A sure sign Democrats are scared of revelations coming in IG Horowitz’s report on FISA warrants

We still don’t know when the much-delayed Inspector General’s Report on the FISA warrants used to spy on the Trump campaign will come out, but it looks like it might be fairly soon. Prior to release of any IG report, the people mentioned in it are shown sections concerning them and offered the opportunity to state their rebuttal or comments.

That process may be underway, it appears. That’s because Representative Adam Schiff, the leading Russia Hoax conspiracy theorist. who would likely hear about sections of the report sent to his friends for comment, is pre-emptively attempting to discredit Horowitz himself.

Daniel Chaitin reports in the Washington Examiner:

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz got roped into a politically-motivated scheme to protect President Trump, laying the groundwork to discredit the government watchdog's work as he nears completion of a report on alleged surveillance abuses by the DOJ and FBI.

At the Aspen Security Forum this weekend, Schiff accused top Justice Department officials of pandering to Trump by instigating a "fast track" report last year about former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. His comments came as part of a broader answer to a question about whether he has concerns about Attorney General William Barr's review of the origins of the Russia investigation.

Schiff claimed the president wanted McCabe, who briefly took over as acting FBI director after Trump fired James Comey in May 2017, investigated and his pension taken away and suggested someone such as former Attorney General Rod Rosenstein obliged the president by making a referral.

"The inspector general found that McCabe was untruthful.

This is the same IG that found no wrongdoing in running guns to the Mexican cartels in an effort to ramp up violence in Mexico to facilitate undermining the 2nd Amendment in the USA.

I am not optimistic.

Exactly.

Dems are not scared of another administrative report from a toothless IG. This is just how Dems fight their political battles. They fight for every inch every single day.

Sadly, the same can’t be said of the GOP. Unless of course they are trying to keep Obamacare the law of the land and the borders wide open.
