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

Posted on 12/07/2019 1:27:05 PM PST by yesthatjallen

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.

Can you say, “White wash?” I knew you could. All these well-fed government hacks are mortally afraid of exposing Obama, Hillary and the FBI, for good reason.

Amazing how many freepers still believe whatever LA Times-WaPo-NYT-CNN tell them. Should the IG FISA report turn out to be a killer I wonder how many nothing burger salespeople will report back with apologies for implying that Trump/Barr/Horowitz et al are nothing but deep state lackies who will never expose the truth.

How are we going to elect better people when nothing is done about voter fraud

I don't have an answer to that. The only thing that would do it is overwhelming numbers, but that seems impossible in this polarized society. Just like the politicians want it.

Even if true, so what? Trump is still President, and will be re-elected.

What will you do when it comes back as a complete whitewash just like all, and I mean every sing one, of the IG reports have?

....and what about the 104 criminal and administrative referrals that are resulting from the IG investigation? Was that just fake news? The LA Slimes is as bad as the New York Slimes. They thrive on leaked fake news, they are lying sleazy left wing SCUM.

I’m with you! We will all know soon enough. I personally think there will be a tremendous amount of conjecture and disassembling of what will be in the report. Barr and zDurham are the ones we should hang our hats on...in my opinion.

Let us then eliminate right now this pointless and corrupt position of “Inspector General”.

What a joke. Ha ha.

Complete BS.... Fake News!!!

Lord, I hope you’re right. There’s a lot of cynicism and skepticism here, which is understandable given how many times we’ve been let down. Please let this report be a “devastating” “bombshell”. Even I am containing any high hopes here.

Because these are the same sources that have been used to leak thousands of things over the last few years. My god, they even got the transcripts of Trump calls with other world leaders.

yes.

Horowitz already did this once. Remember the HIllary investigation? He ignored all the bias evidence. Unless he found an email that said “I’m doing this because I’m politically biased” he says there is no evidence of political bias.

Why should Whore-O-Witz care if he loses his reputation with us?

His DeepState buddies will be high-fiving him until his retirement.

And they also lie like rugs. Do you have a magic means of determining when it’s real or when they’re just trying to give us a wild hair.

Sure. This is a leak from the actual report.

And yes, I figured Horowitz would fold. He delayed this vaunted "report" how many times? And why? So the thugs in the Department of Injustice and Federal Bureau of Injustice could "adjust" it.

I said before Bob - if there was real justice on the Deep State clowns, traitors, coup plotters, and D.C. criminals, I would jump up and down for joy.

But they will skate. They always do.

Bullstalin.

The FIBBERs had more contempt for Donald Trump voters than they even have for Trump himself.

This is not about any crimes, it is about sour grape partisanship.
