CTH: The comprehensive IG final draft report on the FBI handling of the Clinton investigation was circulated for principal feedback on May 16th. Following typical timelines of IG ‘draft reports’ we anticipated the Final Report release around the first week of June.
Well, Senator Chuck Grassley has just scheduled a hearing on the release for next Tuesday June 5th. So anticipate the final publication and public release any day now.
In the DOJ oversight aspect the Senate Judiciary Committee ranks #2. Second only to the House Judiciary Committee (Goodlatte) who holds primary justice department oversight. Links
Hillary’s hump is going to grow a lot bigger next week. Get out the Chardonnay! Damn those Macedonian Content Farmers!
After this much hype and anticipation this better be good. We want heads to roll.
Anything short of that will sow even greater distrust of the State.
I’m hopeful, but not optimistic. My gut tells me this will end up being more Uniparty Kabuki theater like the Benghazi hearings, etc. The evil, corrupt ruling class in DC is probably too big and powerful for even President Trump to defeat. We may need 150 million people with torches, pitchforks, and “assault” firearms to finally get rid of the Uniparty ruling class.
Lets see how this all plays out first, but keep your pitchfork tines straight, your torches waxed, and your guns oiled.
The release of this long awaited report should be the deciding factor on whether to revolt or not to revolt. If the guilty are not punished then we have lost our country and we will need to take it back. No one person or faction is above the law.
The President has been doing excellent body work on the Democrat party. Now it’s time for congressional republicans to deliver a few good combinations to the head and face before the President delivers the knock out blow this fall.
Just more play-fighting. A big nothing-burger.
Laws are for the little people
The DOJ and FBI are working on their rebuttal. Working title: “To Serve Trump”
Keep praying for divine intervention on this and subsequent reports.
My hope is that the increased rowdy-dow we’ve witnessed since the congressional review is the result of how damaging the report is to the Left. Very surprised parts of the report haven’t been leaked by some of the reviewers.
Lest anyone be disappointed that this IG report doesn’t go into the genesis of the NSA data and FISC abuse, remember that there will be another released after this one.
The first area that Horowitz was given to investigate was the possible (heh!) politicization of the FBI in support of H-Rod. A partial report has already been released and covered leads to journalists. This resulted in a criminal referral of McCabe. The report coming within the next few days should include more on the illegal acts by FBI people to damage DJT and boost H-Rod.
At some as yet unreported future date, Horowitz will report on a subsequent area of investigation given to him after the above. As sundance at CTH put it, this
Every bit of all of this is of extreme importance, but it is this last one that I’m really-really-really looking forward to.
No edit function? That should be …covered leaks to journalists…
Like any other Gov’t funded report, it’ll be 700+ pages and the last paragraph will say ‘more study is needed’.
Uncle Al — I thought this upcoming report dealt with Hillary Clinton’s email investigation. No?

Ooh, and action, Andy. Lots of action. Street action. Like voting, I suspect. Maybe even campaign contributions? Oooh.

Do you line up the shutters in the garage, and wait until the hurricane throws a few rocks through the windows?
Or do you just hang the … shutters, in case the hurricane comes for you. Then take them down, when all’s clear?
a “hearing”!
oh no !
what bs.
hang the bitch now !
@AbigailAdams – Yes, I wasn’t clear/specific enough and slightly off-target. This report is on how the feds handled the H-Rod email investigation in politicized manner, protecting her by NOT investigating. (Yeah, OK, some of my own conclusions are in there!)
