Finally – AP Confirms Horowitz Report “Principal Review Phase” Underway – “Invitations” For Witnesses and Lawyers

CTH: We finally have confirmation of a procedural process that allows us to anticipate the timing for public release of the FISA report from Inspector General Horowitz.

According to the Associated Press:

The Justice Department’s watchdog is nearing the release of its report on the early stages of the FBI’s Russia investigation, a document likely to revive debate about a politically charged probe that shadowed President Donald Trump’s administration from the outset.

The inspector general in recent days has invited witnesses and their lawyers who were interviewed for the report to review portions of a draft this week and next, a critical final step toward making the document public, according to multiple people familiar with the process who insisted on anonymity to discuss it.

As part of that process, the people will have opportunities to raise concerns or suggest potential edits, making it unclear precisely when in the coming weeks a final version could be ready for release. Inspector General Michael Horowitz told Congress in a letter last month that he did not expect a lengthy review period and that he intended to make as much of the report public as possible, with minimal redactions.

Generally speaking, and using the 2018 IG report on FBI conduct as a guide, the ‘Principal Review’ phase under Horowitz usually lasts 10 business days, or two weeks. All principals, and lawyers who review the report, are required to sign non-disclosure agreements. read more

  1. It will find some egregious actions by people who, Democrats, should have known better but will absolve everyone because their is nothing against applying the Law for Impeachment and that it was not a Coup attempt…Trump will be noted as insane, expressing behavioral problems and crassness which offended so many that his removal from office is for the good of the once American land mass now without borders..Hillary will offer suggestions as what to do in a very Presidential manner..she will buy Trump properties for one million dollars..

  2. If someone, an American Citizen, we can say. . .
    was illegally spied upon, monitored, watched, censored and retaliated against by Government Employees, Non-Governmental Agency Employees, Media Corporation Employees, Entertainment Studio Employees and flat out Foreign Owned Employees and the Victims named U.S. know it, know when it happened, how many times it happened and who it happened by. . . well then. . . invite U.S. American Public to this Party too, peeps.

    We got something to say in this.

  3. I sense skepticism. I wonder why?

    We’ve been suffering through years and years of smoking guns and ‘any day now’.

    Pull the fucking trigger already. For the love of God. Pull the trigger.
    I know. More patience required. But i’m nodding off.

  4. When this latest Democrat blunder is out of the way, then they can release the report. Makes zero sense to release while this clown court is in session because it will be used as the major distraction. Also, the Democrats and their media wing would cry and say the timing of the report release was meant solely to distract from the impeachment hearings.

    Timing is everything. Trump himself once said something to the effect of, you release something good now, a year from now it will be forgotten. A nice holiday season of treasonous rats being indicted and then convicted and sent to jail before the election will have a greater motivational effect on the base than if it was done a year ago. Trump let the Democrats shoot their loads and now they have nothing left in the chamber after crying wolf three times in a row.

    Of course if the report comes out and nobody is indicted or just low hanging fruit, that will be a different story. I also think Hillary is waiting to see if her name comes out before declaring herself a candidate yet again.
