The Justice Department inspector general’s report on possible FBI abuse of the foreign surveillance process is “lengthy,” and is likely to be made public with “few” redactions, the inspector general told lawmakers Thursday, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
Michael Horowitz, the inspector general, informed Republicans and Democrats on four congressional committees with a status update on the report, which will detail an investigation into whether the FBI complied with laws and policies in applications for Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Republicans have anticipated the report for months, with many speculating that it will show that the FBI misled the FISA court by relying heavily on the unverified Steele dossier to spy on Page.
Horowitz’s description of the report is likely to please Republicans, in that it suggested most of the information that the watchdog uncovered will be made public.
“Given that our draft report is lengthy, and concerns sensitive national security and law enforcement matters, we understood that it would take the Department and the FBI some time to work through and appropriately mark the entire report,” Horowitz said in the letter.
Horowitz, an Obama appointee, said the process is “nearing completion,” and that his office is working “constructively” with the Justice Department and FBI.
“The goal from my standpoint is to make as much of our report public as possible,” said Horowitz, adding that he anticipates the final report “will be released publicly with few redactions.”

“BREAKING: FISA Abuse Report Is ‘Lengthy’ And Has ‘Few’ Redactions, DOJ Watchdog Tells Congress...:
The few redactions are the names of the criminals....thus no prosecutions.
Tick tock, boom, bombshell, etc, etc, etc....
Will the IG make referrals for further legal action?
Horowitz, an Obama appointee, (cough)
The fox has to correct the report before presenting it to the hens.
NYT announces that the DOJ has just officially opened a criminal investigation into the spying on Trump and associates in the 2016 election. Bring on the Grand Jury, John Durham.
I doubt it. Unfortunately, I believe everyone will skate. Rats 🐀 are not held to the same standards as conservatives are. I hate it, but that’s reality.
I don’t get FOX has Hannity had an orginism yet?
Yup.
I recommend that you pay attention to what is going on in real time rather than continuing the whining
Horowitz thinks Chris Wray will appropriately make redactions.
What could go wrong.
WHOOOOHOOO! Here's the letter:
No prosecution.....they didn’t intend to abuse
I don’t get FOX has Hannity had an orginism yet?

But maybe “felt a thrill running up his leg”????

Is what Schiff was trying to get in front of...
I apologize...I thought I was paying attention to what is going on. Did I miss some indictments?
Whistleblowers will now claim immunity from protection..
