GET READY AMERICA…IT’S COMING!
Lindsey Graham: FISA Abuse Report Will Be ‘Ugly And Damning’ For DOJ, FBI
It’s coming. The most disappointing, disheartening, obviously contrived non-expose’ in America’s history.
Imagine the left’s disappointment when the “Russian Collusion Hoax blew up in the face of all the leftist Democrats, Never-Trumpers, “News” outlets, and America-hating World Leaders, times ten. You’ll be close to understanding the effect if the coming DOJ Inspector General’s report and the “Barr Investigation, after all the breathlessly reported leaks, rumors, and “preliminary reports”… fail to deliver will have on the vast number of the American people who were so sure that, at last, the ‘good guys’ were going to win a ‘big one ‘for “the Gipper”.
For months we’ve been conditioned to expect that solid evidence will be produced that a massive amount of criminal activity was carried out by agencies, bureaus, and departments of the nation’s top law enforcement and national security apparatus. And, reports indicate that it was aimed at destroying a validly elected presidency and administration.
Worst of all, it seemed clear that it was all at the behest, direction and active participation of a near totally corrupt presidential administration.
And finally, it was about to be fully revealed and the full weight of America’s justice system would come down on the well-heeled, well-connected, widely and undeservedly admired perpetrators.
Well, think again, America, it ain’t gonna happen!
Those same powerful forces who attempted this unprecedented overthrow of the government of the United States of America are still in existence, still maintain a presence in key areas of our federal government and justice system, the nation’s media, education system, and all of our major cultural and religious institutions.
In every area, the perpetrators, their accomplices, supporters, and abettors are active in preventing the exposure of the full picture of the massive corruption which nearly destroyed our great nation and remains today, and will for the foreseeable future, a palpable threat.
While the investigators who have actively sought to uncover the evil corruption that aimed to overthrow our government seem to be people of honor, integrity, and good will, those being investigated are none of those things.
Final official reports will be subject to “redaction”
And thus, if even diligent and aggressive investigation has brought forth strong evidence of FBI corruption, there are still people within the Bureau and the DOJ, in key positions with the vested authority to redact damaging findings and keep them from from being fully exposed.
What information from the reports by the IG or the Barr investigation will be withheld from public exposition under pressure to “protect national security” or the “protection of vital security resources of friendly foreign countries”?
What “legal” restraints on disclosure of damning evidence will corrupt or intimidated judges uphold?
What evidence or information in the IG’s report for example, will be diluted or withheld out of concern it could be “misperceived” by the political establishment or the general public, as for example, despite all evidence to the contrary the earlier IG report found no indication of “political bias”?
With literally “everything at stake” for the world’s most prominent actors will there be overwhelming, even deadly, threats and intimidation imposed on investigators and those who have been given the authority to reveal any and all of the findings?
If, as some believe with some justification, that a truly full exposition would jeopardize the future, and personal freedom of the highest level government officials, current and former, would disclosure even be permitted, not by those culpable, but by even innocent and non-involved officials, out of fear of irreparable damage to the nation’s continued viability?

Lindsey Graham: FISA Abuse Report Will Be ‘Ugly And Damning’ For DOJ, FBI
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said he expects the inspector general’s report into FBI surveillance of the Trump campaign will be “ugly and damning” for the agency and the Department of Justice.
“I want it all out. I want people to see how off the rails this investigation got, and I want people to be held accountable,” Graham said in an interview on Fox News’ “Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo.”
Since March 2018, Justice Department inspector general Michael Horowitz has investigated whether the FBI and DOJ misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court in applications for wiretap warrants against former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.

Horowitz told Congress June 25 he had completed the investigation and was in the process of writing a report of his findings. Some Republican lawmakers said the report is likely to come out shortly after Labor Day.
The FBI relied heavily on the unverified and Democrat-funded Steele dossier in four applications to surveil Page. The special counsel’s report dealt the dossier a heavy blow, by undercutting the document’s core claim that the Trump campaign and Page were part of a “well-developed conspiracy of co-operation” with the Russian government.
“I believe the Horowitz report is going to be ugly and damning regarding the Department of Justice handling of the Russia probe,” Graham said…, adding he wants as much of the report as possible to be declassified.
“I want the American public to hear the story. I want all this information to come out. I want them to read for themselves how bad it was, the warrant application to the [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] Court I think was quite frankly a fraud on the court.”
Graham also said he is interested in finding out more about what role the CIA played in gathering intelligence on Trump associates.
“I really am very curious about the role the CIA played here. We know that the FISA warrant application was based on a dossier prepared by Christopher Steele who was biased against Trump that was unverified,” he said.
“But this whole intelligence operations — what role did the CIA play? Who knew about this in the White House?”
Attorney General William Barr appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham to oversee an inquiry into government agencies’ activities before July 31, 2016, when the FBI formally opened its investigation of the Trump campaign.
Former CIA Director John Brennan testified on May 23, 2017 that he shared information with the FBI related to possible Russian contacts with Trump associates.
