The Justice Department’s internal watchdog will release a highly anticipated report Monday that is expected to reject President Donald Trump’s claims that the Russia investigation was illegitimate and tainted by political bias from FBI leaders. But it is also expected to document errors during the investigation that may animate Trump supporters.
The report, as described by people familiar with its findings, is expected to conclude there was an adequate basis for opening one of the most politically sensitive investigations in FBI history and one that Trump has denounced as a witch hunt. It began in secret during Trump’s 2016 presidential run and was ultimately taken over by special counsel Robert Mueller.
The report comes as Trump faces an impeachment inquiry in Congress centered on his efforts to press Ukraine to investigate a political rival, Democrat Joe Biden — a probe the president also claims is politically biased.
Still, the release of Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s review is unlikely to quell the partisan battles that have surrounded the Russia investigation for years. It’s also not the last word: A separate internal investigation continues, overseen by Trump’s attorney general, William Barr and led by a U.S. attorney, John Durham. That investigation is criminal in nature, and Republicans may look to it to uncover wrongdoing that the inspector general wasn’t examining.
Trump told reporters Saturday that he was waiting for the chance to see Horowitz’s report and that he looked forward ``very much to seeing what happens with the Durham report, maybe even more importantly, because it’s a horrible thing that took place and it should never happen to another president.″

“Your honor, my (Democrat) client did not intend to rob the bank. Mistakes were made, but there was no intent.”
“Case dismissed. Go forth and sin no more.”
Rinse, repeat.
IG Horowitz mandate was to investigate the FISA abuse only. Russia hoax started by Brennan and five eyes assets. FBI was likely misled into getting involved but they soon continued Brennan’s set up/hoax.
Anyone expecting ANYTHING from Michael Horowitz hasn’t been paying attention. He was appointed byObama. PLEASE!
