So, the mere fact that they’re trying to discredit that says a lot about the weakness of their case and their allegations.” “But, the reality is this happened and the Inspector General— this will be his fifth report that he’s come out with regarding the FBI at the highest echelons. And, let’s also remember: they didn’t spend 18 months working on this to say, ‘Hey, everything went swimmingly at the Department of Justice,'” Chaffetz added. The New York Times reported that the “Russia inquiry review is expected to undercut” President Donald Trump’s claim that the FBI spied on him and is expected to include evidence that the agency “was careless and unprofessional” in wiretapping FBI lawyer Lisa Page. Chaffetz said the Times article is a “key flashing light” that signals that the FBI should be worried. Horowitz’s report is expected to be released on December 9, and Horowitz will testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee on December 11, according to the Senate Judiciary Committee’s website.
