Just read the first few pages, and it does appear to be true. The point relates to the question of whether the opening of Crossfire Hurricane was determined by political bias. Horowitz argues that Lisa Page had no involvement on the decision to open or not. Strozk did have some involvement in the decision making process, but he was not the sole decider, or even the most senior level person required to sign off on it. Priestap was senior to him and - I presume - had the final word. Horowitz concludes that, aside from Strozk, there were no others involved in the decision to open the investigation that exhibited a politically biased motivation.
This only relates to the decision to open the investigation - nothing more. It says nothing on whether political bias motivated other decisions or actions that were taken once the investigation was opened. Still reading.

Massive counterintel investigation against political campaign of opposing party was started solely on tip from foreign gov’t, nothing else, IG says. W/in days, 4 campaign officials targeted, picked because they’d been to Russia or talked to Russians. Wow does this look flimsy.
yes and FNC just reported that John Durham disagrees
In short, with relation to opening the investigation, but Strozk and Page exhibited political bias, but they were not integral players in the decision as to whether or not to open the investigation. Page was not part of the process, and Strozk, was part of the team who decided to open, but was not the only or senior member required to sign off.
The decision to open was ostensibly based on a communication from an FFG (Foreign Friendly Government) that then Trump campaign foreign policy advisor George Papadopoulos “suggested the Trump team had received some kind of suggestion from Russia that it could assist this process with the anonymous release of information during the campaign that would be damaging to Mrs. Clinton”.
Thanks to both of you and others for taking the time to read the report. Some of the ignorant comments made on this thread that came out within minutes of the reports release show those posters did not read the report or even skim it. Unfortunately, it’s a growing number of posters on FR.
