President Trump on Monday hailed a new report from the Justice Department inspector general, claiming it showed FBI officials attempted an “an overthrow of government” by investigating his 2016 presidential campaign.
“This was an overthrow of government, this was an attempted overthrow and a lot of people were in on it and they got caught, they got caught red-handed,” Trump said in the Cabinet Room at the White House during a roundtable event on education.
“I think I'm going to put this down as one of our great achievements. Because what we found and what we saw — never, ever should this happen again in our country,” Trump continued.
Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s lengthy report issued Monday, however, said that FBI agents were not motivated by political bias in deciding to open investigations into Trump campaign associates and aides during 2016 as part of the probe into Russian election interference, undercutting a key talking point put forth by Trump and his Republican allies.

Big Media will tell us that the Hore’s report “debunks” Trump’s “claims”.
If Barr has any integrity, he’ll fire Horowitz tomorrow.
Let’s see a few public hangings and a whole lot of long prison sentences. Otherwise it will most certainly happen again and again.
Horowitz also found that the FBI had an “authorized purpose” to launch the investigation,
That wreaks of "No reasonable prosecutor".
Totally expected. I'm waiting for Durham.
The media will play his words and put those perfectly crafted talking points of the IG next to his words for the sheeple to read...and in the end he won't get anything out of this.
Wait until after the election.
Wray says the predication for the FISA warrants was justified.
Trump should immediately summon the little weasel to the White House with the specific evidence that was used. Just the main piece. Just one.
And Wray, too.
Oh wait, Barr praised Wray.
OH yeah, The Fey Wray needs to be gone, months ago.
Sure, we’ve all known that for quite some time now. Couple years, at least. That has never been in question. The only question is, what will be the punishment? THAT is the ONLY important thing.
The report does nothing. Each side will say it proves what they want it to prove. Wash, rinse, repeat.
Don't hold your breath!
I think it was a CIA operation with assistance from the FBI.
My patience has been depleted.
I don’t think there is a pre-2020 benefit to Trump for waiting to sweep these Swamp Dwellers.
Let Barr earn his pay.
and they’re trying it again
Brennan still seems to be running the CIA.
“I think I’m going to put this down as one of our great achievements. Because what we found and what we saw — never, ever should this happen again in our country,” Trump continued.
And?
Then?
