The closer we get to the truth, the more insane the Dems get.

Somewhere I heard or read that the FISA IG report could come out this Friday. Barr already has it, and has had it for about a month or so. The whole thing will come to a head and explode across the MSM in a few days..........................

Hold him in contempt and let him spend some time in the cooler until he decides to answer.

Our federal government now runs our country the same way that the Mafia ran Atlantic City in the 1970s and ‘80s.

This “IG” of the “IC” WAS....... was previously legal counsel for the DOJ-National Security Division (under rosenswein) during the ‘stop-Trump’ tenure of John Carlin and Mary McCord- both of whom were forced out of office by the IG of the DOJ, and because the NSD has NO IG that can check on it!! As a result, Atkinson was a participant in the weaponizing of the DOJ-NSD via the FISA warrants abuse, along exploiting the NSA database and used tenuous Foreign Agent Registration Act legal theories used to target political opposition.

Atkinson will be DESCRIBED IN THE IG Report being released on Friday— COMPLICIT in the false Warrants filed with FISA. That is to say..... referred for Indictment!

It is worse than that. The House rules were changed weeks later than the whistleleaker complaint, but were then backdated so that the WB complaint would be allowed in the rules change.

So what happened is, the whistleleaker made her complaint. Somebody then did some homework and realized that whistleleakers can’t use hearsay, so they changed the rules allowing it. But the genius forgot to realize that the complaint pre-dated the rules changes, therefore it could not be accepted at the time it was made. So to retroactively allow the whistleleakers foul deed, they then BACKDATED the rules change to before the whistleleakers complaint.

And then they wonder why we want them to go to prison.
