The FBI brass must have needed hazmat suits to scrub DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on agency misconduct around the 2016 elections. The result of their mighty exertions is something like 500 pages of pasteurized tofu. I will be surprised if a new scandal does not erupt over exactly how the scrubbing went down, and I wouldn’t count out the possibility of the original unscrubbed report emerging from deep inside the FBI itself. You have to wonder how embarrassed Mr. Horowitz is, and whether he, or others seeking to defend his integrity, might do anything about it.
In any case, the report managed to whitewash or evade altogether the most troubling angles of the FBI’s role around this garbage barge of institutional roguery.
Among unanswered questions: just what were Bill Clinton and then Attorney General Loretta Lynch up to in their mysterious airport tête-à-tête July 2016, a few days before then FBI Director James Comey let Mr. Clinton’s wife, a presidential candidate, off the hook on the email server issue? How did Deputy FBI Director Andy McCabe consort with Clinton campaign bag-man and then Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe in a way that dropped nearly $700,000 into Mrs. McCabe’s own campaign war chest for a state legislative race? How did the wife of FBI higher-up Bruce Ohr get on the payroll of the Fusion GPS company that brokered the nefarious Christopher Steele “dossier?” How did the FBI conceal the Clinton campaign’s payments for the Steele dossier from judges who ruled on FISA warrants against Trump campaign associates?

Don’t lose sight of the fact that this whole exercise is the swamp policing the swamp.
What does anyone really know about Horowitz?
The report was finished at least a month ago. Plenty of time for Horowitz’s deep state masters to scrub it, especially the summary conclusions.
I pray that the original report comes out!
Will any of the Republican Congress have the guts to ask Horowitz to see the original version of his report when Horowitz appears before Congress next week?
I doubt it.
This is something I’ve commented on many times. Like two months ago, when I wrote:
“As for Donald Trump, as much as we would like to engage in constructive criticism of the man and his government, we find we no longer can. The anti-Trump echo-chamber has turned so deafening that any intelligent debate about his policies is being drowned out amid the never ending flow of fake news and half truths and innuendo and empty smears that US media continue to spout. With a brief lull when the bombs fell on Syria.
Thank you, New York Times, WaPo, CNN, MSNBC. Thank you for killing the entire discussion, thank you for killing off journalism. There is a lot to say about Trump, much of it critical, but we can no longer open our mouths. Because we don’t want to be in the same camp as you. Life in the echo chamber has given us vertigo. We had to get out.”

It won’t even matter if it does.
The only way any of this matters at all is if it’s in front of a prosecutor and a grand jury, and none of it is or ever will be.
This is a total whitewash.
America’s coup and high crimes and treason but nothing will be done about it. Liberals and #NeverTrumpers sleep easy at night.
In my read of report OIG said they were not convinced it wasn’t bias that led Strzok to shift to Trump over MYE
There’s a lot of truth to that.
I have a hard time believing someone like Obama would appoint anyone as Inspector General if he didn’t possess his divorce files, his membership card from Man Country in Chicago, the name of the DC prostitute he favors...etc.
The fact that he was appointed to an oversight position MEANS they have dirt on him, or confidence that he is a true believer.
What’s MYE?
Mid Year Exam, the code name for Clinton email investigation.
He’s a soetoro appointee that let Barry and Holder skate on Fast & Furious.
I have always enjoyned Kustler's perspective [see kunstler.com and look for "eyesore of the month" - you gotta love the guy], though I disagree with him over 1/2 the time. But he is honest in his curmudgeonly sort of way. A bit of a Luddite, but he comes by it honestly and has the right motivations - e.g. a better life and better living environmnet for the citizens who live here on planet earth.
Anyway, wiht JHK on our side, it is time for Rip van to go. Just leave. Bye. You are done here. There's nothing more for you here. You fell asleep at the switch and the train went off the rails.
