As Attorney General William Barr reviews the first draft of IG Horowitz’s report on possible FISA violations, two top Republicans have dropped hints that Democrats are likely to be devastated when the results are made public.
Both Sen. Lindsey Graham and Rep. Devin Nunes discussed the investigation into how the FBI obtained warrants used to electronically surveil onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page in back-to-back interviews on Fox News’ Sunday Morning Futures.
Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, told anchor Maria Bartiromo when he expects to receive the report. “I think it probably will be around October,” the South Carolina Republican said.
It was the clearest indication yet as to when the public may get a first glimpse of the report. Republicans have expressed high expectations for former Justice Department and FBI officials to be held accountable for possible misconduct ever since Horowitz informed Congress on Sept. 13 that his team is in the “process of finalizing our report by providing a draft of our factual findings to the Department and FBI for classification determination and marking.”
Graham went on to say that, his “No. 1 goal” is to have as much of the report declassified as possible. Graham has said previously that he expects that IG Horowitz’s report will indicate that top Justice Department and FBI officials misled the FISA Court by using an unverified dossier compiled by British ex-spy Christopher Steele to obtain warrants to spy on Page.
At the tail end of their FISA discussion, Bartiromo said people she has spoken to suggest the CIA might be the “architect of this.” Before she could even finish, Graham cut in to say, “Stay tuned.”
Was that a hint that he knows something that we do not? Has he had an advance glimpse at the report?
I guess we indeed need to “stay tuned.”
What We Do Know Ahead of the Report
What we know for sure is that Barr has received the draft report from Horowitz and that he is in the process of reviewing it for redactions of classified and privileged information.
According to a letter sent to Congress earlier this month, the inspector general said his team has “reviewed over one million records and conducted over 100 interviews, including several of witnesses who only recently agreed to be interviewed.”
Horowitz and his team were tasked by Barr to “Investigate the Investigators,” and the IG has specifically been looking into how the infamous anti-Trump dossier compiled by former British spy Christopher Steele was used to secure the original Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrant for former Trump aide Carter Page, which launched the so-called “Russia Probe” in October 2016.
Horowitz’s team has questioned why the FBI considered Steele a credible source, and why the bureau seemed to use news reports to bolster Steele’s credibility.
Horowitz has indicated that once the Justice Department and the FBI send back a marked document relating to classified material, his team will “proceed with our usual process for preparing the final draft public and classified reports, and ensuring that appropriate reviews occur for accuracy and comment purposes.”
PUT ALL OF THEM BEHIND BARS FOR NOT DOING RIGHT THING AND THE DEMS NEED TO HAVE THERE POUND DRAINED .
TERM LIMITES WOULD BETTER SERVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
My nerves are absolutely out of control due to such evil Democrats. Whatever you are doing , I so greatly appreciate everything. What can I do to HELP?
Oh gee can you imagine that! yet another national socialist antifa democrat plot by the Clinton Obama crime syndicate is going to backfire on the democrats. We have seen so many of these come and go now.
Remember the me too movement that started out trying to destroy the supreme court nominee lying feminists were coming out of the wood work making up fake charges. Then the real sex abuse cases started showing up and guess what? Democrat after democrat went to jail and some got murdered there so they would not talk.
The Democrats thought that the president telling the Ukraine we are not going to engage in corruption like Biden and Obama did was an impeachable offense. Big news everywhere right! Then the Ukraine validates Trumps story and Ooooppies the Democrats shoot themselves in the foot again. Turns out Biden ad Obama engages in corruption, the investigation of Hunter Biden in the Ukraine is back on, and Obama and Biden need to be investigated for conspiracy.
There is the fake Environmentalist Crisis so roundly supported by the democrats. Whats the fake environmental issue of the year: no more water, Ozone layer, more more oil, no more ice, no more penguins, carbon credits, no more polar bears, Ocean raising 5 feet, global warming, climate change. All of them turned out to be a lie yet democrats still push them. the democrats are hoping to collect more taxes because of them. Yet you stupid fools still believe like it is some sort of religion. Bless us oh climate change for we have sinned. take our money as penitence for our evil doing. Don’t look at China, India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, or Indonesia for they are uninformed and know not what they do oh great god of climate change. You dumb shits.
