OIG Report on FISA Abuse Released

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.

Um...no:

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

Prediction: Despite the Q-LARPing and tick tocking there will be no meaningful charges filed against anyone.

Who wants to bet me? I'll even give you better than 50/50 odds.

I will bet you $1,000. Right now.

Durham is coming for them. I'm just not sure how far he will be able to take it. Best case is Barry goes down too.

Hanniy promised us people would be going to jail! whats going on!

Patience, dear. Horowitz has ZERO power to do anything but write a report. No power to indict, arrest,m impanel grand juries, etc. In fact he has no power to compel testimony from non DOJ employees (even x-employees).

The actual 'action' is and always has been with Durham.

Steeles reports, which were more than one, is not the same as the Steele dossier that predicated the investigation.

Done. I expect to be paid when no one of any consequence gets indicted.

The IG report is referring to the dossier as Steele's reports.

Likewise, I expect to be paid when someone (or more) are indicted.

Easy money... if you are honest.

I'd say you made a good bet.

Klinesmith, at the very least, will probably be charged.

This is about as interesting as it will get. If anyone gets indicted it will be low level potatoes, no one of any consequence will see a court room.

he report, which spans hundreds of pages, is expected to conclude that the top FBI officials running the Russia investigation were not tainted by political bias and that they had adequate cause to open a probe ahead of the 2016 election, according to people familiar with drafts of the document.

????? Or the the FBI did their jobs with issues but free of political bias?

That is not what Horowitz found.
The only area that he concluded their was no evidence of political bias was in the OPENING of the investigation.
His reasoning for that is because there was no txt messages or emails like the ones found on Strzok linked to the person who actually initiated the investigation.
Horowitz said today that his comments on political bias does not extend to the FISA process.

Amazingly, small (but important?) changes were made to I.G. Horowitz's FISA-abuse report today...2 days after it was published.

Apparently, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions set a "Leak Trap" that today's IG Report modifications reveal, according to:

But boy was Horowitz replies extremely damning and he was very careful in his words, AND still damning to the extreme.

The guy who changed Page's relationship with the CIA in an email from yes to no is going to jail for a start, AND that is the ball just starting to roll.

Holy crap! can the left just agree on this one thing?

Yes. I wish I had the time to read and study the report, but thankfully there are enough decent truth seekers out there doing just that that I don't have to do it myself.

Bongino has gone through it with a fine tooth comb, and regardless of the weak carefully worded 'conclusions' in the summary, the actual facts in the report are extremely damning, far worse than I expected.

Exactly.

KAG 2020, and again in 2024 and 2028 (Don Jr)!
