Yes indeed.
Crimes have been committed.
Does the DOJ have the gumption to move forward?

On NBC News this morning, they said their were “Multiple Mistakes, some intentional...”

Um... in preparing a FISA warrant application, an “intentional error” is NOT a “mistake”. It’s a crime.

I listened to the entire Senate interview with Horowitz and discovered that he was very careful in his word choices..ie politically correct, and that he leans whichever way the wind blows. He seems to be very sympathetic toward democrat sentiments.
He was politically correct in that he would not call spying..spying, or lying, lying. Therefore his report lacked the serious impact it should have had.
The Senate hearing lacked the high pitched ranchor and tension frequently found in House hearings.
What went on in the government institutions was horrendous but Horowitzs report had the effect of watering it down. It’s easy to see why Barr was so outspoken in his assessment of the conclusions. In the end, it’s all words until followed up with actual action and holding thr traitors accountable.
