My point, as has been the point of many others, is that we have known since day 1 what this entire thing (the FISA business) was. This report is trying to tell us it is something else. It is trying to tell us "yeah - there are some bad people - but the guys at the top acted in good faith" when we know that is not the truth. That is the very definition of a whitewash. It whitewashes the swamp.
The report goes out of its way to protect the big creatures in the swamp and sacrifices the little crickets. That's not "knee-jerk reactions" - that is EXACTLY what has been predicted on this site by man for months.
As far as white washing is concerned, I wouldn’t go that far. Disappointing - sure, but not that unexpected. On the issues you cited, I would describe them more as a punt rather than a white wash. The ball is now in Durham’s hands, and he’s in a much better position to determine intent than Horowitz ever was. The smoking gun evidence that might irrefutably reveal the fraudulent intent on the part of the decision makers is much more accessible to Durham than Horowitz.
