CTH: All day long, even before the Mueller news broke, Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge has really been leaning-forward, giving insight into the pending Inspector General report by OIG Michael Horowitz. Herridge is one of those reporters who is careful not to get out in front of her skis. Ms. Herridge is not a book-selling member of the tick-tock community of pundits.
We noted earlier how the specific emphasis of Ms. Herridge seemed to indicate the Horowitz report was closer to the surface of completion than previously thought.
Immediately after the Mueller news broke (around 5pm EST), Herridge filed her first live report providing details of the Mueller report. Within that first report Herridge stated she was previously bound to “confidences” until the Mueller probe was complete.
In subsequent reporting we begin to see what those confidences are, and how they connect to her exclusive reporting on text messages between Andrew McCabe and former FBI lawyer Lisa Page.
Ms. Herridge is strongly emphasizing a few key points that need additional emphasis:
♦ First, IG Horowitz is looking into the leaking of memos that contain classified information by “Senior FBI Executives”. This bullet-point directly relates to the James Comey memos that were leaked to the New York Times by Comey himself. On this first point, that would mean Comey is under investigation by the DOJ for those leaks.
♦ Second, IG Horowitz is following up on his own investigative finding where he found FBI officials were taking gifts from media. This violates FBI policy and could be a bigger ethical issue depending on the details. Interestingly, connecting this path to bullet-point #1, Herridge says: “by those same Senior Executives.” That would indicate former FBI Director James Comey, and former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe would be under investigation for taking gifts from media.
♦ Third, Herridge reports on what we already knew. IG Horowitz is investigating FISA surveillance abuse that stems from the fraudulently obtained FISA Title-1 surveillance warrant gained on Carter Page. This third point we knew about; however, Herridge then drops a bombshell...
Herridge notes she has exclusively gained 40 pages of text messages and communication between Andrew McCabe and Lisa Page. Her reporting from earlier today only revealed two of those pages.
Additionally, Herridge reveals these McCabe/Page messages were not provided to congressional oversight while republicans were in charge of the committees. This is huge, because this speaks to two key issues: MORE
until the GOP grows a pair, this is all a joke…..Democrats commit crime after crime after crime and nothing ever happens…
Wake me for indictments.
Now that the Mueller investigation is over I hope Trump can start cleaning house. Don’t think he could while investigation was going on without being accused of impeding the investigation. Hope I’m right!
The TDS Left now looks completely ridiculous after two years and $30M wasted on their totally transparent frame job.
With this joke of an investigation now over, allow for a counter move or two, before backing the hearse over our movement to Make America Great Again.
The TDS Left is now like a spoiled brat at the end of their tantrum. Fair minded people are less interested in their bullshit. Deranged Trump haters have lost their ‘Precious’ (Mueller taking down Trump). These people are ridiculous. At least when we complained about 0bama, we didn’t make things up.
Time to turn the tables.

Oh, goody! Another fake wrastlin’ show!
I think the investigation was concluded because the Ukrainians are launching their own, and the results would be contrary to what the MSM, DNC, Hillary and cohorts have been screaming for the last two years.
