IG report reveals FBI misconduct and abuses in anti-Trump probe of Russia collusion hoax
Fox News ^ | December 10 2019 | Gregg Jarrett

It turns out that the most revealing aspect of the long-awaited Justice Department’s inspector general’s report on the origins of the Russia collusion hoax comes from Attorney General William Barr’s damning assessment of it.

In unmistakably terse language, Barr denounced “a small group of now-former FBI officials” for their “misconduct,” “malfeasance and misfeasance,” and “clear abuse of the FISA process.”

Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz, issued a 476-page report Monday that broadly examined: (1) how and why the FBI initiated an investigation of candidate Donald Trump and his campaign in July 2016; and (2) the decision to seek a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant to surveil a Trump campaign associate.

I disagree. Quite a number of truly terrible things will be happening to a whole bunch of folks. They may think they “got away” but the repercussions of their “getting away” will produce truly terrible events.

We were Comey’d again! No political bias? If the elected or appointed officials in the end pic off low hanging fruit instead of a full scale assault on the entire machine, we the people may be the only hope

From Paul Sperry:

This guy, David Laufman, signed off on all the shenanigans in the Hillary email investigation & the Trump-Russia investigation as head of C.I. at DOJ. He sat in on Hillary interview. He's an Obama holdover & an Obama donor. He's now on MSNBC bashing Durham

And if you think about timing on this, you likely want to prosecute after a Trump 2020 victory, else it looks like political persecution, and if Trump loses in 2020 this prosecution would end immediately, so he wins in 202 and you got 4 years to lock them up.

“a small group of now-former FBI officials” for their “misconduct,”

Another “rogue agents” claim. These bums HEADED the investigations into Hitlery and Trump.

Remember that the agents said that President Obama wanted to be kept in the loop with what was happening in these investigations. Doesn’t sound very independent to me. It was run by the White House.
