    Statement by Attorney General William P. Barr on the Inspector General's Report of the Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation

    Attorney General William P. Barr issued the following statement:

    "Nothing is more important than the credibility and integrity of the FBI and the Department of Justice. That is why we must hold our investigators and prosecutors to the highest ethical and professional standards. The Inspector General’s investigation has provided critical transparency and accountability, and his work is a credit to the Department of Justice. I would like to thank the Inspector General and his team.

    The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of su ions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken. It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump’s administration. In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source. The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory. While most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General’s report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process.

    FISA is an essential tool for the protection of the safety of the American people. The Department of Justice and the FBI are committed to taking whatever steps are necessary to rectify the abuses that occurred and to ensure the integrity of the FISA process going forward.

    No one is more dismayed about the handling of these FISA applications than Director Wray. I have full confidence in Director Wray and his team at the FBI, as well as the thousands of dedicated line agents who work tirelessly to protect our country. I thank the Director for the comprehensive set of proposed reforms he is announcing today, and I look forward to working with him to implement these and any other appropriate measures.

    With respect to DOJ personnel discussed in the report, the Department will follow all appropriate processes and procedures, including as to any potential disciplinary action."

    So TSA's big Horowitz report is a nothingburger.

    He'll have anonymous tweets saying capital crimes were committed in some granular paperwork omissions or errors, declare victory and prayingdog.gif to Durham.

    i just wanted to see if you dropped the dossier theory
    It's not a theory anymore. There would have been no FISA without the Steele dossier.

    I don't recall saying that after learning about the Papa D/Downer conversation, which is old news. Watching you try and salvage some points is hilarious. Do you want me to go to your Flynn thread and start bumping the thousands of predictions you made in there that were completely wrong? Speaking of the Flynn thread, where's my 2 grand got?

    Statement of U.S. Attorney John H. Durham

    “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. 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 en ies, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”

    The traitor toddler in chief is upset and throwing a tantrum because the IG report did not fit his made up story about this being the biggest hoax/witch hunt scandal in history

    and instead was a proper legal and unbiased investigation.

    so will any adult sternly and firmly explain to the toddler throwing a tantrum - that the game is over, the lies he tells are not going to be tolerated?

    nope

    barr....durham....his cult...the GOP

    will now....


    entertain the toddlers gigantic tales of bull and twist and contort themselves into pretzels to appease the traitor toddler and give his bull some play


    give his tantrums importance
    enable and abet the toddler who is selling out an entire country


    because no adult can stop the toddler and are helping the toddler to achieve his goal of being above the law.


    We have lost our ing minds.

    odd that he'd make that comment. his role should be to press charges or not, as opposed to expressing his opinions in this manner. i dont think he's been commissioned to prepare a report

    I'm mocking you parroting the most beta subservient AG we've ever had, as if his opinion on the matter wasn't just as pre-determined as yours.

    You can discuss the finer points of the IG report with some other poster who hasn't written you off as a predictable and disingenuous shill. I'm not interested.

    Comey taking a victory lap on MSNBC. Said Fox & Friends canceled after the report came out but told him they might reschedule after the Durham report comes out.

    Says Trump and the rubes aren't moving the goalpost, they're moving the stadium.

    Trump's secret police waiting outside the studio to arrest him. #QAnon #It'sHappeningGIF

    If memory serves, you have claimed repeatedly that the Steele dossier was used to kick all this investigation off. You have said it repeatedly, and loudly.

    I guess I could comb through all your old posts to prove that, but I don't think you are worth the effort anymore.

    Now it is simply "part of" the justification for the FISA warrant, which no one really doubted.

    The IG report you listed stated that there were good reasons, as I have pointed out, to take the dossier somewhat serious to begin with, albeit with fact checking all the way.

    , the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General’s report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process.[/b]

    FISA is an essential tool for the protection of the safety of the American people. The Department of Justice and the FBI are committed to taking whatever steps are necessary to rectify the abuses that occurred and to ensure the integrity of the FISA process going forward.
    FISA courts have always been poorly overseen and easy targets for law enforcement to abuse over individuals rights, IMO.

    The more fascist pieces of like Barr say they need these "essential tools" the more you can bet we can probably do better.
