FULL TITLE:
IG Report: FBI Official Higher Up Than Peter Strzok Involved in Opening “Crossfire Hurricane” to Spy on Trump
=============================================================
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.
According to Horowitz’s report, former FBI counterintelligence chief Peter Strzok wasn’t the sole or even highest-level decision maker in opening the CI investigation into Trump’s campaign dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane.”
In July of 2016, Peter Strzok opened a counterintel investigation into Trump’s camp dubbed “Crossfire Hurricane” on suspicions (based on no evidence) that the Russians had infiltrated Trump’s circle.
The FBI never even gave Trump’s camp a proper briefing warning him about a possible infiltration.
Attorney General Bill Barr 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.”
Comey, McCabe, Strzok and other FBI brass were all working together to take down Donald Trump during and after the 2016 election.
DoJ rpt: We further found that while Strzok was directly involved in the decisions to open Crossfire Hurricane and the four individual cases, he was not the sole, or even the highest-level, decision maker as to any of those matters.

Might as well update the userscript for FR to blank out any thread that starts with “IG Report”. I don’t think my blood pressure can take much more of this nonsense.
Trump needs to start using the term FISAgate.
It’s Clinton. All of this is Clinton.
They went to some very twisted logic to conclude that there was no bias in opening the investigation. Lisa Page supposedly had little involvement in the decision. Szrok was involved but wasn’t the primary decision maker. They try to pin it on Priestup. I guess he was the one with the least bias.
don’t worry here is what Wray just told ABC
@ABCPolitics
.
@PierreTABC
to
@GStephanopoulos
on his interview with Chris Wray: “I asked the FBI director point blank if he thought that the FBI had treated the Trump campaign unfairly. He said, ‘I do not.’” https://twitter.com/ABCPolitics/status/1204127432686653442
Stick a copyright or trademark for your term, that way you will get credit for naming the newest scandal.
Trump needs to start using the term FISAgate.
The political class in the beltway have destroyed America.
WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF POLITICAL CIVIL WAR..... its not on the streets yet but the 2020 election will perhaps be the shot that is heard across the USA if they don’t stop this BS today.
Very sad day for America.
What’s it say about McCabe
What Wray does or does not think is irrelevant.
Stephy knows this.
It’s just for broadcast idiot consumption.
It’s not Wray’s job, just as it was not Comey’s job to vindicate Hilliary.
This is just ear candy for liberals..............
It’s an alien - Indonesian nationality?
So? No charges means they will do even worse.
I’ll be satisfied when we see a public hanging of Brennan, Clapper and Comey for high treason against the Constitution and a coup against the Republic.
UM... WASN’T IT HIS JOB TO FIND OUT WHO?
It was beyond his scope...................

Oh, Gosh.../S
"The coop is underway."
Hi, CatOwner-
I am going to take a few days off from the FR site if only so I don’t self-indulge in angry thoughts.
Sigh.
This does explain Barr’s speech a few weeks ago.
He was already pissed at what he had to know was going to be in the report.
What’s his name has also got to be pissed. I figure if he told the report writers he didn’t agree with them he has an excellent reason.
Unfortunately, I’m not able to hold my breath that long without passing out.
