The Justice Department’s in-house watchdog released a ( 476-page report) Monday that criticizes some of the FBI’s actions in beginning an investigation of the Trump campaign’s connection with Russian election meddling, but does not concludes that political bias drove the agency’s probe.
Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report does answer many questions and verifies some suspicions about the initial FBI investigation, dubbed Crossfire Hurricane.
[snip] Here are six key takeaways from Horowitz’s report.

No political bias, impeachment, give me a break! A storm is coming.
but does not conclude[] that political bias drove the agency’s probe.
The IG report merely notes that the perpetrators did not directly *document* their intent to over-ride the investigation, nor did they directly confess. The report also doesn’t give any other good explanation for their actions, and in fact cites many, many examples of actions for which it is hard to see even individually as non-biased - much less when taken together.
here’s the actual link:
His job is to interview people and write a report. Nothing more. It’s up to the DOJ to take this information and decide if there is anyone to go after.
However, based on past experience, WhoreOWitz stated that McCabe “lacked candor”{lied under oath} on multiple occasions. The US Attorney for DC declined to prosecute him. I’m as pissed off as anyone about the “damaging, epic, take them all down, damning” IG report[isn’t that how Hannity and others described it] and how WhoreOWitz uses very tame and soft language to say that they all lied and withheld evidence to support the agenda of their puppet masters.
I haven’t read the thing, nor will I, but can someone advise if he addressed the initial letter/document that was used to start all of this? Regardless of what type of an investigation occurred, has anyone seen the original document that started it? Someone had to have made a complaint of some sort. Is that addressed in this sham?
“Horowitz did not act to indite where he could, he remained toothless over-all. “
horowitz has no power to indict; he’s not a law enforcement officer, merely a government authorized investigator, limited to internal DoJ investigations ... he has no legal authority to investigate outside of the DoJ, or even obtain evidence outside the boundaries of the DoJ ...
it is now up to the DoJ to pursue a much broader investigation using actual law enforcement tools such as subpoena, grand juries, etc., which Bill Barr already has underway and which is being headed up by U.S. Attorney for Connecticut John Durham ... they and their staffs have both been traveling the world, gathering evidence ... the rubber will meet the road when they’re investigation is complete and they take their findings to grand juries ...
Horowitz can not indict anyone.
He can make criminal referrals. He did for the guy caught altering documents against Carter Page to keep him framed, Kevin Clinesmith.
AG Barr & US Attorney John Durham will take care of the rest.
Having worked with IG offices within the ic, it is normal and expected, they will identify violations of law and regulation. I have never known an IG investigation to not make referrals based on stated violations. Violations of law and regulation are referred regardless of intent.
What we are seeing here is actually NOT acceptable practice in any agency.
What has happened here AGAIN, is identification of multiple violations without referrals, and arguably a motivated form of obstruction in itself.
Biggest takeaways:
1) Carter Page was working for the CIA at the time he approached the Trump campaign, and while he was a “foreign policy advisor” to it. PAGE WAS INSERTED INTO THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN BY THE CIA.
2) Since the FBI knew that Carter Page was a CIA asset, and had worked for the FBI as well, the key assertion in the FISA application, that Page was an agent of a foreign power, was KNOWN BY THE FBI TO BE FALSE. (That is during ALL the applications, not just the last one). Without that deliberate LIE, no warrant would have been approved.
3) The IG investigation process is fatally flawed, and inbred. The deliberate omission of evidence and investigation outside the DoJ/FBI means that unless someone confesses or is stupid enough to write memos describing their own motives as nefarious, the IG is not going to find “evidence” of intent and bias. (Let’s ignore the Lisa Page-Strzok text exchange that does create a massive trail of evidence for gross bias and plotting).
I confess to not having read the entire report. I curious to know if it explains:
1) Why was the original FISA application rejected?
2) Did Horowitz analyze what was done to change the next version?
3) Were the changes contrived in a way that indicates deliberate coordination to “create” corroboration (such as having Michael Isikov publish Steele’s crap on Yahoo.com they could then pretend was independent reporting)?
“6 takeaways”
There’s that click bait headline starter again.
“The US Attorney for DC declined to prosecute him.”
One of Obama’s first acts as President was to fire all of the US Attorneys and replace them with activist progressive attorneys. As I recall, Trump did not follow this practice, choosing instead to keep Obama’s people in place.
Decisions have consequences.
When do we expect the Durham report.
My takeaways:
1. Voting doesn’t matter. The Deep State decide the winners and losers.
2. Not a single FBI person spoke up, knowing there was wrongdoing.
3. We have no freedom left when Barney Google Schiff is unaccountable and
4. We have no obligation to abide, obey, cooperate or otherwise accept this as a legitimate Congress.
Actually, when you realize there is very real voter fraud, the belief that we have a fully legitimate Congress is foolish.
The fact that the blatantly criminal thuggery and abuse by the left in nearly every aspect of government, has not been eliminated with extreme legal prejudice, can only result in accelerating the current spiral we are in, and an end to our liberty — the actual goal of the global socialists to begin with.
He cannot indict, not his job
That is up to Barr to do
Yup. But, IMHO, the President probably had no idea that he’d be up against such Anti-American subversives. It seems to me, the more he does the more proof there is that our government, on every level, is filled with greedy, lying manipulative people that have figured out a way to get rich off their positions, but at the same time hate the US and its people. As long as they’re cozy living in their DC neighborhoods and they can cash checks, that’s all that matters. Not so sure he was prepared for that.
Trumps been clear that it was way far worse than he thought possible.
Sickening to think and even worse to know that these people, for all intents and purposes, pass - implement and enforce policies and laws that affect, damn near, every aspect of our lives.
