Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s much anticipated report on his investigation into the FBI’s probe into President Trump’s campaign is expected to be made public before Thanksgiving and the outcome is alleged to contain several criminal referrals, according to sources who spoke with SaraACarter.com.
Horowitz’s investigation on the bureau’s probe into the now debunked theory that Trump colluded with Russia in the 2016 presidential election will more than likely result in the declassification of documents — requested by senior Republican lawmakers for more than several years. These are the same documents President Trump turned over to Attorney General William Barr in May, giving him ‘full and complete authority” to declassify.
Those documents will contain several classified pages of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page, exculpatory evidence that was withheld from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, the so-called ‘Gang of Eight’ folder (which contained exculpatory information), as well as the email chain between FBI investigators in the Russia probe and then-FBI Director James Comey. Those emails also include discussions with lawyers in the DOJ’s national security division. As previously reported, the email chains will contain information that prove the FBI knew prior to obtaining a warrant to spy on Page that former British spy Christopher Steele’s information in his infamous dossier on Trump could not be proven.
It is also expected to reveal that the FBI knew that Steele was leaking to the media but then used those media reports as separate evidence in their request for a FISA warrant, known as circular intelligence reporting. Circular reporting is when a law enforcement official uses false confirmation by making a piece of information appear to come from multiple independent sources.
If it’s strong and comes out soon, the IG report will do some real damage to the Democrats’ impeachment charade. It would show that Resistance bureaucrats really are conspiring to take down Trump, House Republican
Horowitz’s report is also going to contain evidence that the FBI handled Hillary Clinton’s campaign differently than that of President Trump’s campaign. It will reveal that she had received a detailed debriefing from the FBI on foreign attempts to make contact with her campaign. It will reveal the deep bias and animus those FBI officials had toward the Trump campaign.
It is the most highly anticipated Horowitz report during the Trump administration’s tenure. Why? Because for more than three years the American people have not had closure or resolution to what exactly warranted the FBI investigation to spy on a presidential campaign, or for that matter on the President.
It will also weaken House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff’s current impeachment probe into Trump, as it will prove that his previous statements in support of the FBI’s FISA into Page was based solely on his biased against Trump. This bias, say Republican officials, continues with his push to impeach the President.
“If it’s strong and comes out soon, the IG report will do some real damage to the Democrats’ impeachment charade. It would show that Resistance bureaucrats really are conspiring to take down Trump,” said a House Republican source. “It would also fatally undermine the credibility of Schiff, who argued vehemently that there were no FISA abuses—it will mean that, as Intel Committee Chairman, he’s ignoring severe abuses for purely political purposes.”
Hannity has to prepare us b4 I take it seriously.
Fixed.
“Likely”?

Sunshine pumping of the worst kind from Carter here. Horowitz will have exactly zero impact on the House Dems and their coup because it does not impeach their witnesses.
With less than a year until the next presidential election, this is way overdue.
But I’ll still take it.
A few indictments, or even one, is better than none.
Can’t wait to see what an unencumbered second term will look like for President Trump.
It seems like all of these reports encounter delay after delay. I have very little faith that actual justice will ever prevail.
*Yawn* — at least until I see it actually released and see it has damning evidence and charges.
“Doesn’t Sara Carter write this same article ever week, no actual news but lots of speculation on when the report will be released and what the impact will be?”
This is from Septermber
“Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz is finalizing his report on the investigation into the FBI’s handling of President Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia probe, according to a source familiar with the matter and a letter sent to lawmakers Friday.”
This is getting old. Tomorrow never seems to come.
Criminal referrals mean nothing. Actual indictments come as evidence is uncovered and don’t wait for any administrative report.
Right now the GOP in the House should be insisting the GOP controlled Senate assist them in gathering facts of the ongoing coup against a GOP POTUS. That the GOP Congress is not using its powers to do that makes them co-conspirators in the coup and nothing less.
I’ll believe it when I see it..every time I hear Hannity say BOOM THE REPORT IS COMING..I wonder if the killer of Epstein will be found quicker than this report..I want to see Comey, Obama, Brennan, Clapper, and all the rest of the hired goons wearing orange jumpsuits
“If, if, if”
Just like frogs and bumping their a$$es.
lol
So the referrals go to main DOJ and then what; still waiting for any significant coup plotter to be indicted; like what has happened with McCabe? The Dems are racing as fast as they can. The DOJ...?
Just for reference McCabe was referred by Horowitz some 16 months ago. Incredibly, no prosecution decision has yet been made on McCabe. And that was for a non coup related crime: leaking during the Obama admin. The bottom line is nobody in the “Trump” DOJ wants to prosecute criminal Democrats to the benefit of President Trump. It’s as sure of a beltway career ender as there is.
Right, uh-huh. Maybe some low level civil servant, will hardly make the news, if at all.
Wake me up if something actually happens.
A few no knock raids at zero dark thirty with SWAT teams and perp walks. Oh, and shoot the dog.
I know, not happening.

I’m starting to think Carter is not a reliable source. She seems uncommonly breathless when she’s on Hannity, she doesn’t seem to appear anywhere else on tv and it seems she reports a lot of things that don’t seem to pan out.
The unstated job of any IG is to protect the agency he’s charged with overseeing. This report, and (I dare say) Dunham’s investigation will amount to nothing. No indictments, and certainly no convictions. The wamp will always protect itself.
