WASHINGTON A highly anticipated report by the Justice Departments inspector general is expected to sharply criticize lower-level F.B.I. officials as well as bureau leaders involved in the early stages of the Trump-Russia investigation, but to absolve the top ranks of abusing their powers out of bias against President Trump, according to people briefed on a draft.
Investigators for the inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, uncovered errors and omissions in documents related to the wiretapping of a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page including that a low-level lawyer, Kevin Clinesmith, altered an email that officials used to prepare to seek court approval to renew the wiretap, the people said.
More broadly, Mr. Horowitzs report, to be made public on Dec. 9, portrays the overall effort to seek the wiretap order and its renewals as sloppy and unprofessional, according to the people familiar with it. He will also sharply criticize as careless one of the F.B.I. case agents in New York handling the matter, they said.

Nothing will happen unless Trump is reelected in 2020..there just hoping he loses and it will all go away..
The IG report does nothing to get them in jail.or at least on trial
They may fire a few people big deadl..they will still get there retirement???
NYT likely does not know. I do know that there is another IG and other SP who are anonymous to help keep these folks straight. We shall see. If Horowitz tries to cover up he could be in real trouble himself.
Our only hope is the Durham report!
EXACTLY what I expected. Horowitz IS ONE of THEM!
This report, in the end, will give cover to the FBI. Pinning it on someone WAY down the COC.
Yeah, some low level FBI guy stole some Office Supplies that included a Pen and Sticky Notes used by Peter whatshisname, Stroke?
no one should have expected differently...these guys are pros at covering their tracks...
The Barr and Durham investigation is where the rubber will meet the road. Horowitz is worthless, he has no power to indict anyone.
It’s been repeatedly many times lately that that Barr made IG Horowitz go back and investigate again. That was the reason for the many delays. This time it been reported he ended up with multiple criminal referrals. The New York Times is indicating nothing resembling criminal referrals. I’m going with Trump’s statement this morning. He knows the truth. Even Geraldo on Hannity Radio just said the IG Report is the beginning of the end for the deep state.
“absolve the top ranks of abusing their powers out of bias”
Well, it’s not the IG’s job to determine their motivation. Leave that to the jury.
Meant ‘repeated’.
no one should have expected differently...these guys are pros at covering their tracks...
Deep Staters keep f*’n with the people and something is going to snap. The people are only going to take just so much. Clean up your house or have it cleaned for you.
The American justice system is a scheme to enrich lawyers. It should be called the “just u”s system.
Horowitz showed his colors the last time. His actions in gathering fig leaves to cover FBI DOJ were unbelievable.
“all real investigations are held up for years while the IG determines...”
There’s actually no reason that they have to be. Remember that FBI agent a few months back who got busted for leaking?
There was no IG investigation, no endless delays, arguments about redacting reports, etc. They fired him and indicted him within 3 months of discovering what he did. So they can work surprisingly fast, when they want to.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Yes, I will believe that Obama appointee Horowitz is really going after his fellow Obama appointees when I see it.
In fact, bring on impeachment because all the truth behind the coup is covered up.
Agree with the Horowitz statement!
“Hope and Pray” your faith in Barr and Durham is fruitful!
Have NO FAITH in any of our government officials, any of the alphabet groups anyway. fbi, cia, dea, etc, etc!
Personal interactions with fbi and dea prove that!!!
PS was not biased??? FO NYT
