Maria Bartiromo: DOJ inspector general report due out Friday and covers 'more than just FISA abuse'
Washington Examiner ^ | 13 Oct 19 | Daniel Chaitin

Posted on 10/13/2019 5:56:15 PM PDT by SkyPilot

Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo says her sources are telling her an extensive report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz on alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses by the Justice Department and the FBI will be released by the end of next week.

Bartiromo, who is the first journalist to report an exact release date, discussed what she had learned on her Fox News show, Sunday Morning Futures, with two Republican congressmen who deduced former high-ranking government officials are bracing for a scathing critique.

"I’m hearing the IG report will be out this upcoming Friday, Oct. 18, and my sources say it’s as thick as a telephone book," Bartiromo said, adding that it covers "more than just FISA abuse."

It has been exactly one month since Horowitz announced the completion of the investigation by his team, who pored over more than 1 million records and conducted 100-plus interviews. The inspector general gave a draft to the Justice Department and FBI for a classification review.

Upon the completion of that process, the report will first be delivered to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, who has pledged to do a "deep dive" of his own into FISA that will run concurrently with U.S. Attorney John Durham's review of the early stages of the Russia investigation. The South Carolina Republican said his "No. 1 goal" is to have as much of the report declassified as possible.

We send these jerks to Congress and for 40 years they can't write laws to secure our borders... HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT THEY DO?

I'll tell you.

They spend their time writing laws to protect their graft and greed. "If you jump up and down 3 times and whistle "Dixie" backwards you get to do things normal citizens would be arrested for... that's how it works. They've make this crap 'legal' for THEMSELVES. That's why it's hard to arrest them. That's how they keep tripping up Trump.

Yep.

Here’s how I feel about it: If there’s enough evidence to charge, then do it, even if a conviction might not result. All this whining about unable to prove intent, conspiracy is very hard to prove,.....whahwhahwhah!

Let ‘em go broke defending themselves. Even that would be a deterrent.

Re: A scathing critique.

LOL!

Translation...

No indictments.

Or, some indictments, but no Democrat convictions are possible in 90% Democrat Washington D.C.

Never forget that IG Michael Horowitz and his Special Assistant, U.S. Attorney John Huber, were both appointed by Obama.

Trump could have fired both of them and nominated his own people his first day in office.

Instead, Trump lets Obama’s people evaluate the evidence for almost three freaking years.

Also, never forget that Senator Joe Biden, Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, recommended confirmation of William Barr as Attorney General in 1991.

Thirty years later, Trump hires Barr to be his AG, and Joe Biden might be Trump's opponent in 2020.

I agree he is a culture warrior on our side...no question

But the politics of arresting all the FBI and Intelligence and Democrat party apparatchiks and elected Democrat officials and even some GOPe and media employees and NGOs and Big Tech and Law Firms all tied up in this Deep State coup is staggering

NOBODY WHO DOESN’T HAVE A FIRST WORLD MILITARY COMMAND AT HIS DISPOSAL CAN UNDERTAKE SUCH A THING

as much as we’d like otherwise

This is merely another few steps down the path to the bloodletting necessary to vanquish these foes

All we can hope for now is to take some prisoners and slow them down

Somebody here tell me I’m wrong

What has gone on since Trump was elected literally is unprecedented

This is new territory folks...in a new world whereby if you don’t like a presidential election outcome then thwart it by other means when you control the institutions of power and render the executive branch impotent if you can’t simply remove the elected president you dislike

Nobody can tell what we will end up with when all is said and done a generation or more from now

Things are in my mind no doubt headed towards catastrophe within a generation fueled by demographics

Well, I can’t be sure if Brennan is indeed a closet Moslem, much less whether he has a thing for caprines — who, I can tell you as a former agricultural journalist, can be almost as friendly as dogs.

However, the things we know for sure about Brennan are damning enough.

How long has the buildup for this report been going on? Years.

All 'i's must be dotted, all 't's must be crossed, and all ducks must be lined up in a perfect row. These people can afford the best lawyers in the world. You cannot leave anything to doubt.

Beltway Republicans hate President Trump every bit as much as the Democrats do.

maybe as important as a meritorious memorandum.

Anything criminal will have been sent on to the DOJ long before the report is issued so this is a nothing burger. Yeah, there will be a ton of finger wagging but in the end it will be do not do it again or we recommend some changes to the law or regulations. There will be NADA in the report saying any of the perps should be prosecuted. ONLY if we hear there is a grand jury impaneled will there be any indication that someone is going to jail who is not already on the docket. The potential for actual violations range from providing false statements, conspiracy to defeat both law and regulations, obstruction of justice, violations of the eavesdropping laws and perhaps sedition but such violations will NOT be mentioned IMO.

The last page of the report has been leaked. It states the following recommendation about holding the coup conspirators accountable.

Since them, you have several books that came out, outlining in detail what happened ie Andrew McCarthy’s and Gregg Jarrett’s.

” ... bracing for a scathing critique.”

I’m sure they’re soooo scared! I used to get scathing critiques from my piano teacher. Never went to jail. Never got hurt. Scathing critique. Wow.

Brennan is indeed a satanic muzzoid.

There’s a video of a speech he gave in which he referred to Jerusalem by its’ islamic name.

Brennan is pure evil in so many ways.
