    I'm not biased against political parties.

    I suppose you are? Weird.

    Cleared? Didn’t read the report eh? It proves either the FBI leaders acted in bad faith or were totally incompetent. You choose.

    Wrong again.

    It states:

    "We found that while she attended some of the discussions, Lisa Page did not play a role in the decision to open Crossfire Hurricane or the four individual cases. Strzok was directly involved in the decisions to open Crossfire Hurricane and the four individual cases, but we found that he was not the sole, or even the highest level decision maker as to any of those matters. [Bill] Priestap, Strzok’s supervisor, told us that ultimately he was the official who made the decision to open the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and Strzok then prepared and approved the formal documentation, as required by the DIOG. Evidence reflected that this decision by Priestap was reached by consensus after multiple days of discussions and meetings that included Strzok and other leadership in CD, the FBI Deputy Director, the FBI General Counsel, and the FBI Deputy General Counsel. We similarly found that the decisions to open the four individual cases were reached by consensus of Crossfire Hurricane agents and analysts who identified individuals associated with the Trump campaign who had recently travelled to Russia or had other alleged ties to Russia, and that Priestap was involved in those decisions. The formal documentation opening each of these four investigations was approved by Strzok, as required by the DIOG.

    We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced Priestap’s decision to open Crossfire Hurricane. The evidence also showed that FBI officials responsible for and involved in the case opening decisions were unanimous in their belief that, together with the July 2016 release by WikiLeaks of hacked DNC emails, the Papadopoulos statement described in the FFG information reflected the Russian government’s potential next step to interfere with the 2016 U.S. elections. These FBI officials were similarly unanimous in their belief that the FFG information represented a threat to national security that warranted further investigation by the FBI. Witnesses told us that they did not recall observing during these discussions any instances or indications of improper motivations or political bias on the part of the participants, including Strzok."

    No documentary evidence. Also, the IG report says there was not sufficient explanation for why these things happened. Enter Barr and Durham. Heads will roll.

    Read the report. The issue isn't whether people don't like Bonespurs--they don't--the question is whether that had any impact on them doing their jobs as a professional, and Horowitz concluded that there was no evidence of any kind which reflected that.

    Wrong yet again. Does plainly-written English ever make its way into your consciousness?

    The report essentially states that there was no evidence of any kind. READ IT.

    The title of the report doesn't have the word "bias" in it, it does have "FISA" in it:
    "Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI's Crossfire Hurricane Investigation"

    Therefore, like I said, 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.

    One of the witnesses admitted he only had presumed, he had no evidence for inferences.

    if Trump wants to take the stand and say it was not his idea, and that Rudy was running rouge, have at it

    BUT.... the call transcript disproves that

    The IG also stated that they did not make a determination on that. Remember the IG is only reviewing what people told them and documentary evidence but he did find many questionable issues that led him to believe the system needs to be reviewed top to bottom.

    CRUZ: “The FBI creates fraudulent evidence, alters an email that is in turn used as the basis for a sworn statement for the court that the court relies on. Am I stating that accurately?"

    HOROWITZ: “That is what occurred.”

    I thought, this can't be true, so I searched, it popped up Hannity, so I searched again looking for a trusted News source like MSNBC, CNN, WAPO, or the Times, it popped up Hannity, so I delved deep and watched the video; Holy Freaking Crap!

    But that's not what the OP said, which is where this back and forth all began.

    Don't believe so! The FBI investigation was motivated by facts not political bias.

    It was motivated by fraud.

    IG Horowitz agrees that the FBI:

    —Created fraudulent evidence
    —Altered an email
    —And then used that email as a basis for sworn testimony

    The greatness of our economy today is certainly extreme.

    Stop the false narrative. The IG did not in any way report any fraud created.

    If you cannot post what really happened why do you postbwhat amounts to nonsense.
