The probability of the amazing Horowitz coin toss is astounding. Every one of the 17 known improprieties in the FBI investigation into Donald Trump all came up heads, in favor of the FBI. Yet, the IG can find no bias. The likelihood of that event in infinitesimal. 17 coin flips all heads = .5 to the 17th power or .00000762939
Will some bloody Congress-critter ask him if bias is statistically certain.
Listen more, post less.
Don’t let the “can’t find bias” deter you from the facts in this case. Everyone has their biases.
The FBI was wrong so was the CIA/Intelligence agencies.
The question was, did they break the law? And the answer was YES
Horowitz is NOT a prosecutor, he is an investigator
This is in Barr’s and Durham’s court now.
This has nothing to do with the IG report. But the odds of flipping a coin 17 times and it landing on heads each time are 1 in 2. The odds realign after each flip.
Horowitz works for the DOJ. He probably doesn’t want to be killed in his sleep or in an unexpected auto-accident.
CNN not showing the hearing at all. MSNBC is stating “we already debunked all of these conspiracy theories that Graham is opening up, confirmed by Horowicz”.
He could find no bias, which is laughable, but he found 500 pages of dishonesty, abuse, and fraud, so I guess that’s something.
It does remind me of Comey’s speech outlining a dozen crimes committed by Hillary, and then concluded “nothing to see here...” All of Horowitz’s reports are like that, hundreds of pages of malfeasance delivered in such a dry manner that people then say, oh, is that all. But it’s all there in detail and under oath. It just needs someone to prosecute it, which so far no one has.
Part of the problem there is that, by putting it out in such microscopic detail, people don’t see how it all ties together. Focus enough on the tree bark and you’ll miss the forest fire.
Finding improprieties != finding bias
Everyone knows there was bias, but judging decisions and conduct is much much much more straight forward than proving bias.
CNN is one long editorial column. Had a chance to see CNN in a hotel lobby for, like, 3 minutes. The topic-box on the bottom read “President Clinton lies and distorts to avoid accountability”.
They don’t even TRY.
President Clinton = President Trump. My bad.
Caught a couple of minutes of the guest hostess on the Brian Kilmeade Show.
She said she missed until somebody pointed out that the “FBI finds evidence of Russia interfering, BHO calls Putin to tell him to stop, FBI told HRC campaign to be aware, FBI told DNC of server attempts, DNC did nothing..., FBI did NOT tell Trump campaign of attempts, hoping to set them up or paint them as tainted.
Meanwhile, FBI lets Feinstein’s chauffeur simply get fired without interrogation on what info was overheard.
No bias?
Not looking at the odds for each flip here, which is 1/2, but calculating the odds of 17 heads in a row.
With two flips, two heads statistically happens 1 out of 4. Three in three flips, 1/8. Et cetera.
But there were more than 17 lies and omissions.
There were 17 CATEGORIES of lies and omissions.
The Appendix says there were 51 occurrences of which 9 were lies.
He could find no bias, which is laughable.
In the previous report, he said he found no *direct* evidence of bias, which is explained a *bit* more clearly in the FISA report: He found no *documentary* or *testimonial* evidence of political bias. All that means is the no one wrote about their bias and asserted it was due to political cause, nor confessed to such. The IG does not at all assert there was not political bias, and simply does not speculate on the cause or source of the clearly biased actions which he documents all over the place.
One really shouldn’t expect for there to be those things regardless of whether or not there was political bias.
Well, Democrats are lucky coin tossers. Hillary’s campaign won dozens of coin tosses in the election over Bernie as well...
Horowitz is a DEMOCRAT political whore.
Tom Stoppard wrote a wonderful play “Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” (which is a comedy based on minor characters in “Hamlet”.
I believe the opening scene involves Guildenstern sitting on the ground and taking coins from his purse and flipping each coin high in the air — repeatedly. Each time, Rosenkrantz walks to where the coin comes to rest and announces “Heads!” and puts the coin in his own purse.
Guildenstern continues to flip coins but does remark how unusual it is for over 100 coins to all come up Heads in a row.
Each flip the odds are 1 in 2, yes. Cumulatively, all 17 flips, it would be, assuming the math is correct, as the poster stated.
It's doesn't PROVE there was no bias, just no actual documented statement.
On the other hand, no reasonable person could possibly read the messages between Strouck and Paige and come to any conclusion OTHER than the fact that they were Biased Bigly against candidate and later President Trump, and worked hard to overthrow the election. As for the FBI lawyer who doctored documentation, or the FBI and other government brass who conspired among themselves to keep Trump from being elected and later illegally nullify the election and remove him from office, again the only reasonable conclusion one could come to as to the reasons behind their actions is BIAS.
But there is no hard-copy document stating their bias.
Of course, every one of them should be charged with sedition and I believe for treason, because they effectively declared war on the citizens of the United States, while violating their oaths of office.

This same principle comes into play every time the police investigate themselves and find that they did nothing wrong.
