Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz before the Senate Judiciary Committee in June. Photo: Drew Angerer/Getty Images Throughout both the Mueller and the subsequent House Intelligence Committee’s investigations of Trump campaign and administration dealings with foreign governments, the president’s allies have relentlessly promoted a counter-narrative full of lurid conspiracy theories.
Attorney General William Barr disagrees with the Justice Department inspector general’s conclusion that the FBI had enough evidence to launch an investigation into the Trump campaign in 2016.Barr has told colleagues that he is not convinced by the evidence that Inspector General Michael Horowitz compiled suggesting that the FBI’s investigation into alleged Russian collusion by the Trump campaign launched on reasonable foundations, according to the Washington Post.
Horowitz also found that the decision to pursue an investigation was above the pay grades of the “FBI Lovebirds” Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, the key figures in the right-wing counter-narrative whose emails to each other displayed hostility to Trump. Trump allies will naturally dwell on the report’s criticism of FBI gullibility regarding the Steele Dossier, and this general finding of insufficient oversight noted by the Washington Post:
The facts confirm that Steele was not responsible for opening anything but Ivanka.
