Here are just a few points from the Horowitz report taken. Remember for those following at home, two months ago, the Durham investigation turned from a fact finding mission to a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION.
As we already know, the handflappers know very little and facts are their kryptonite. For anyone who doesn't realise, the IG has ZERO power and can't compel witnesses to speak with him, can't subpeona people and he can't convene grand juries. He has no power at all. Don't let the handflapper attempt to lie to you about the IG Report especially when they had wet dreams over Roger Stone getting raided, General Flynn forgetting if he spoke to someone about sanctions and that Manafort got caught evading tax 13 years ago. The IG has none of this power and couldn't even force former employees to be interviewed. He can't have people arrested for lying and he can't even call key players in for interviews. Again, Durham turned this into a CRIMINAL INVESTIGATOIN TWO MONTHS AGO AFTER MEETINGS WITH THE IG.
So, here are some points and remember that the IG stated the following in regard to his role as to not "second-guessing his department persononnel" . Don't let the handflappers try to hoodwink you about a lack of bias. Here he is clear about his role-
"Our role in this review was not to second-guess discretionary judgments by Department personnel about whether to open an investigation"
1) FBI heavily abused the FISA process. Presented false info and withheld exculpatory info from the court.
2) FBI used 'defensive briefings' to investigate Trump campaign officials
3) FBI relied on knowingly dubious sources for anti-Trump information
Page 361: MAJOR FISA abuse.
IG identified "numerous serious factual errors and omissions in the applications ... that undercut certain allegations in the FISA applications."
They knowingly used bad information to surveil American citizens in the Trump campaign.
Page 341: In August 2016, the FBI used a briefing with the Trump campaign as an opportunity to gather potentially relevant investigative information about Michael Flynn, a member of the Trump campaign at the time.
page 341 tells you: the FBI used a defensive briefing with the Trump campaign as a tool for an investigation into its members.
* Page 289: Peter Strzok lied to the OIG?
Strzok said he "didn’t know whether Bruce Ohr kept meeting with Steele after Steele was terminated." But Strzok’s handwritten notes show he got updates on 12/12/16, 12/20/16, and 1/23/17 regarding Ohr and Steele's ongoing communications
* Page 64. Andy McCabe kept Peter Strzok on the Crossfire Hurricane team, despite warnings. IG says there were even times Strzok (and Lisa Page) evidently bypassed chain of command to advise specifically McCabe about case related information. Red flag.
* FBI kept using Chris Steele even after he was terminated for cause. Bruce Ohr met with the FBI 13 times (!) to pass along information he had been given by Steele, who had been fired.
