Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee today.  On Monday, he released his report on how the FBI abused the FISA warrant process to spy on the 2016 Trump campaign.  There was much ado in The Media about his conclusion that there was no political bias in what became known as Operation Crossfire Hurricane.  But, despite the Fake News Media claims, and those made recently by former FBI Director James Comey that the Horowitz report vindicates and clears the FBI of bias, they missed a crucial point.  Horowitz only exonerated the initial beginning of Crossfire Hurricane of political bias.  Specifically the actions by then Assistant Director of Counter-Intelligence, E.W. 'Bill' Priestap.  During today's testimony, Horowitz did state that as the FBI operation moved forward, the bias issue becomes much "murkier", especially during the time of the application for a FISA warrant to surveil Trump campaign volunteer, Carter Page.  Horowitz also noted that while his review of documents, including text messages and emails of FBI agents, lawyers and officials, some employees did have a pro-Trump bias.  But, none of these pro-Trump employees were active members of the Crossfire Hurricane team.  Many of that team demonstrated a very definite pollical bias against then Candidate Donald J. Trump.

The FBI has turned over the results of their supplementary background check on Brett Kavanaugh. The word from the White House is that they found no corroborating evidence to support the allegations of sexual assault made against Kavanaugh. At least six people were known to have been interviewed, including the alleged witnesses to the Christine Blasey Ford accusation, as well as Deborah Ramirez, herself. Neither Ford nor Kavanaugh were questioned by the FBI. There apparently was no need to ask them anything. Senators will be allowed to read the FBI 302 reports starting this morning at 8am, EDT, ay a secure location. No recording devices will be allowed.

Rudy Giuliani, part of the legal team for President Donald Trump, says that the Robert Mueller Russia witch hunt is about to implode. New revelations about Bruce Ohr and ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele may be part of that. Ohr was once the Number 4 person in the Department of Justice. But, after it was learned that his wife Nellie had worked for Fusion GPS as it created opposition research for the DNC and Hillary Clinton campaign against Candidate Trump, Bruce Ohr′s standing in the DOJ has been declining. He has been demoted several times now as more and more facts are coming to light. In particular about how he served as a conduit between the DOJ and Christopher Steele.

There is more evidence that the DOJ, FBI scandal is growing on the eve of the release of the Inspector General report on the Hillary Clinton email probe. An email by FBI agent Peter Strzok after the Loretta Lynch tarmac meeting with Bill Clinton verifies that the FBI had already decided to exonerate Hillary in April of 2016. The email, obtained by a FIOA request from Judicial Watch, has Strzok lamenting about the tarmac story. Next, we have the exclusive report by Catherine Herridge of Fox News. She claims that Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein threaten members of the House Intelligence Committee and their staff with subpoenas for their smart phones and records in January of this year. A sure sign that the DOJ and FBI are out of control and must be reigned in by Congress and President Donald Trump.

If Kimberly Strassel of the Wall Street Journal is correct, the FBI may have had a spy working in the Trump campaign! The WSJ reporter has published a story about the Federal Bureau of Investigations having had a source inside the 2016 presidential campaign of then Candidate Donald Trump. Other news agencies, namely Fox News, since CNN, NBC, MSNBC and the rest of the Fake News Media are ignoring this, are also confirming this possibility. Much of this comes from a subpoena issued from the House Intelligence Committee for all documents of the FBI and DOJ about a specific individual. This person of interest is said to be an American citizen who has been a source in the past for the FBI and the CIA. Congressmen Devin Nunes and Trey Gowdy were allowed access to some documents held by the Department of Justice yesterday.

The DOJ Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, released his report Friday about Andrew McCabe. The document confirms that there was just cause to fire McCabe as the Deputy Director of the FBI. Not only did McCabe have a ″lack of candor″ several times with investigators, including while under oath, he also was short on the truth to his former boss, James Comey. Of course, that street flowed both ways as there are allegations that Comey lied to McCabe as well. At the very least, this first installment, with more to follow, from the Inspector General shows that there was considerable dishonesty on the 7^th Floor of FBI headquarters. The Bureau′s top management were lying amongst themselves, as well as to Congress and the American People.

Late Friday evening, Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that Andrew McCabe was fired from the FBI. The outgoing Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations was to retire on Sunday. McCabe was looking forward to an estimated $1.9 million dollars in pension for his nearly 22 years in ′The Bureau′. But, all of that came to a crashing halt this past week. Due to findings from the Department of Justice Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, McCabe faced the Office of Professional Responsibility. The OPR recommended to Jeff sessions that McCabe should be fired immediately for multiple incidents of a ″lack of candor″ to DOJ investigators. While a ′lack of candor′ is not a criminal offense by itself, some of the incidents occurred while McCabe was under oath. That could be among several potential criminal indictments McCabe may be facing.

We have several headlines this weekend, casting more doubts about the Federal Bureau of Investigations. News from the Justice Department is that the Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, may be alleging that former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe was leaking to The Media before his forced retirement. We already know that James Comey had, at the very least, leaked confidential memos to the press via a law school professor. The latest allegations claim that McCabe was leaking information in the days just before, and long after, the 2016 presidential election. On top of this, we have the FBI response to a FIOA request by Judicial Watch for documents dealing with secret briefings by Comey and McCabe to Barack Obama. We know from the text messages from Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that one such meeting took place in early September, 2016. Another took place on January 5^th, 2017. We learned about that one from the email Susan Rice sent herself as she was cleaning out her desk on January 20, 2017.

Friday morning, President Donald Trump officially declassified the FISA abuse memo produced by the House Intelligence Committee. Counsel to the President, Don McGahn, then returned to memo from the White House back to the committee. Shortly after 12pm Eastern, the memo went public for all to see. The reactions have been very mixed and mostly predictable. Members of the Democratic Party and their allies in The Media are railing against Rep. Devin Nunes, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, for pushing this memo. Many Republicans, like Sen. John McCain are also upset. I′ll get back to him, later. But, for all of their bluster, opponents to the memo′s release have been shown to be hysterical liars. The memo does not besmirch the FBI and DOJ as a whole, nor does it endanger national security by revealing any sources or methods. What the memo DOES do is inform of public about several bad apples who were entrusted to run the FBI and DOJ, and then abused that trust.
