Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is set to testify Wednesday about his findings that the FBI investigation of President Trump’s 2016 campaign featured “serious performance failures” but was not motivated by political bias.

The inspector general is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee two days after releasing a 434-page report analyzing the FBI investigation, launched in the summer of 2016 to determine if anyone in the Trump campaign was conspiring with Russia to interfere in the presidential election.

The report has exposed major disagreements among Trump, Attorney General William P. Barr, FBI Director Christopher A. Wray and Horowitz, and lawmakers are likely to press the inspector general further on the areas where there are disputes.

Don't know why it is taking multiple reporters to do these articles.

However, overall it appears the compost's normal blatant bias is missing.

No political bias? What a ludicrous statement.

“serious performance failures”

The coup didn’t succeed.

but was not motivated by political bias.

But that's the Bezos Post's take on it.

As I read it, Horowitz couldn't PROVE it was motivated by political bias. But that wasn't his job.

That would be up to a jury.

I can just imagine the testimony —

“Mr. Horowitz, you found no political bias?”
“I did not.”
“What could have changed your opinion on that? What would you consider evidence of political bias?”
“If someone had said, ‘I was politically biased’ that would have led me to a different conclusion.”
“But no one said that?”
“They did not.”
“So there was no political bias.”
“That is correct.”

I don’t care that he couldn’t find a political motive for the START of the process. He certainly uncovered multiple felonies during the “investigation” itself.

The ‘bias’ farce is immaterial to the govt’s criminal illegality, but we’ve seen which side of that coin the Leftist MSM (I repeat myself) have chosen to highlight
