Opinion | A Trail of FBI Abuse

The press corps is portraying Monday’s report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz as absolution for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but don’t believe it. The report relates a trail of terrible judgment and violations of process that should shock Americans who thought better of their premier law-enforcement agency.

Readers can look at the detailed executive summary and decide for themselves. But our own initial reading confirms the worst of what we feared about the bureau when it was run by James...

opinion Or it exonerated the FBI of wrong-doing and found the investigation justified. One of those two

opinion You buried the lead, everything the administration has been saying for two years is totally wrong and they owe the FBI an apology.

opinion What was done in the name of the people by the surveillance state in this matter is frightening for all Americans regardless of politics. Justifying ignoring the rules to get what is wanted, out of public view, is totalitarian. It is wrong. It is fully undemocratic.

opinion Up to now all the focus has been on how Trump will defend himself. Now we go back to origins. From the inauguration many were convinced Trump would face impeachment. Why? What did they know? Then too, when did CIA tell FBI Page was an asset his name was in the papers?

opinion 🤦🏾‍♂️

opinion So is the DOJ going to rescind all the indictments against the Russians that Mueller’s investigation turned up? How about Flynn, Gates, and all the others? And where are the indictments for FBI agents, if they did so many “bad things”? Crickets from the WH on that, right?

opinion If this is the case why is Barr saying the report is inaccurate?

opinion Oh hi propagandist spin 👋

The FBI's warrant system for spying on Americans is a mess, the IG report showsAnalysis: The report found an FBI process so rife with errors that the FBI director immediately issued a statement saying he would begin reforms. The process wasn’t flawed. It was abused by politically biased FBI operatives who falsified documents, withheld exculpatory evidence and lied repeatedly to FISA court judges so as to spy on a presidential campaign. Jail time for Comey and others is the only justice.
