Statement by Attorney General William P. Barr on the Inspector General's Report of the Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation

Attorney General William P. Barr issued the following statement:

"Nothing is more important than the credibility and integrity of the FBI and the Department of Justice. That is why we must hold our investigators and prosecutors to the highest ethical and professional standards. The Inspector General’s investigation has provided critical transparency and accountability, and his work is a credit to the Department of Justice. I would like to thank the Inspector General and his team.

The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken. It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump’s administration. In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source. The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory. While most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General’s report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process.

FISA is an essential tool for the protection of the safety of the American people. The Department of Justice and the FBI are committed to taking whatever steps are necessary to rectify the abuses that occurred and to ensure the integrity of the FISA process going forward.

No one is more dismayed about the handling of these FISA applications than Director Wray. I have full confidence in Director Wray and his team at the FBI, as well as the thousands of dedicated line agents who work tirelessly to protect our country. I thank the Director for the comprehensive set of proposed reforms he is announcing today, and I look forward to working with him to implement these and any other appropriate measures.

With respect to DOJ personnel discussed in the report, the Department will follow all appropriate processes and procedures, including as to any potential disciplinary action."

The new report from Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz confirmed former CIA Director John Brennan lied to Congress about whether the dossier authored by Christopher Steele was used in the Obama administration’s Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA).

Indeed.

Why isn’t Brennan in jail?

I'm going by this in the report:

"We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced Priestap's decision to open Crossfire Hurricane."

Iow, there is no evidence of a politically-motivated conspiracy to "spy on the Trump campaign", which you guys from Trump down have been hammering on at for years. Horowitz found procedural faults and errors, sure, as you often can when you look at something closely enough, but that doesn't make a conspiracy and it's nowhere near enough for what you need.

You'll have to come up with something else, or hope that Durham does.

This report was their great hope, now they are shifting it to Durham

The Dems were really looking forward to this report. They don't like it much now.
Especially since we can provide actual quotes from it.

Are you whacked, it is a four hundred plus page report, as I said earlier, anyone can find a quote to support nearly anything they want, but, you can't deny the overall theme is that the report blew up several of the rigth's conspiracies they have been peddling for years.

Trump was not spied upon, the investigations were legitimate from the offset, the dossier didn't play any role till later, and there was no orchestrated plot to prevent Trump from getting elected or sabotage his Presidency once elected

Hannity and Rush are going to have to fabricate new inneundos

[Earl]

The report that precipitated the circus that the American people are now seeing is phony.

[Getin the ring]

oh baby, $hit gonna hit the fan now

spying on an American citizen with a fake dossier as evidence, a presidential candidate no less

let the fun begin

[Earl]

This report was their great hope, now they are shifting it to Durham

There will be more from Durham and Barr and you won’t be laughing.

True, it was the first IG report, then this IG report, and now on to billy barr's "investigation," unless billy can fabricate something big beyond finding some low level FBI personnel they will be zero for three, you'd think they would have learned they've been being played by now

[Earl]

oh baby, $hit gonna hit the fan now

spying on an American citizen with a fake dossier as evidence, a presidential candidate no less

been waiting for this

let the fun begin

Indeed and the far left loons are already lying about the IG report.

[Getin the ring]

cant hide from the facts, that's the great thing about facts, vs innuendo and opinion,
opinion and personal interpretation of someones intentions which is exactly what the Democrats case is based on in the impeachment

America wants to know what led to Trump being spied on, and why Hunter Biden had a big job on a Ukrainian Oil company board while quid pro papa Joe was VP

I love that they stepped in their own $hit

[canceled.2021.2]

They altered the FISA warrant for Carter Page abt leftists ignore it.

Surprised?

That is really all you need to know.

If the case was soooo compelling why would they have to alter documents?

[canceled.2021.2]

Distraction from what? The Deep State conspiracy against Trump that Horowitz found NO TRACE OF?

Why did the FBI alter FISA warrant?

[canceled.2021.2]

No bias, I already knew that, and Trumppers already decided they wont believe it... so here we are.

Why did the FBI alter the FISA warrant?

In your experience do judges like when people lie about warrants?

[canceled.2021.2]

Now, what is Flynn going to use to get out of being a convicted felon?

What is your opinion on the FBI altering documents for FISA warrant?

You are good with that?

[canceled.2021.2]

Why do you keep asking for links to questions I ask?

Why did the FBI alter the FISA warrant?