The democrats were agaisn the equal rights laws in the 1940’s and 1950’s. They were against the affirmative action laws, but they have managed to convince most minorities they are on the side of the minorities Every time we have a democrat president and congress minorities do worse. Every time we have a republican president and congress minorities do better. Yet some how you idiots still vote democrat.
Even the abortion issue has gone from a needed medical change to a bizarre murderous act. First trimester abortions make sense. Second and third if the mothers life is truly in peril. Abortion right before the babies air tube is cleaned out for its first breath is murder and wee all know that. It is not up for debate. Yet the democrats are 100% in favor of that. Oddly enough they are not in favor of the mans right to choose and support women suing men for child support. What happen to the guys right to choose? People who vote democrat of stupid.
The feminists are constantly talking about rape and women’s rights. they always back the democrats. Yet Clinton raped and abused a lot of women and the feminists didn’t mind that. Just another fake democrat group trying to come of with some bizarre version of ethics that will make the democrats look good. If you vote democrat you are stupid.
The national socialist antifa democrats are continuously doing these corrupt things and then trying to claim the republicans are lying evil people. Yet every time it turns out that the national socialist antifa democrats are the sleazy evil scum. Always trying to con the voters into democrat party isn’t the sleazy greedy scum they are.
At this point anyone and I mean anyone voting democrat should be charged with a crime. Only a criminal would support a criminal organization like the democrats. If you vote democrat you are stupid.
You are 1000% correct..But the “problem” (if you will) Is people do not like to think they are idiots(even though the evidence is clear) . I have spoken to those kind of “I am a democrat no matter what” fools who get screwed over EVERY time a democrat is involved in anything to do with their local issues. The places they live in have rapidly become crap holes,but, “they are democrats” so it does not matter. If they should be a victim of criminals they will NEVER put the blame where it belongs because “they are democrats”. I know, as do you, that this is insane. But ,unfortunately,”they” refuse to see because they are democrats !
Good “tongue in cheek”humor being honest about the stupidity of popular culture and the Democrats.In schools and universities it is time to get rid of social studies indoctrination about sex,the environment,feminism,racism and begin to teach students history,anthropology,culture,literature-a classical education in other words. Schools should be teaching the questioning process to enable students to think for themselves rather than being indoctrinated with post-modern ideology.
great article your right on all counts
Very well put could not have said it better myself
To Laughin atyou: You are so correct on EVERY count! Never stop saying the truth!
Aman brother…..
Amen brother!!
i’m consistently AMAZED that they can hold ANY constituency at all. what is wrong with me that I keep thinking they are going to wake up?
This is an attempt to shield Biden and his son Hunter. The Dems know their field of Candidates are weak and there are way too many of them. The DNC fears that it will take the public way too much time to actually chose one of the top 6 and there won’t be enough campaign time for the chosen one before the election. Then there is the Video and sound source that has old Joe Biden THREATENING the Ukrainian leader a few years back over the prosecutor and the possibility of an investigation into the company his son is involved with.
It is NOT a question of if that prosecutor was disliked by others at that time, that is NOT the question AT ALL. The issue is that NO senior US elected Official can come into a country, like Ukraine, and dictate they fire, terminate or hire one of their senior officials, even if the person was in some-one’s opinion corrupt or ineffective, at the pleasure of the US official. That is NOT what US government officials do – dictate terms outside of the formal agreements the president makes. Obama indicated Ukraine would get about a Billion dollars of AID, Biden had NO business going over there to DICTATE that unless that prosecutor was removed within 6 hours they would NOT get the aid. Biden demanded it be done within 6 hours or before he left. This is a CLEAR violation which NONE of the news agencies have picked up on. The video was aired once many months ago and if you were not at the right time and place to see this video of Biden BRAGGING about how tough he was – you would have Never seen it, (this is how the news media is Horribly corrupt themselves).
