Report will clear FBI of misdeeds in Russia probe
LA Times ^ | 12 07 2019 | Del Quentin Wilber

Posted on 12/07/2019 1:27:05 PM PST by yesthatjallen

The Justice Department’s internal watchdog has determined that political bias did not influence the federal investigation of potential links between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016, according to people familiar with the matter, countering White House claims of deliberate partisan influence.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who will release his long-anticipated report Monday, also found that the FBI had enough evidence to justify obtaining a foreign intelligence warrant in 2016 to conduct secret surveillance of a former Trump campaign advisor who had multiple contacts with Russian officials, the people said.

The report’s findings are expected to effectively reject or dismiss the most explosive allegations from President Trump and his allies — that FBI officials and agents broke rules and laws in their pursuit of evidence, and deliberately sought to derail Trump’s candidacy.

“had enough evidence”

Of course they did. They made it all up. Then leaked it to some legal blog. And then based on those “facts”, they got their warrant.

Can’t see how Horowitz can walk out of this without finding the FBI was extremely biased.

I can. He's a deep-state rat appointed by Rosenstein.

His last "report" was a disgraceful whitewash, so why anyone would think this will be otherwise is beyond me.

The only transgressions we'll see in this "report" are those he'll be *forced* to admit.

How does LA Times know this has been determined before the report is released?

The DOJ investigated itself and said it did nothing wrong. By the way congrats to F-troop on missing the latest Saudi terrorist attack.

If this is accurate reporting It’s not going to take long before we have a unmanageable society. Nobody will trust anything the entire political class or any of the bureaucracy. They will basically be telling us it’s raining while pissing on our legs. You would think that they would see that.

It’s been 4 years since the start of all this. People have all but forgotten the leaking from the oboma administration and all the other garbage going on during and immediately after the election. Add to that everyone has been acclimated to the US intelligence agencies spying on Americans and campaigns. Just proves the old saying “Justice delayed is justice denied” is true. Now let Trump or his admin try something even remotely similar, you’ll see the msm, dems and gopE running around like the world is ending. We have to elect better people.

Here's what still bothers me. On Jan 12 2017. a few days before President Trumps inauguration, President Obama issued an Executive Order (or similar) saying all 17 intelligence agencies could talk to each other. That's a big deal if you think about Jamie Gorelick's wall.

Was that the insurance policy?

Remember, Obama said make sure he gets all the info on what is going on.

Reminiscent of F&F gun running.

I'll wait for the report but I'm not expecting much.

The Deep State will always protect its' own interests.

I suspect the bottom line will be, 'Mistakes were made'.

“He will certainly lose any reputation for honesty he may have had”. Probably not. Bob Mueller, in spite of all the filthy, lowlife thing he did in his career, still retains a rep for being a straight arrow. Ditto most of the creeps in the FBI, DOJ, CIA, etc. Those people are immune; until they someday stand trial before Christ. God has turned ALL judgement over to his Son. John 5:22

Well if they fed this info to the LA Times then yes it will be the total whitewash we feared. In fact it’s more then a whitewash they are saying there was enough smoke to justify the FBI’s scrutiny of the Trump campaign. So it becomes a vehicle to throw more suspicion on Trump. Rush was saying the Rats purposely scheduled more hearings Monday to distract attention from this release. Well if this story is true Rush was completely wrong and Horowitz being an Obongo hack is using his report to hit Trump. Typical.

How are we going to elect better people when nothing is done about voter fraud, and the FBI et al, will be spying on the campaigns of the better people?

IG Horowitz was appointed in 2012 by Obama.

Gee, does this mean that I am to ignore thousands of texts between Peter Strozk and his paramour where they discussed how to sabotage The Donald?

They are highly-competent, and ethical law-enforcement professionals who, just like the thousands of their brilliant and sober intelligence community colleagues, would NEVER, ever let their personal views influence their professional conduct. Everything they do is about protecting America. They are real heroes!!

Horowitz is a whitewash artist, it’s what he does, cover for the FBI.

The Justice Department ill clear the FBI - then the FBI will clear the Justice Department. And the deep State will clear Obama and Obama will clear the Deep State. The press will accept at face value anything any of the above groups say...

Of course the Deep State finds no fault in itself. Apparently there will be no justice.
