“Small Group” Complains IG Horowitz is Not Permitting Written Rebuttals During Principal R.
The Conservative Treehouse ^ | November 14, 2019 | sundance

Posted on 11/15/2019 10:48:26 AM PST by Texas Fossil

The usurping group of FBI and DOJ officials we have called “the small group” have an established set of media operatives and outlets aligned to assist their narrative.  Tonight Devlin Barrett (Lisa Page and Peter Strzok’s favorite narrative engineer) publishes a report in the Washington Post highlighting their concerns.

According to the WaPo Inspector General Michael Horowitz is not allowing the ‘small group’ to provide written rebuttals to the IG report on FISA abuse during their principal reviews.  The outline by Devlin on behalf of the group also confirms our timeline.

(Via Washington Post) The Justice Department Inspector General’s office has told witnesses who are set to review draft sections of its long-awaited report on the FBI investigation of President Trump’s 2016 campaign that they will not be allowed to submit written feedback — one in a series of unusual restrictions that some fear could make the final document less accurate, people familiar with the matter said.

As is the case in most inspector general probes, witnesses are being invited to review draft sections of the report and offer comments and corrections, the people said. But — unlike most cases — they are being told those comments must be conveyed only verbally, the people said.

Even though Attorney General William P. Barr and other officials have been working in recent weeks to determine what should be redacted from the report as classified or private information, people familiar with the process said that the entire draft document is marked “Top Secret,” so anyone who discusses its contents outside a secure government room could be committing a crime.

Nothing in that series of paragraphs is unusual.

Well. It looks like more time for this to be sorted out. Let’s kick out the release date by a couple more months. Never mind that the arsonists in the House are trying to burn the Republic to the ground in the meantime

This process is more fair than the FBI 302 process that Strozk used to entrap Flynn.

In that process the victim is interviewed and not allowed to record anything. The FBI writes notes and from that moment on they are considered the gospel truth for most purposes. Even if they are lated "edited" to make things worse for the the victim.

Well so much for the rumor of Lisa Page and Peter Strzok’s having flipped and ratting out the upper echelon.

Yes. That is how the game is played by the ComDems.

Please read the article. Horowitz is only allowing oral, not written, comments, thereby speeding up the release, which looks like it’s coming in either the week before Thanksgiving or the week immediately thereafter.

Trust but verify.

It makes sense, you know Barr is having to deal with immense push-back and resistance to releasing the report, and no doubt it being threatened by legal actions (injunction) if he does not keep the lawyers for those named at least somewhat happy. It all takes time and causes delay, but at least the process is still in his control rather than that of an Obama judge that Peter Strozk’s lawyer managed to get a restraining order from, for example.

But bear in mind that NO one, including Hannity, John Solomon, their sources, or most especially “Sundance” have any real idea what is going on and they are all just guessing and/or making stuff up. Not unlike the photographers trying to determine the topic of the meeting by spying thru the Oval Office windows.

Too bad Barr, Durham and the investigation team did not write a few really good questions for the Republican House members to ask during the “Impeachment Show.”

I think President Trump must have some very good smoke detectors.

Hope the backfire on the Obozo holdovers burns them badly.

They have a lot of support, inside and outside the White House.

You are largely correct, but in the case of sundance, he is not operating alone. That has been clear for a very long time. He is almost always way ahead of the other sources and much more accurate. And he is NOT “professional” media.

He was one of the earliest supporters of President Trump.
