Comey on List of Criminal Referrals in DOJ IG Findings

Department of Justice inspector general Michael Horowitz is expected to make multiple criminal referrals as part of his report based on his probe of how the FBI dug into President Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, according to journalist Sara Carter. One of those criminal referrals is expected to be former FBI director James Comey, according to two sources, the report claims. House Freedom Caucus Chairman Andy Biggs told Sean Hannity of Fox News that several other top government figures — such as former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe and former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — may also be found "culpable." Horowitz's report is expected to be made public before the end of November. His investigation is also expected to reveal that the FBI knew before securing a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrant to spy on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page that ex-British spy Christopher Steele's controversial dossier on Trump could not be verified, according to Carter. The report may also throw a wrench into House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff's impeachment inquiry of Trump. According to Carter's news report, Horowitz's findings will make it clear that Schiff's backing of the FBI's FISA warrant on Page was entirely based on the California Democrat's bias against Trump and not on any objective considerations. Many Republican officials say that Schiff's single-mindedness on impeachment proceedings against the president demonstrates this continued bias, Carter reported. Attorney General William Barr has directed federal prosecutor John Durham to investigate the FBI in how it handled its investigation of Trump's 2016 campaign.

Get the gallows ready for this POS.

[Psalm 73]

"...and former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein..."

I think they flipped him early on.
He knew he was toast and cut a deal to rat out the other, um, rats.

[Huskrrrr]

Hope this will be like God’s justice. A mill wheel that grinds slowly and extremely fine.

[liberalh8ter]

I want to feel good about this however, what if all it ever is, is a referral? A referral that they decline to pursue.

[Moonman62]

It’s all rumors at this point.

[Sacajaweau]

I’ll take a wait and see on this....There’s just too much fake news items and blogs around.

[Postman]

The rope around that pencil neck would be quite a sight...Live TV anyone?

[freedom1st]

Come on issue the report already. What’s the holdup?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks Kevin in California.

[PGR88]

former U.S. Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — may also be found "culpable."

And THIS is who Jeff Sessions turned the entire DOJ apparatus, and Mueller operation, over to when he recused himself on the flimsiest of "Russia" pretexts. So is Sessions just incredibly naive and stupid? Or deeply treacherous?

You be the judge.

[Paladin2]

The fey Wray should be on the list for Dereliction of Duty.

[Magnum44]

So is Sessions just incredibly naive and stupid?

The evidence speaks for itself, doesn't it?

[DannyTN]

"Horowitz's findings will make it clear that Schiff's backing of the FBI's FISA warrant on Page was entirely based on the California Democrat's bias against Trump"

How did Schiff back the FISA warrant??? Was this just after the fact voicing approval or did he somehow approve this prior to the warrant being obtained?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Good!! Comey deserves to be in prison stripes..even though the odds of it happening are the same as finding Epstein’s killer..(Cough, it was the Clintons, cough)

[cuban leaf]

Yep. I almost didn’t open the thread. What I care about is what’s in the actual report. And we won’t know that until it is officially released.

Until then, it’s all just speculation for slow news days.

[LS]

IF this is true-—big, big if because it’s Newsmax-—I would find it inconceivable that Comey would be referred but McCabre wouldn’t.

[CatOwner]

Deep State referral -——> The path to nowhere.

[PGalt]

jimmiecommie should half-gone from his late in coming rope swing.

[LS]

Correct. McCabre was “referred” and “decline to prosecute.

Also, there is word this is being held up so that Congress will first pass FISA renewal. Ugh.

[z3n]

There are three things Comey would be thinking when a criminal referall comes down;

1) Oh s**t, they got me. I can’t believe it, but they got me.
What’s New Zealand like this time of year?

2) Psh! They wont do jack. They never do. This is only symbolism. I think I’ll hit the media (again) and act like a martyr.

3) At least I wont get treated like Gen.Flynn The media will make sure of that
