The DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz finally released his report on FISA abuses on Monday.
The report revealed what we knew to be true all along — the FBI defrauded the FISA court and purposely omitted exculpatory information from the FISA judges in order to obtain FOUR FISA warrants on Trump campaign advisor Carter Page.
Horowitz, however concluded that the FBI investigation into Trump was not politically motivated — and John Durham hit back.
Read more US Attorney from Connecticut John Durham immediately released a statement following the release of the FISA report and disputed Horowitz’s findings and conclusions.
“I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff. However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened,” John Durham said in a rare statement.
John Durham was tapped by Bill Barr earlier this year to conduct an investigation into the origins of Spygate.
Mr. Durham has already traveled to Italy and other countries as part of his sprawling investigation into how Obama’s corrupt FBI and intel agencies launched and carried out the largest spy operation of a presidential candidate in US history.
Unlike Horowitz, Durham has real power to bring the coup plotters to justice, such as the power to indict and impanel a grand jury.
US Attorney General Bill Barr also blasted the FBI on Monday in a statement
“The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken,” Barr said, adding, “It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory.”
“I would encourage the IG to take a look at Mr. Durham’s statement.” Jim Baker, Former FBI General Counsel on CNN
I want PRE-DAWN RAIDS and ARRESTS, or else America is DEFINITELY gone.
It’s incredible that after the emails of Strzok and his squeeze Lisa Page were disclosed, Horowitz could conclude that there was “no political bias” on the part of the FBI.
As I said on an earlier thread, Horowitz’s job was to protect the establishment, in this case the DOJ bureaucracy.
He obviously subscribes to the #1 Rule of the FBI: Don’t embarrass the Bureau.
I'm glad BOTH Durham and Barr are stepping up.
Law-loving patriots will have their day . . . sometimes when you are draining the swamp you have to clear away a little debris from the drain. It’ll be back on schedule soon . . . despite the doom-and-gloom predictions of the FLeepers.
Hey Mr Barr, tomorrow morning would be a good time to conduct a few dozen SWAT raids with Indictments in hand
If the Dems were in power, he would be/could be a Supreme Court nominee.
Any pre-dawn raids yet? Anyone facing charges, other than Trump associates? No? Then no one - NO ONE - is stepping up, nor will they.
Horowitz prefers to give aid and comfort to the enemy. Horowitz can join Comey, Brennan, and Clapper on the gallows.
He already did it with the Hillary IG report. Remember no political bias in that one too?
I called this report. Look at my post history.
Text me when we have a perp-walk.
Barr will spend a few weeks being APPALLED by all this, but in the end will he actually DO anything?
Color me skeptical.
Even those who have been right about this all along are taking more flack than those appointed by Trump who are not helping the cause.
IG Horowitz deserves NO respect.
Barr needs to fire The Fey Wray tomorrow.
Horowitz to follow.
Hey Mr Barr, tomorrow morning would be a good time to ...”
I’m guessing that the crack of the whip, if it’s coming, is coming after election day 2020. Trump’s riding high and his enemies are destroying their own credibility. With re election behind him Trump can go pedal to the metal.
