Another Lie debunked-IG report concludes FBI did not spy on trump campaign

IG Horowitz Doesn’t Rule Out Political Bias May Have Played Role in FISA Abuse.

Can't Rule Out Bias​

Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz admited during Wednesday’s Senate Judiciary hearings that political bias could have played a role in the abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) process to surveil President Trump campaign staffer Carter Page.

Horowitz concluded that political bias didn’t play a role in the FBI’s decision to START an investigation into potential Russian involvement in the Trump campaign, and he's using a very agency friendly standard that requires an open admission of bias by those he interviewed.

Horowitz admitted:

“I think it’s fair for people to sit there and look at all of these 17 events and wonder how it could be purely incompetence.”
​

Every one of the 17 area horrific misdeeds worked against Trump, and each was committed by folks who had either declared their hatred of Trump their great fear of his presidency. That's clear and convincing evidence of bias, so of course Horowitz cannot rule it out, it's the most obvious explanation.

After being questioned by Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah), the inspector general also said he couldn’t rule out bias in later stages of the FBI’s investigation.

“As to the opening of the probe, which is in a different place than the FISA issues that you have identified and I talked about earlier, I think it is two different situations. On the FISA side, we found, as you noted, a lack of documentary and testimonial evidence about intentionality, but we noted the lack of satisfactory explanations, and in fact, leave open the possibility, for the reasons you indicated, it is unclear what the motivations were. On the one hand, gross incompetence, negligence; on the other hand intentionality, and we’re in between—we weren’t in a position with the evidence we had, to make that conclusion, but we are not ruling it out,” Horowitz replied.​

Given he agency friendly standards he must use, he can't go any further. Durham, on the other hand, is free to draw the obvious conclusion and there is overwhelming evidence for it.

Lee then asked: “The lack of evidence here is not evidence that there is no bias.” Horowitz replied: “I am solely basing it—correct—on the actual evidence that we have.”
​

Nobody that he interviewed admitted to it. That's all Horowitz can say about it.

Horowitz said that fraudulent evidence was used in the FISA warrants.

“So the men and women at home need to know what’s happening,” Cruz said. “A lawyer at the FBI creates fraudulent evidence, alters an email, that is in turn used for the basis of a sworn statement to the court that the court relies on. Am I stating that accurately? “

“That’s correct,” Horowitz answered. “That is what occurred.”

Regarding a prosecution for perjury, Horowitz stated that “they certainly would be considered for that if there was an intentional effort to deceive the court.”
​

Both Attorney General William Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is carrying out a criminal investigation into the FBI’s conduct, said they disagree with Horowitz’s finding of a lack of political bias when the FBI investigation was launched.

Fucker trying to walk a tightrope, but those responsible for lying to get FISA warrants will pay a heavy legal price.

Since when is lying to a FISA court in order to get a warrant not a crime? They knew the Steele dossier was pure bullshit ...got the first warrant for Crossfire Hurricane...after the dossier sub-contact in Russia was questioned he said the report was “rumors, bar conversations, and satire.” But FBI people involved in Crossfire Hurricane went back and got 2 more warrants based on a disproven dossier. Then, the lawyer for the investigation, altered email to present it to the court for a warrant. Heads are gonna roll.

Spying is something nations do. The police perform surveillance.

the multiple felons the blob had in his campaign means the surveillance was well warranted

If it was so "warranted", Candy...then why did they have to deceive a FISA court judge to get the warrants in the first place? Duh?

There was no deception

Are you serious?

Cruz To Horowitz: Did An FBI Attorney Defraud The FISA Court? Horowitz: Yup.

Cruz focuses on the report of an attorney who altered documents in order to support the FBI’s FISA warrant application renewal. Did an FBI attorney really create “fraudulent evidence” to ensure the renewal of Page’s surveillance, Cruz wondered — and Horowitz confirmed it:

That nugget, reported weeks ago as Horowitz’ draft circulated to all of the principals in the report, is listed as the ninth major omission and/or misrepresentation in the FISA process. Horowitz detailed the deliberate deception in the executive summary:

