'Straight Shooter' Justice Dept. Watchdog Has Held His Fire on Powerful People (Letdown coming)
Real Clear Investigations ^ | September 30, 2019 | By Paul Sperry,

Posted on 09/30/2019 11:26:03 PM PDT by Hostage

As Justice Department Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz finalizes his probe of allegations of abuses surrounding the surveillance of a Trump campaign aide, some colleagues and Republican lawmakers say they have no doubt he's conducted a tough, impartial investigation. They expect him to deliver a hard-hitting report, due for release next month.

Others are more skeptical. While acknowledging that Horowitz is widely respected, these critics say his work has long been hampered by biases, conflicts and a tendency to play favorites, as in past probes of former FBI Director James Comey, whom Horowitz worked under in New York.

This is the epitome of what's wrong with DC. The Harvard Neanderthal pictured above is a multi-faced chameleon that presents itself as a serious federal government employee with great responsibility when in reality it's is a typical federal leech among senior federal employees who have mastered the art of covering their rear while feeding at the federal trough; career and connections come before country and people, and smelly Walmart shoppers, they fancy themselves as the aristocracy. Horowitz is just another DC Dirty Cop who knows how to look concerned while simultaneously looking the other way.

Expect his perennially late multi-year in-the-making grand report to have plenty of red meat to throw conservatives while letting the members of his caste walk free. This humanoid creature can't exist apart from his DC ecosystem, so he must play along with the crustaceans that populate the culture of corruption. Meanwhile, Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice rest beneath the ground just across the Potomac while Mr. Horowitz counts his days to retirement. The greatest scandal in American history is something for him to repeat his pattern of feigning moral indignation while concluding nothing of substance.

Here are the pertinent findings by a real reporter, Paul Sperry:

Skeptics fear that Horowitz, a Democrat and Obama appointee, is more political than widely believed, and may be naturally inclined to protect the FBI and Justice despite possible corruption during the Obama administration.

Federal records show Horowitz volunteered on the political campaigns of several Democrats while in college and later donated to the campaign of Colorado Sen. Michael Bennet, a former colleague who is seeking the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination – and who has slammed Trump's praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Horowitz, moreover, is married to a former political activist who helped run campaigns for liberal Democrats before producing programming for CNN out of its Washington bureau. Records show his wife, Alexandra Kauffman Horowitz, also contributed to Barack Obama’s first presidential campaign.

You might consider pinging to the members I blew a gasket at last month when Horowitz let loose his duplicitous Comey report.

Paul Sperry confirms my disgust at this specimen of DC culture.

Why is this guy investigating his former boss? Doesn’t conflict of interest meaning anything to these folks?

Yeah. I was lectured that things cannot go at the pace I want, but at the slow deliberate pace that would assure that justice would be served. We were told to trust
Sessions
Barr
that guy in Utah with all the indictments
Horowitz
the plan

That is more then I believe it will be. There will be no red meat, only "mistakes were made, but it was not intentional". If we even get that much vindication.

3.5 years and counting!

ICIG assessed Reporter Blower’s claims in 14 days! Even though he admits he Hates Trump.

The FBi / DoJ isn’t going to keep asking the same guy to do these four year Investigations if he will hurt them.

Lois Lerner IG took seven years and Jeff Sessions announced - there’s nothing there, on a Friday.

Look for some stern words that don’t mean a thing.

There is more chance that AOC will be the next branch president of the John Birch Society than that anyone in the Democrats will face consequences for past wrongdoing.

The IG Horowitz Scam.

I told everyone willing to listen, do you hear Hillary’s army attacking Horowitz? Is Strzok and Sally Yates attacking John Huber?

Is Clapper and Brennan attacking Sessions?

No, because they were all safe as a church mouse.

We already witnessed Horowitz cover for Strzok and Page.

What did Toothless say? He said they were biased but it didn’t affect their work. Old Toothless was asked, how did you determine that their bias didn’t affect their work? He said, I asked them, and they said it didn’t.

Anyone who spends five minutes reading about Horowitz knew I he fix was in, and his office is where Investigations go to die.

There have been BOOKS written about what this clown is supposedly investigating. He could have saved the country millions by a quick trip to Barnes and Noble. Like all the others this country is run by a group of corrupt oligarchs who are untouchable. The only difference is we have rifles we won’t use.

For a moment I thought that was a picture of Spalding Gray. I would suspect Gray would do a better job.

Trump should order the appointment of several special counsels to investigate alleged wrong doing by democrats. Also he should create a task force of at least 100 investigators to find and refer cases to said special prosecutors that arise from the resistance refusing to enforce the law regardless of party affiliation. He could give a televised speech saying for too long democrats have gotten a pass for breaking the law by democrat attorney generals. Probably would need at least four mueller sized special prosecutors with all republican staffs and donors just as mueller staffed his team. Sart kicking in democrats doors at 5 am and see how they like it.

September 12, 2019: Gohmert rips Horowitz

Did anyone happen to see, on Fox yesterday, the video of an elderly lady with a walker crossing the street, who was stopped and verbally attacked by ANTIFA? They had surrounded her and would not let her pass, screaming. People did nothing to help her and her husband, they just took pictures. So the chances of a Civil War are non existent.

Gohmert should be Attorney General.
