Horowitz report expected to clear FBI of misdeeds in Russia probe
The Hill, Dec 7, 2019

The Justice Department's report that is expected to conclude that the FBI's federal investigation into potential links between Russia and President Trump's 2106 campaign wasn't politically motivated will be released Monday.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who wrote the report, is said to have found that there was enough evidence to justify the FBI wiretapping Carter Page, Trump's former campaign adviser who reportedly had contact with Russian officials multiple times.

How would this even be possible. This better be fake news.

Carter Page: Horowitz report will only tell 'part of the story'
The Hill, Dec 8, 2019

Former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page said the report from Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz expected to be released Monday will only tell “part of the story.”

Page told Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures” that he expects there to be more “exculpatory” information that is still classified that will not be in the report.

“Well, I think we’ll learn part of the story tomorrow,” Page said. “What I’ve learned from some of the leakers and the -- one of the papers of record -- a top reporter there said that, you know, there’s a lot of exculpatory information which is remaining classified, and there’s been internal battles."

“So, we’ll have to see how that all plays out,” he said.

Page also claimed in the interview that the government and reporters had targeted him because he had some ties to Russia.

The Justice Department’s internal watchdog investigation focused on whether the FBI acted appropriately in its probe, starting in July 2016, into the Trump campaign’s connections to Russia. The president and GOP lawmakers have claimed the report would show FBI wrongdoing in the investigation.

The Associated Press reported Sunday that the Horowitz report is expected to find the FBI’s investigation justified but flawed.

13 Things To Look For In The Inspector General FISA Abuse Report
The Federalist, Dec 9, 2019

Today, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz will reportedly issue his findings on the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI’s compliance (or lack thereof) with the legal requirements and internal policies and procedures related to the Carter Page Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) applications. Horowitz’s report follows a 20-month investigation into possible FISA abuse, as well as an inquiry into the DOJ and FBI’s relationship and communications with dossier author Christopher Steele, triggered by requests from then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions and members of Congress.

Horowitz’s investigation was limited in scope and thus will leave unanswered many of the questions surrounding the FBI’s targeting of the Trump campaign in the spring and summer of 2016—concerns hopefully addressed soon by Attorney General William Barr and the federal prosecutor he assigned to investigate those matters, Connecticut U.S. Attorney John Durham. But, given the breadth of the already released details indicating substantial abuse of the FISA process, the IG’s report should address a plethora of problems, some identified by then-House Intelligence Committee chairman, Devin Nunes, and many more discovered as additional facts became known while the Russia collusion hoax unraveled over the last two years.