The OGC Attorney subsequently sent the liaison’s email to SSA 2 the OGC Attorney altered the liaison’s email by inserting the words “not a source” into it, thus making it appear that the liaison had said that Page was “not a source” for the other agency. Relying upon this altered email, SSA 2 signed the third renewal application that again failed to disclose Page’s past relationship with the other agency. Consistent with the Inspector General Act of 1978, following the OIG’s discovery that the OGC Attorney had altered and sent the email to SSA 2, who thereafter relied on it to swear out the third FISA application.
​

The "other" Agency is surely the CIA which repeatedly told the FBI and DOJ that Page was their source collecting information on the Russians. The FBI and DOJ used Page's contacts with the Russians to justify claiming that he was spy for the Russians in a conspiracy with them to spy on the US. Actually he was a source FOR the CIA gathering information ON the Russians. Oh well, so how to handle an email explaining this? Just insert "Not A" in front of SOURCE! But the FBI and DOJ are totally exonerated! No deception! No Siree!

Here’s the FBI’s lawyer cooking a FISA warrant to surveil someone who they knew to be a confidential source for “another agency.”

Don’t forget that the FISA system is designed specifically to guard against abuse of power by FBI counterintelligence operations.

The Hill does note an observation from Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), in which Lee can’t imagine why Comey thinks this report reflects well on him:

Lee specifically called out former FBI Director James Comey, who had responded to the report in a Washington Post op-ed, saying that it disproved declarations from President Trump and his allies that the FBI “spied” on the Trump campaign and engaged in wrongdoing.

“There is no planet on which I think this report indicates that things were OK within the FBI in connection with this investigation and yet stunningly former FBI Director Jim Comey took to the pages of The Washington Post to declare that this report, your report, shows that the FBI fulfilled its mission,” Lee said.

“I don’t understand that. I find it absolutely stunning that he would reach that conclusion. This is nonsense,” he continued.​

Why would an attorney fabricate evidence for a warrant on Carter Page other than political bias, especially given that he can and likely will lose his ability to practice law if not get convicted for perjury? Horowitz can’t say; all his report actually notes is that he found no evidence (no one he interviewed admitted it) of political bias, not that it didn’t exist.

Carter Page was a CIA contact with Russia. He was working for the United States. Now, you have two things left. Azerbaijan is an oil rich region. Thousands of businessmen around the world have ties to that region. That is not extraordinary, and has nothing to do with the sovereign state of Russia. Your statement is also vague. Kremlin targeted educated youth and swing state voters. The end result was what? Some internet postings? Played no role in ultimate outcome of 2016 election.

 

[Oldstyle]

The Barr/ Durham investigation is about to wrap up, lets wait for that. In the meantime lets review the FACT that Horowitz was an Obama appointee. I don't know if he has political motives, but we are entitled to know, don't you think?

In the meantime lets focus on the good economy, our once again strong capable military, and the very low unemployment rates around this Christmas season. the country is doing great, I give Trump some of the credit, you can credit obozo the kenyan if you want, but if you do that you also have to credit Bush.

Wait, but that's what you said about THIS report. This, the non partisan, inspector general report. We couldn't trust the FBI review, we had to see THIS one. Now that this report backs up the FBI review we have to wait for a report from a partisan Roy Cohn? Do you even take yourself seriously?

Why would I have to credit anyone for the economy Barack Obama turned around? By every metric, the economy performed better under Obama than Bush and Trump. Trump is just maintaining that good economy he was given...for now.

By every metric? Really! Did you want to point out the exact time that Barry set records for the lowest unemployment rates since they started keeping that stat, Seawytch?

Obama left Trump with an unemployment rate of 4.7% and a consistently growing economy.

Talk about being born on third base and saying you hit a home run.

Did you want to show us all that point in the Obama Presidency where unemployment numbers hit record lows, Colfax? I can show you where that occurred in the Trump Presidency. Gee, talk about talking shit you can't back up!

LOL

Had Trump been handed 7.8% unemployment and growing, he would not have had record lows.

Had Obama been handed 4.7% unemployment and dropping, he would have had record lows.

And how would Barry have done THAT, Faun? What economic program of HIS would have created jobs?

I'll tell you what Trump WOULDN'T have done! He wouldn't have chosen to do things like a healthcare overhaul and Cap & Trade...things that slowed job growth while millions of Americans were out of work! He wouldn't have increased job killing regulations at a record pace like Obama did!
