Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General (IG) Michael Horowitz testified Wednesday that he never concluded there was no political bias in the FBI’s abusive investigation of officials connected to Donald Trump’s campaign.
Horowitz appeared before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee to discuss his recent report (the “IG report”) on Operation “Crossfire Hurricane,” in which he found that the FBI had misled the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) court in seeking warrants for the surveillance of Trump aide Carter Page.

Corruption will be exposed with the Durham report. Frankly I think I see beads of sweat appearing on Brennan's forehead when he is interviewed. He is on tape and can't lie his way out of this one. And sleaze ball that he is he will roll over on the others.
