DOJ Inspector General Releases Report On FBI Conduct, Finds "Clear Abuse" Of FISA Process

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has released his report into the FBI's investigation of the Trump campaign during the 2016 US election.

The report concludes that despite nearly everybody investigating President Trump hated him - and evidence was fabricated by at least one FBI attorney, and they misrepresented Christopher Steele's credentials, none of their bias 'tainted' the investigation, and the underlying process was sound.

Attorney General William Barr says that the report "Now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken."

Have heard conflicting things about the report by Inspector General Horowitz that's supposed to drop imminently.

Rep. Devin Nunes suggested that the DOJ IG report makes clear that "Republican FISA abuse memo from February 2018 was accurate and actually understated the FISA abuse the dirty cops engaged in."

Looks like DOJ IG Report is clear that Republican FISA abuse memo from February 2018 was accurate and actually understated the FISA abuse the dirty cops engaged in.

2) Horowitz was instead asked to investigate whether FBI abused its powers as part of its probe-namely if it abused the FISA process.
