Watchdog report finds FBI not motivated by political bias in Trump probe

A person cant be biased but conduct an impartial investigation.

Otherwise, one could argue a racist cop is A-OK.

 

Horowitz is a fellow swamp rat... of course he was going to whitewash it.

I expect Durham and Barr will as well. My guess is they'll throw some lower level bureaucrats under the bus, and say that Comey and Brennan, et al used poor judgment, but didn't do anything wrong, blah, blah, blah...

That's the way the swamp works. They protect themselves and their own.

 

Lots of same people did just that

So sorry

Thank god for saner people like you who see the reality of the deep state led by Soros and the aliens

 

There is no swamp

Realize that's gonna take some time to really sink in

Deep breaths

 

No political bias, just like Hillary had no criminal intent. It means nothing. He certainly points out wrong doing so his conclusions as to intent won't affect squat with the ongoing criminal investigation.

 

So the report says no one admitted to political bias against Trump.

Shocking.

 

Gonna take me a bit to get through 400+ pages.

Doesn’t the cult get tired of hyping things that become failure?

 

No they didn't...

“This man cannot be president,” Ms. Page wrote in March 2016.

“She just has to win now,” she said in a July 2016 message, referring to Hillary Clinton. “I’m not going to lie, I got a flash of nervousness yesterday about Trump.”


In his texts to Ms. Page, Mr. Strzok referred to Mr. Trump as an “idiot” and a “******.” Shortly before the 2016 election, he wrote that the prospect of a Trump presidency made him “scared for our organization.”

You're right, guy. No bias here. Lol

Had they been talking about Obama, theyd be strung up as racists and paraded down Pennsylvania Ave.

 

The report destroys FBI credibility and some think this is vindication.

 

Like it proving Brennan lied to Congress?

 

Well, except for the previous IG report saying the bias damaged the FBI you might have something.

 

Since Barr lied about the Mueller report prior to it’s release we are not surprised.

 

Not what it said. Nice try.

 

Durham rarely ever makes any public comments yet he made one about the opinion of the IG on the beginning on this. That should give you pause.

 

Well, that is exactly what it says if you took the time to read it.

 

That the FBI has a very low bar for applying for FISA warrants to spy on Americans using the FISA warrant reserved for agents of foreign governments and terrorists?

That after 4 warrants no charges were ever brought?

That the FBI can ignore evidence that the 'verified' information required for such an intrusive warrant is not verified and was paid for by a political opponent?

That the FBI excluded exculpatory evidence in the FISA warrant?

That, evidently, the FBI is totally incompetent?

 

They are not employees of the DOJ or FBI.
They wer not interviewed.
Get back to me when you verify this for yourself

 

Oopsy,....must have slipped their minds.
Accidents happen

 

Anybody can answer questions if they are so inclined.

Get back with me when you see the first single criminal charge. It’s beyond boring. Fake scandals aren’t going to be the way to win the presidency in 2020 this time. Non-cult members are tired of the bullshit. We see it for what it is.

 

So they violated many rules (and probably some laws) to “get” Trump. They acted in bad faith. But politics had nothing to do with it?

What a bunch of malarkey.

 

I think you entirely missed the point then. The motivation established by the report was fear. Fear that the FBI wasn't going to be viewed as "credible" anymore if they "allowed a foreign government to "assist" the Trump campaign. If you take the report at face value then, that organization and it's leadership ignored their own safeguards and policy then to overcome their own incompetency concerning the Clinton mess.

It is also then clear that those who participated personally feared that unless they undercut or otherwise provided the necessary dirt on the Trump campaign that they would "lose" to the Russians. Total BS. Either way. If the FBI then trampled on the rights of our own citizens in an effort to not look bad, the FBI then deserves to be disbanded because of their institutional incompetence, failure to follow the law, and outright criminality in their actions, approach, and execution.

We the citizens deserve government that doesn't bumble it's way in incompetent steps, eroding all of our rights to cover up their own incompetence.

If, as you say, you're interested in "saving the nation", the idea that the FBI so rudely trashed your nation should then concern you deeply, but, it seems that you're willing to overlook their incompetence in a fashion to attack those that are rightly pointing out their misdeed.

 

The same FBI that deemed Nicholas Cruz to not be a threat, even when he said he was going to commit a school shooting? That FBI?

 

There is a great difference between personal bias and professional bias. The I.G. report dealt with professional bias because there is no reliable way to measure personal bias and its effect on reportage. Suffice it to say that the I.G. found no indication of professional bias which is what matters.

The report highlighted that FISA was improperly managed and need to clean up the process. Fair enough. The report also stated that the investigation into the Russian matter was held properly and dispelled the myth of the Trump conspiracy story. That Barr would dispute the findings of his own professional is simply another demonstration of Barr's unwillingness to hold Trump responsible for anything. Barr would have been comfortable in a king's court.

 

If it didn’t affect their job then why was exculpatory information withheld?

 

“We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation” means nothing, we have now the ability to use presumptions; thank you Congress Democrats.

The important part:

“The FBI should review the performance of all employees who had responsibility for the preparation, Woods review, or approval of the FISA applications, as well as the managers, supervisors, and senior officials in the chain of command of the Carter Page investigation for any action it deems appropriate.”
