia, handing a huge victory to American Gen. George Washington and effectively ending the American Revolution and assuring America's independence.

That was a big one.

I guess we'll just have to wait.

When they need to investigate a person on the right BAM it is done in record time middle of the night, swat teams with guns EVERYWHERE, and thrown into solitary confinement within DAYS of investigation!! If anyone here honestly believes ONE DAMN thing will happen to anyone on the left they are living in LA, LA, land ain’t going to happen!!! We have gone past the point of FAIR AND EQUAL justice the country is no longer a republic it is however VERY CLOSE to China AND Venezuela!!!!

Plus no doubt classifying away any inconvenient bits - as if their Deep State IG would have put anything too unconvenient in there to start with.