It is not known when President Trump found out about this. There’s tons of speculation – just listen to the NBC, ABC, CBS and CNN news anchors- that’s all they do is speculate. NO real clear date on when this incident became known at the White House.
President Trump DOES have the right to go to the source, when time permits, and ask if what he heard was accurate and correct.
The Democrats are pissed that he asked and found out, now all of us are aware of the video, the sound bites and the letter written by three Prominent Democratic Senators back on May 4th of 2018 telling the Ukrainian leader – then- that they want his cooperation on digging up dirt on Trump for the Mueller investigation, please look it up, and if the Ukrainian leader did NOT follow through with their request, see the second page of the letter, they indicated in that letter that they would NO Longer support and additional aid to Ukraine. Now all of this has the Ukrainians spooked. They are in the middle of a war with Russia. Will the US provide aid in their defense? That is why you hear on the NBC and ABC broadcasts the various former representatives and the current leader of Ukraine say they do not want to be in the middle of this fight, they know the Dems are in control of the House and the appropriations and they want to believe our President. ABC and NBC has already gone over there to interview and record a story. What most everyone of us here in the United States saw was worry and concern. NBC specifically edited the video to show and support their version that they, the Ukrainians, also do not want to have anything to do with Trump, (again the story is mis-leading and this is NBC’s stock in trade).
Note: NBC has NOT ever mentioned the letter from the three Dem Senators and they have NOT rerun the video or sound bite of Biden Threatening the Ukrainian Leader from a few years ago.
Why? They again are protecting Biden, Clinton and Obama-his legacy, the global order and the DNC.
The DNC is very worried about losing this 2020 election, they have no one else but Joe. If they lose this election it will set the “global order” back decades.
Trump is right, free societies and Free and sovereign nations all working together for a common good is what is the key to a peaceful planet. This should be the goal no matter how tough it will be to get there.
My experience is that most entitled dem’s are so lazy they expect someone to vote for them, rather than go to the polls themselves. Oh, wait… somebody DOES vote for them, even after they’re dead. And since Dead People are not too good about keeping their ID’s, dem’s must fight Tooth and Nail to make sure ID’s will never be required.
Oh, and to restate the obvious to dem’s about elections: When the other side wins, in spite of your cheating BS, you STFU and get on with the business of RUNNING THE COUNTRY!
Ah, but screw the principles Our Country was built upon, lying socialist dem’s must win at any cost!
Thank you Sir for your Welcome discourse on the typical BS the dem’s – and their Partners in Corruption, the Lying MEdia – throw. I for one am getting damned fed up with it. My prayers are that Trump wins by a MASSIVE majority in 2020 just to send that signal to the dem’s.
Guilty people must go to PRISON.
The following needs to pay for their crimes ! Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Brennan, Susan Rice, James Clapper, McCabe. Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Bruce Ohr, Nellie Ohr, Loretta Lynch, Sally Yates, Glenn Simpson, and Obama. If these folks do not pay for their crimes we no longer have democracy.
I agree. dear God please make all of those evil people com to they censes and do what is right for country an all of people. it is my opinion that our president has don a lot good for America, and I believe that he loves our county.
This is absolutely right on! Anyone who votes Democrat is a criminal just like the criminal politicians (Dems) that are trying to make this a Socialist Country! If the Democrats win we will definitely be in the end times!
Thank you, laughing at you. ??
Great response!
Why haven’t they put these come and go bastards in prison yet? Clinton, Ohomo and anyone else doing this crap. If none of them are above the law then WHY aren’t they already in prison??? Because IMPORTANT bastards will never serve time in jail right? So they ARE above the law.
I agree 100%!!!!!!!!
I agree that if you vote for a Democrat, you are stupid.
