Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today announced that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will testify before the Committee on Wednesday, December 11, 2019.
The Inspector General will discuss the findings of his investigation into DOJ and FBI’s conduct during the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant process as it relates to the 2016 presidential election.
Considering the end of the principal review phase on Friday November 22nd; and considering the Thanksgiving holiday of November 28th; this likely puts the publication date for the report on/around Monday December 2nd, with testimony the following week.
It is possible the FISA report release, and the 12/11 Horowitz senate testimony will come at the same time the House of Representatives moves the impeachment inquiry into the House Judiciary Committee. According to the Pelosi calendar the last day for the House of Representative is Thursday December 12th.
Happy Chanukah everybody
What’s with the weird formatting on FR?
IMPEACH. /S
This is going to supersede everything the House is doing because their impeachment inquiry is part of the crimes from the FISA and other scandals.
One thing I think about is the Supreme Court and Ruthie. If she passes, there can be no nomination until the "trial" is over.
Then there's budget matters.
They likely want to kill the economy...so I think we're going to see them change their game.
they will impeach him before then
As he walks up to the desk to testify, he slams down a rope noose on to the table. Left triggered into passing out. Nice.
Awesome, now we can get a live version of the nothing burger and won’t have to wait for the book version.
In the book: so and so will have done something deeply wrong. BUT nothing more than a written tongue lashing will be recommended and certainly not any referrals for prosecution.
Deep State investigating the Deep State?!?! Suckers!!!
Being set up for a let down. Wait and see...
I don’t believe so. Barr has been traveling the world to put it all together.
I imagine it will be like the IRS scandal. We accidentally made some mistakes and let’s see how we can improve and never let it happen again. Hate to be negative, but there is always hope.
2.) The impeachment trial shouldn't take any longer than the Monty Python scene, since there is even less evidence.
Being set up for a let down. Wait and see...
I’m just reading the tea leaves. Barr has had advance knowledge of this report for months and its basic contents. Barr then approved the Durham request to move into its criminal phase. Barr’s talk the other day gave an ominous account of what he believes to be a virtual and partisan coup d’etat against the Executive branch of government and its Constitutional foundations.
Maybe I’m misreading this but I have to think that something is coming down soon that will change the narrative.
Yes, then they can play the narrative that the IG, Barr and Trump are just being vindictive against those who impeached him and there is no substance to the IG report.
Impeachment was declaration of war and start of hostilities by Democrats.
No going back now.
Its high stakes, for all the marbles and to the death, perhaps literally in todays toxic, criminal, insane, lawless and hate filled political environment.
Key players like Trump and Barr have no choice but to move forward because if they lose, they will dealt with harshly and without mercy.
They are very brave people
No they won’t because they have nothing to . Their inquiry is threatened on all sides by many things. A few Democrats are getting chicken too. Take the handwringing elsewhere.
But it won’t work because the evidence against them is overwhelming.
“There is no way these scum skate after all they have put the country through”
I used to believe that, too.
