Former U.S. Attorney Guy Lewis predicted the Justice Department inspector general's report on alleged Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act abuses will be "hard-hitting," with multiple recommendations for prosecution.
During an interview Monday on Fox News, Lewis said he used to work with Inspector General Michael Horowitz at the Justice Department and called him as "tough as a nail." Lewis added, "He’s tough, he is smart, and I think the report will be a blockbuster." He expects Horowitz's findings to make special counsel Robert Mueller's report on Russian interference in the 2016 election "look like a sixth grade book report."
Asked to explain why, Lewis said, "It’s going to come out. It’s going to be hard-hitting. [Horowitz] spent almost two years interviewing various people — witnesses. Looking at what he describes [as] almost a million documents. And I think he’s going to make recommendations regarding prosecution and turn this whole FISA — this Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act — the submissions, I think he will turn them on their head."
British ex-spy Christopher Steele's anti-Trump dossier, which was funded by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee, was used by the FBI to obtain FISA warrants to surveil one-time Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, an American citizen who was never charged with any wrongdoing.
Republicans have argued the dossier's Democratic benefactors and its author's anti-Trump bias were left out of the FISA applications and have demanded accountability. Democrats countered that the FBI acted appropriately, saying the Justice Department and the FBI met the rigor, transparency, and evidentiary basis for probable cause.

Thank you for that.
I’ve been avoiding paying much attention to the tic-toc. I guess I’ll have to continue doing the same until, and if, something actually happens.
Yup...mistakes were made and changes have been....
Simply smashing!
Yawn.
I could swear this dumbass referred McCabe in a previous investigation.
I ain’t holding my breath...
And:
Republicans have argued the dossier's Democratic benefactors....
“Tick tock, tick tock!!”
Hannity, tomorrow.
Yep - and let’s not forget it takes time to actually gather evidence legally and get one’s ducks in a row...the Dems come up with a ‘concept” wish it was real and already proven, and then railroad convenient victims by abusing the system...we voted for a guy who wouldn’t do that.
In my lifetime?
I am appalled this has taken so long.
The stars will burn cold before we see this. A media crafted recession will sweep the GOP out, apparatchiks at the DOJ will quietly drop it, and “all will be well.”
Thanks for your sensible reply to my post, FRiend.
Of course, the time may come when the Left becomes so unhinged that there will be no alternative but to start shooting immediately.
We’re not there ... yet.
Not only a media crafted recession, but even sooner, a scheduled “mass shooting,” if this does in fact turn the heat up on the enemy.
