The Horowitz report was carefully crafted so those pouring over it can take away from it whatever proclivities they may harbor. An accurate assessment of it (not mine) is the report is the Rorschach (test) ... it is open to interpretation and can be whatever you want to read into it.

And that is basically the point I have made. It gave the GOP meat to feed their base - and the DNC and the media talking points - which Feinstein used in her opening remarks. And THAT is why I kept trying to convince FReepers it was a whitewash. Just because something has a bit of truth in it doesn't mean it isn't a whitewash.

When I was in the military and working on the occasional accident (or other) investigation - I saw this same scenario unfold: throw some middle management under the bus and let the higher ranks go free. Field grade officers were expendable. Flag officers were not.
