Report will clear FBI of misdeeds in Russia probe
LA Times ^ | 12 07 2019 | Del Quentin Wilber

The Justice Department’s internal watchdog has determined that political bias did not influence the federal investigation of potential links between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016, according to people familiar with the matter, countering White House claims of deliberate partisan influence.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who will release his long-anticipated report Monday, also found that the FBI had enough evidence to justify obtaining a foreign intelligence warrant in 2016 to conduct secret surveillance of a former Trump campaign advisor who had multiple contacts with Russian officials, the people said.

The report’s findings are expected to effectively reject or dismiss the most explosive allegations from President Trump and his allies — that FBI officials and agents broke rules and laws in their pursuit of evidence, and deliberately sought to derail Trump’s candidacy.

No, but I would expect him to be truthful and actually do his job—which isn’t to whitewash crimes.

It’s an ethical and moral breach, and goes against his oath of office.

"people familiar with the matter"

We trust them because swamp lawyers representing swamp clients and being paid many, many dollars to keep them out of prison can always be depended on to leak only accurate information?

This government has run its course. This Republic is past its peak. What goes on further is not going to get better.

"according to people familiar with the matter"

This is what lawyers who represent clients are paid to say.

I'm reserving judgment until the report is released and reviewed by a trusted lawyer (not one working for the FBI or the MSM).

They are too busy working on ways to sandbag Trump.

I think Epstein’s murder was a powerful message to the powers that be from the Deep State. Looks like it may have worked.

When I am King I am going to outlaw the use of the term “misdeed”.

Crimes, up to and including treason ARE NOT MISDEEDS.
