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.

THIS report/investigation was NEVER going to be “the one thing” (Oak Island fans will get it).

Actually, it is far more devastating than I expected.

The Durham report/investigation will be the REAL DEAL.

Durham is a PROSECUTOR. He will indict people. People will GO TO PRISON!

Horowitz is just the opening act. Durham is the headliner.

Sessions really F’ed us! Now, FINALLY, Barr is on the job and moving full speed ahead!

When does the Durham investigation come out? I thought it wasn’t going to be until almost a year from now.

Durham is a US attorney. Their public reports are called indictments and press releases about indictments. Their investigations that do not result in charges are kept confidential.

I’m curious about the implications of the conspiratorial nature of the plot. I understand conspiracy can be criminal in and of itself, but what does that mean? Because the Crossfire Hurricane plot was a criminal conspiracy of the most blatant sort. Is it like criminal homicide, where you can be guilty of murder if someone dies during the commission of a crime even if you didn’t directly kill anyone? Meaning if one conspirator altered evidence (like Lisa Page did) is a co-conspirator (like Comey) liable for the same penalty even though he didn’t physically do the altering of evidence? I need some free legal advice here!

I don't blame you for wanting to get away for a while. I keep coming back because there are few options to get the information without having to go to some MSM site.

For now, I am using a userscript where I will block threads that contain the phrases/words "IG Report", "Bombshell", and "Breaking" (case insensitive because the latter two tend to be in all caps). Maybe by doing so I'll miss something important, but I seriously doubt it.

Excellent question:

"if one conspirator altered evidence (like Lisa Page did) is a co-conspirator (like Comey) liable for the same penalty even though he didn’t physically do the altering of evidence? I need some free legal advice here!"

“Ok so does the report mention who the others were?”

If they are under possible indictment, I don’t think their names can mentioned like as in a grand jury

This is just butter for the toast. The grilled ham and cheese is about to be served. Hope you like tomato soup!

There was a time when the Clintons could have been ended. Now they have their tentacles everywhere. They corrupt everything they touch. It will be decades of heavy lifting to undo their damage.

Why was Horowitz chosen for this investigation? Simply put he is a deep state swamp eel. Therefore he would protect the swamp.

FWIW, John Robinson has modified the software so the article headlines can be posted in full. As far as I know, he hasn’t stated the maximum length but it appears to be plenty long.
