I've only had time to quickly scan the executive summary, but Horowitz's statement in a couple of places is that his investigation found no testimonial or documentary evidence of political bias.

That, of course, means only that, of the various people to whom Horowitz spoke, no one flipped, and nothing incriminating was put on paper.

That leads to an extensive discussion of very significant "errors" and "omissions." Amazingly, all of these errors and omissions cut in one direction. All of them supported a course of action that, in retrospect, was illegitimate. But in the absence of explicit documentary or testimonial evidence, Horowitz would not want to conclude that the errors and omissions were coordinated or motivated by anything other than the purest of motives.

So: a coin is flipped 17 times, and comes up heads each time. But we would not want to draw any inferences from that. Errors do happen. In this case, a LOT of errors happened. All the errors were mutually reinforcing in a freakishly coincidental way. Nothing to see here. Move along.

I think Horowitz figured “they can shoot me now, or shoot me later” - so he opted for getting shot later, after Durham’s report comes out.

IG are criminals. IC IG Atkinson is the one who enable a leak from Oval Office to be converted into a "whistleblower report," and he dis so against express and binding legal finding to the contrary. An express legal finding that was created personally for him.

Horowitz is pinning his conclusion on absence of an express policy that forbids spying on a presidential campaign with thin predicate.

Wait til this guy (Horowitz) gets up in front of Congress and is 100% praised for his honorable service.

“CNN legal:

What the heck is Durham doing? Federal prosecutors aren’t supposed to make public statements in the middle of an ongoing investigation.”

Waaaaayyy. They’re not playing fair. We’re supposed to have unchallenged right to spin this stuff to help our buds.

The same Leftists who see no bias in the FBI they’ve always hated until now do not even believe in anatomical difference between men and women.

“His ‘report’ will be arrests and indictments.”

...but DC juries are likely to nullify any charges against Democrats, so a nice report may be what we get.

I hope for better, but it is going to require a very sophisticated strategy to succeed against entrenched Democrat partisans.

If there was any question about the political bias of the FBI and CIA in this matter, there's one simple fact that answers the question definitively:

The FBI and CIA were investigating members of a U.S. presidential candidate about potential wrongdoing among people involved in his campaign, and they never notified the candidate about these people to warn him.

Horowitz should be fired for this and the fact that Comey faced no charges.
the Peepee dossier was bought for by Hillary and DNC and was totally ficticious Russian lies. The Fisa court should be reformed, and people need
to be held to account for spying, lying, and trying to have a political coup on POTUS Trump.
Tweet Barr and Trump to fire Horowitz, and have the US Marshall service take over managing the FBI. Wray is another useless tool protecting the FBI from being sanitized.

With those blinders on, Horowitz is going to have his head handed to him before Congress in a couple of days. It appears he is saying the Bureau had predication to start a counter intelligence investigation when we know the entire collusion case was a fabricated hoax from the get go. Worse yet, the Bureau continued the charade for years, with some even contending to this day there was collusion. If what Horowitz is claiming is true, why did the Bureau have to make up facts and lie in their affidavits to get the FISA warrants? Once a liberal DS soldier, you never change your strips. Horowitz appears to be just another Mueller.

-- Check back in a day or three when there is a greater consensus ... --

The way all IG reports are phrased, there is something for everybody/. There will never be a consensus. The tactic is to hope for a slow burn of public anger, then settle back into complacency while the government continues unmolested and unchecked.

Great analogy. Such a ridiculous whitewash could only happen with bipartisan support. The FIBBERS know they have top cover from the GOP and produced this garbage.

Exactly. People seem to expect a “Durham Report” but there won’t be any such thing. It will be indictments or not. It seems clear that there almost certainly will be. I also very much doubt that Durham’s office would have released this statement without Barr signing off on it, either. If this Horowitz report were the end of it, I expect we’d hear very quickly from guys like Comey and Brennan who have been noticeably quiet for weeks now. My bet is that we won’t hear from them.

Sorry but wishful thinking. The GOP Senate hate Trump every bit as much as Schiff and Pelosi. They might give us some gum flapping red meat at a hearing but that is all. No substance. No FBI budget cuts. No shutting down of FISA court or removal of FBI 302 privledges. Etc., etc.

"It might mean the IG is a target of the investigation, too."
No one is above the law, starting with corrupt lying IG's.

Durham is based in Connecticut. I believe the grand jury is there.

It is rare and shows you how serious Durham and Barr are. This is the same thing that Comey did to Loretta Lynch, and we know what this led to...The IG report was never going to lead to anything because he could only quote the perps.
