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.

Wow. I guess Carter Paige WAS a Russian asset for four years and didn’t even know it. Who knew?

This report could lay out absolute, indisputable truth that the FBI was dirty as hell and the MSM will still say it exonerates everyone.

Sadly, that is true.

The deep state is just going to run out the clock folks. Even worst case scenario for them, another 5 years max? If the whole deep state apparatus is put on pause, 5 years is nothing for them.

Certainly this is the sentence that makes the charge directly--and the internal minions that perpetrated this treason are terrified.

The public spotlight is about to swing over them and bathe them in bright white light.

May God help that be true.

I predicted this for months, and got reamed by some FReepers. Horowitz is a Deep State puppet, always has been. Anyone who listens to the “BOMBSHELL” morons on Sean Vanity (Carter, Solomon, DiGenova, etc) are fools.

Strzok said he was too overwhelmed trying to get Trump than to look at Weiner’s Laptop.

Weiner’s laptop still hasn’t been properly analyzed. That was see No Evil Scam of a quick search setup to Fail.

There was some movie a while back that showed us how the government handles such things as these.

The assassin plotters of JFK died peacefully in their beds, and the mass media is _still_ covering up their tracks after they are dead!

Even a death-bed confession is not good enough for the MSM:

Will you do the same?

I haven't been posting about what will be in the report. I haven't seen it. Maybe it will be a "complete whitewash," although I have no reason to believe it will be. Maybe it will include half a dozen criminal referrals. I don't know. Like I said, I haven't seen it. If I had to predict I would guess it will be a lot closer to the killer end of the spectrum than a nothing burger. That comes from ignoring sources like the LA Times are paying attention to more rational sources like The Epoch Times and John Solomon.

Does anybody really expect that a liberal Jew Obama appointee whose wife is a flaming leftist will write a report that benefits Trump?

And now....

This story is all over the mainstream news, and they’re clearly giddy about it. Popping corks, even.

See my tag line.
