The 10 most important revelations to expect from the Russia probe FISA report
DECEMBER 4, 2019
Next week Americans will finally get their most complete accounting to date of what the FBI did right and wrong in the Russia collusion investigation that probed President Trump’s campaign with a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant at the end of the 2016 election.
Predicted to span more than 500 pages and 100 witness interviews, Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report Monday will provide a comprehensive catalog of what offenses, mistakes and oversights the FBI committed during one of the most politically polarizing investigations in recent history.
As such, it will serve as a non-partisan roadmap for a much longer process of holding the investigators to account, a process that now includes a criminal probe being led by U.S. Attorney John Durham and investigative hearings by Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Lindsey Graham.
In the evitable political bitterness that grips Washington, each political party will seek to score points by cherry-picking their favorite Horowitz findings. But there is a far weightier question than electoral politics to be resolved: Can the FBI be trusted going forward to adequately, fairly and honestly protect civil liberties of Americans while conducting counterintelligence, counterterrorism and criminal investigations.
With that bigger question in mind, here are the 10 revelations I believe will be most important in the Horowitz report.

Marking my place at post #773.
The WOODS PROCEDURE seems to be the Only substantive Case checkmate against corrupt practices.
Either the WOODS process is laughably loose like a sieve, ignored, or it is Airtight and deadly serious, certain to deliver *criminally* prosecutable consequences to any agent facing off with WOODS, who dares to feloniously lie, forge and/or otherwise misrepresent falsified evidence or FRAME a case against anyone, deemed to be a potential FBI Target.
One or “tuther”. Period. WOODS violations need to be pursued Criminally in all cases. If something was then found to be an unKnowable error, then dismiss the criminal liability.
Are those danged procedures even reviewed, in a remotely Serious test for fallibility????? I think not.
Solomon tried to tell us on Hannity tonight, but, as usual, Sean talked and Solomon did his impression of wall paper. Hannity has been a good source in general, but the only reason a good investigative reporter would go on his show and let Sean blow their scoop is for the on camera appearance fee as far as I can see.
