While Russiagate Was Fake, Spygate Is Real, and Horowitz Is About to Prove It

Commentary

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz turned in his report into potential FISA abuses to Attorney General William Barr almost four weeks ago. That report detailing his extensive and meticulous year-and-a-half-long investigation into issues surrounding how fake evidence was presented to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in order to obtain warrants to spy on at least one American citizen is currently undergoing the required classification review.

During this time, nothing has leaked, which is quite telling in itself. If there was anything that could be leaked from this report that would mitigate the coming fallout, we’d have seen it by now. This points to the report being incredibly damaging to the Obama administration.

During this four-week interim period, several developments have emerged:

The Implosion of the Ukraine Hoax First, the House Democrats launched a new hoax to replace the debunked RussiaGate hoax. This new hoax involved a secret whistleblower filing a complaint claiming that in a phone call President Donald Trump demanded that newly elected Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky launch a corruption investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden or Trump would withhold key military aid to Ukraine.

The new hoax quickly went down in flames when Trump promptly declassified and released both the fake whistleblower complaint and the transcript of his phone call with Zelensky.

The transcript revealed there was no such demand on the part of President Trump, and it was quickly demonstrated that the whistleblower had no first-hand knowledge of the allegations being made.

President Zelensky himself also publicly pushed back against any notion that there was any sort of quid pro quo demanded by Trump during their conversation, and subsequently it was proven that the notification of the delay in providing the military aid to Ukraine wasn’t made until a month after the...

Barr can expose whatever he wants, it won’t matter unless he prosecutes, convicts and jails people. Not to punish, to make it clear that the action were illegal and serious.

If the reports are put out and no one is prosecuted, the media will defend the Dem party line and nothing will change. Even Dem/libs who know the truth will push that party line and many people will continue to believe it.

The media can’t deny it when people are convicted in court and sent to jail.

The Dems went cheap enough to set up and jail Scooter Libby for nothing. Trying the same with Gen. Flynn.

Hillary? Nothing.

We will know soon if Barr is interested in restoring the rule of law or simply protecting the image of the DOJ and FBI.

Agreed. But we need. Grand jury. Indictments. Charges Trials. Convictions
Timing for the latter should be in mid 2020’

Uh, somewhere I read that former presidents can be indicted.

ADX Florence provides maximum security.

“Barr can expose whatever he wants, it won’t matter unless he prosecutes, convicts and jails people.”

I’m expecting nothing more than a few harrumphs and maybe a strongly worded letter, at the very most - if even that.

Be certain that there are indeed

ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES

for our action / inaction during

our short lives here on this earth nevertheless

we must strive to ensure that to the best of our ability

justice is served lest we ourselves be judged harshly.

Donald Trump is kind of a go big or go home type of guy.

It has been my impression that he has been going all in for the whole enchilada on this one since 2016.

Time will tell

Change of venue is necessary. DC won’t convict one of its own. See Tony Podesta

Arrests by Federal Marshalls. Military type Tribunals in Gitmo or Columbia, South Carolina. Several top individuals will be executed. The rest will get long sentences. Even several Supremes will be prosecuted.

In Horowitz own words, status of the report. It is still being scrubbed for redaction, and has not been provided to "targets" for review, comment, and report massage.

DOJ OIG FISA Update 10.24.19

With the "exonerate Hillary was okay" report, it's fair speculation that Horowitz added "no direct evidence that Strzok's bias affected his work" language because Wray demanded it.

I disagree. I think people will go down over this. I don’t think president Trump will let criminals off the hook who tried to destroy him and his family with lies. The president isn’t built that way. I don’t see the usual white wash happening because president Trump isn’t the usual spineless politician. He is a game changer and I have faith in him to get the job done no matter how hard it is.

President Trump alone cannot reform the Deep State. Thanks to Bill Barr and John Durham we might see a few convictions, which is a necessary start, but they don’t do away with a system that over decades nurtured and rewarded such people. A Congress that profits from the system certainly isn’t interested in its demise.

They own the system and they expect things to return to normal once President Trump departs. Shall we trust the liberty of our posterity to the improbable election of another Glorious Bastard? The time is ripe for We The People to turn Cold Anger into purposeful action. Our republic is at a tipping point. Our choices are rule through fear under the thumb of a Deep State secured by a pretend Constitution, or realize our supposed servants are actually our masters and we take the necessary measures through an Article V COS to restore free government. We have nothing to lose and liberty to gain.
