As the White House reels, and the press swarms like angry bees around the Impeachment Inquiry of President Donald Trump, many have forgotten that the draft report on potential abuse by FISA by IG Horowitz remains in review, and now set to be released by “the end of this week.”
Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo says the report by Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz is expected to be published on Friday, October 18th, and she says her sources expect it to cover “more than just FISA abuse.”
Bartiromo tweeted this thing is “as thick as a phone book.”
As the Washington Examiner reports, “it has been exactly one month since Horowitz announced the completion of the investigation by his team, who pored over more than 1 million records and conducted 100-plus interviews. The inspector general gave a draft to the Justice Department and FBI for a classification review. Upon the completion of that process, the report will first be delivered to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham, who has pledged to do a “deep dive” of his own into FISA that will run concurrently with U.S. Attorney John Durham’s review of the early stages of the Russia investigation. The South Carolina Republican said his “No. 1 goal” is to have as much of the report declassified as possible.”
Last week, U.S. District Judge John Bates praised IG Horowitz for what he said was a thorough job, and what he expects to be a “fair and accurate” report.
“I expect a very thorough report — a very fair report from Michael Horowitz. He’s a good inspector general. He’s careful,” Bates said. Bates added later that he expects the report to be “pretty lengthy.”
Bates’ assessment of Horowitz bolsters the watchdog’s credibility at a time when he will find himself yet again at the center of a political firestorm when the FISA report is released to the public next week, if Bartiromo’s sources are accurate.
Horowitz Has Already Taken Fire
Bates’ compliments of Horowitz ahead of the report’s release come as the IG’s integrity has already been called into question, most notably by someone mentioned in his probe — disgraced former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. McCabe was fired last year after a report from Horowitz found that he made unauthorized disclosures to the media and misled investigators. In a legal fight against the Justice Department over his ouster, McCabe’s lawyers slammed Horowitz’s report as being “deeply flawed.”
Horowitz has been talking with U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is handling any criminal referrals from the investigation. As to what exactly the report says, Bates could not guess. Despite the rumors of a coming bombshell that could hit Democrats hard, “I don’t have a prediction for whether he is going to find fault and mistakes or worse and at what levels. Because remember that the sign-offs on these applications in the Department of Justice and the FBI were pretty high levels,” he said.
I hope this is right. I want to see some of those traitors in prison garb!
Finally we are going to see justice for the “other side”!! It has been a sideshow these past three years with most of us knowing that the whole Fisa issue was flagrantly an effort to unseat the duly elected president. It was their “insurance policy” if by some mistake he would win the election. Please continue to investigate this injustice to President Trump and to us the American People!!
VOTE RED …If it weren’t for President Obama we might not have done the intelligence community assessment that we did that set up a whole sequence of events which are still unfolding today including Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation. President Obama is responsible for that. It was he who tasked us to do that intelligence community assessment in the first place. CLAPPER’S OWN CONFESSION

Clean the swamp.its about time someone is doing something about the corruption in our government.thank you and God bless America
It is long past due for justice to be served upon all in our government officials who think they can do whatever they want to fill their greedy pockets and gain more and more control over the American people. Many are traitors to America the country that gave them their wealth but wealth is not enough for them they are now wanting full control over everything. They want to be a sitting group of Dictators. We all know what America used to do with Traitors, right now our biggest enemies are within our own borders and they vowed to take care of America and her people above all else, they LIED! They deserve to have the fullest sentence that we can give them. Death to traitors or at the least a dark smelly prison cell for the rest of their lives and all of their wealth confiscated and returned to we the people who they stole it from in the first place. None should be excused not even past Presidents.
I’m not counting on anything until I actually see it going down! These things have been over blown before and nothing happens, or its not as devastating as they make it. Someone, somewhere white washes it despite we the people knowing Democrats conspired and are as corrupt at they come because of their hatred of Trump and that they lost! If they don’t prosecute many of the dirty, lying, scheming scum bags -law and order will never prevail. It will prove what we’ve known all along 2 sets of laws one for the common man and another for Washington beaurocrats.
