OIG FISA Report Discussion and the real reason for the FBI Mar-a-Lago raid


Recommended Posts

Someone explain to me how one report has two COMPLETELY DIFFERENT conclusions around here?

 

Who’s lying and who is telling the truth?

 

 

 

Those who are reading only the media coverage are getting it wrong. 

Those who only read the executive summary are getting it wrong. 

 

That's the normal NPC crowd who RACED down here to share talking points rather than read the material for themselves. The meat of the report is DAMNING to the FBI, DOJ and their FISA process -- and I'm only about 1/2 way through.

...so let's quickly review if I understand correctly...

 

1. Horowitz comes out with a luke warm, non-finger pointing report pretty much as expected; thus as a Dem and Obama appointee, it will be considered eloquent, accurate and "gospel".

2. Bull Durham-with his investigation ongoing, yet despite being assigned several high profile assignments by former AG Holder, his findings will without a doubt be labeled a "political hack job".

3. AG Barr-see #2; add in a "Bush appointee" and of course, add in the dreaded "C" word.....media characterized Barr as "a staunch conservative who rarely hesitates to put his hard line views into action."

 

...pretty clear cut as to how the media leans, but how about "the court of public opinion"?....

James Comey sure seems vindicated if you read his tweets on the subject.

 

So there’s that.

And he was immediately dunked on by everyone. As he should be. This report vilified him. The spin off report just about him also vilified him. He has been exposed as a liar and dirty cop. Full stop.

But, will he be charged? That is the $64,000 question.

True indeed. Ball is in Barr's court. Money is long against it, but I'm still quite confident it's coming. 

 

Seriously, Comey is out banging on about being the King of the Dipshyts of the Keystone Cops.  The guy was fired, last seen wandering about the forest pondering the many questions of life, oversaw an FBI that couldn't get it's thumb out of it's own a$$ when viewed in it's most positive light, and now has NBC news accusing it of being just another slap dick institution.  The leadership was largely purged, and Comey's thrilled with the outcome.  

 

Honest to God the guy is delusional. He's the lead designer on the Edsel project and again, that is when considered in the most positive light possible.

"Comey will be indicted by fall 2019" - Derrrrrrrrrranged Moron

 

You're not a liar, though, you were just wrong.

 

It is still autumn, 2019.

Call him wrong later this month if it turns out he is wrong.

..Horowitz=vanilla as expected?...yes or no?............

 

Vanilla plus. It what was expected and did more to help Democrats than Republicans. 

 

In my opinion Durham commenting on an open investigation to benefit the president shows he's in the AG's (At this point Barr, not Giuliani, is Trump's new personal attorney) pocket.

It was a "neighborhood" discussion. You wouldn't get it.

That was an early reaction. The new response is that it's damning in the details and will lead to mass convictions all the way to the top baby!

I wouldn't hold your breath there. Comey was a mess but I'd be shocked if there's a conviction in his future. Ohr might have more to worry about.

He’s full of it. He doesn’t know dick about this topic because he spent three years mocking it rather than reading and thinking for himself. 
 

Comey was referred for criminal prosecution already by the OIG. That happened earlier this year, the DOJ declined because of ongoing investigations. Meaning Barr and Durham. 
 

The same two men who felt strongly enough today to release joint statements undercutting the OIG’s finding of no bias. 
 

JA doesn’t want to talk about that though. Because it would show he was wrong. Again. And he’s too much of a coward to do that.

It does look like anyone on the higher scale is going to skate after this whole thing is said and done.

 

But, of course, I really don’t know what the hell im talking about either.


The entire echelon of higher ups involved in this report have all been fired, demoted, or “retired”. Over 24. 
 

No one is skating. Those saying people are skating are either intentionally lying to you or ignorant.

You would know better than me.

 

People lying and being ignorant about this report?

 

Quite shocking really.

@transplantbillsfan needs to watch this as i believe he would consider it, 'a respectable news source'.


He’s too busy cowering and hiding from direct questions while he waits for his next NPC download.

It’s a bull#### statement I never made. He can’t link it — it did not happen. 
 

He’s a liar. Hasn’t he proven that enough times for people down here?

Lisa Page seems vindicated too.

 

So, who’s next to tell us all that they are vindicated and laugh in their enemies faces while doing so?


Whaaaaa? I think you may want to read this report. It indicates she did not start this (people have surmised that was John Brennan) but I am not sure how anyone can say she was "vindicated" by this report.

Lisa Page said it herself, on twitter, of course.

 

I’m too stupid myself to vindicate anyone. ?

OH! Of course! She and Comey are toots absolved of any wrongdoing. They said so on Twitter. :doh: How stupid of me not to realize that was all it took.

It’s a Twitter world and everything said on there is true.

 

Didn’t you know that?

 

 

 

- oh for Heaven’s sake, the balls on these people. Didn’t they ever hear of just staying quiet?

Most have proved the adage that an attorney who represents himself has a fool for a client (sorta).

I've said for a while the only "smart" one of the bunch during this debacle has been Tony Podesta who closed down his firm and has remained silent during this whole debacle. (The justice department ended their investigation into him this past September.)

Nora O’Donnell just told me there was no political bias in the Trump/Russia investigation, so there you have it!  Trump colluded with Russia! ?

"I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff," Durham also said. "However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S."

Same way Trump said he was vindicated by Mueller report?

Ann Althouse notes a flipflop in the way the IG report is being spun:

 

“Exonerated? I remember when ‘exonerated’ had a strong meaning — back when the Mueller report was said not to have exonerated Trump because it did not prove Trump’s innocence but only failed to prove guilt. Now, to fail to prove guilt is to exonerate?”

 

 

It’s whatever the narrative needs it to be at the moment.
