President Trump speaking live now. He says the oig report is just the tip of the iceberg.

Read the statement from attorney general Barr.

Damn...

The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken. It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump’s administration. In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source. The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory. While most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General’s report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process

Just a "nothing burger" huh?
There's more to come folks.

---> Report findings inconclusive and recommend no legal action or state given crime
---> Thread full of said party claiming its wrong, its all wrong the worlds against us
---> Sheep move onto pinning hopes on how their biased politicians interpret the report instead of the report itself

IG report determined that the FBI was not honest with the FISA process.

--Durham agress with context but not conclusion.
*Currently in an ongoing criminal investigation.

--Barr agrees with context but not conclusion.
**Currently assisting Durham.

To the ignorant this is but a show, to the would be players, the sheep.

In reality, real world issues were outlined in the IG and it isn't just "us" who disagree with the conclusion, higher up invesitgative authoraties disagree as well, take it up with them, but you'll have to wait because there criminal investigation, tied into the same issues, is still ongoing.

How foolish of you 😂

Barrs statement and Durhams together is very thrilling..

I watched Trumps response, he looked happy, like the Dems, FBI and OIG had just fallen into a big trap!

a reply to: TooCloseToTheSun
At least you have something close to right now.
At first you said that I was upset.
I am not.
Then you changed it to sad.
I am a bit sad. I am sad for you. Sad that there are people so blinded that they can read the OIG report and not see what is there.
If you are actually being honest about your take on the report.

So, basically, nothing happened.

I'm happy to hear you all waited for such groundbreaking non-news. Here are some excerpts:

Page III. On Opening the Main Investigation.

We concluded that Priestap's exercise of discretion in opening the investigation was in compliance with Department and FBI policies, and we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced his decision.

Page IV. On Opening Four Individual Investigations of Page, Manafort, Papadapoulous and Flynn.

We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the decisions to open the four individual investigations.

Page VI. On FISA of Carter Page

We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the FBI's decision to seek FISA authority on Carter Page.

Page XVII. On Usage of Confidential Human Sources and Undercover Employees.

Finally, we also found no documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivations influenced the FBI's decision to use CHSs or UCEs to interact with Trump campaign officials in the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

And a Bonus on Page II. On Steele Dossier playing no role whatever in the Predication of the Investigation

These officials, though, did not become aware of Steele's election reporting until weeks laterand we therefore determined that Steele's reports played no role in the Crossfire Hurricane opening.

Emphatic rejection, on every single point, of the Barr/Trump conspiracy that the Russia investigation - or any aspect thereof - was politically biased or motivated.

BREAKING: U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee contains TRAITORS to the United States Constitution.

During the 2016 and 2017 effort to weaponize the institutions of government against the outside candidacy of Donald Trump, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) was a participating entity.

Dianne Feinstein, Richard Burr, Mark Warner, Daniel Jones, and James Wolfe were all participants of varying degrees.

Why doesn't anyone talk about what the compromising information against Clinton was?

The same reason the content of her e-mails has never been discussed.
Attack the messenger and convince everyone to ignore the message.
Or were you being rhetorical?

That's not the primary issue, in fact, the IG is saying that the Steel Dossier is complete fiction and that the FBI used the flimsy info to start their investigation.

It also doesn't change the fact that the FBI mislead the FISA court process to spy on the Trump campaign.

*Horowitz doesn't have the power to arrest, charge or conduct warrants.

You literally misinterpreted the whole thing to look at a few lines involving political bias, lmfao.

What was Horowitz primary mission and scope???

*To investigate any FBI malfeasence, most notably the FISA process.

It was determined that yes, there was a concertive effort to illegally spy on the Trump campaign with flimsy evidence.

Sorry, but I don’t believe a damn thing written in that report, do you? What’s scary is that they’ll put this out and the masses will believe it without questioning it with the exception of a few. Nope, not buying it.
