Russia Inquiry Review Is Expected to Undercut Trump Claim of F.B.I. Spying

WASHINGTON — The Justice Department’s inspector general found no evidence that the F.B.I. attempted to place undercover agents or informants inside Donald J. Trump’s campaign in 2016 as agents investigated whether his associates conspired with Russia's election interference operation, people familiar with a draft of the inspector general’s report said.

The determination by the inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, is expected to be a key finding in his highly anticipated report due out on Dec. 9 examining aspects of the Russia investigation. The finding also contradicts some of the most inflammatory accusations hurled by Mr. Trump and his supporters, who alleged not only that F.B.I. officials spied on the Trump campaign but also at one point that former President Barack Obama had ordered Mr. Trump’s phones tapped. The startling accusation generated headlines but Mr. Trump never backed it up.

The finding is one of several by Mr. Horowitz that undercuts conservatives’ claims that the F.B.I. acted improperly in investigating several Trump associates starting in 2016. He also found that F.B.I. leaders did not take politically motivated actions in pursuing a secret wiretap on a former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page — eavesdropping that Mr. Trump’s allies have long decried as politically motivated.

Oops...

[truthisfreedom]

1. Nothing unexpected here.

[OnDoutside]

2. The expected would be Barr nobbling the report.

[SayItLoud]

3. This is how it will play out;

Report goes to Barr, he does summary like Mueller Report.

Barr: "There are many unanswered questions BUT what we know is that we CAN NOT BE CERTAIN that the FBI and investigators did NOT abuse their offices and powers in spying on the chosen ones campaign."

Dems will release 150 pages of the actual report which will prove it says nothing of the kind and reveal the truth.

The cult, and "Less Educated" and lazy will just accept the short summary.

Just sayin...

4. Criminal Barr will do a false report on how the Russians did not

meddle in the 2016 elections and somehow tie Ukraine into being the actual culprit.

5. Everything trump is a LIE!

Disinformation Donnie screaming- " They tapped my why-ahs!"

6. Have they discovered who in the FBI was running the rogue operation in NYC to hurt Clinton/help the

MAGAt king? And what FBI "source" leaked the fabricated info resulting in the false NYT headline: "Investigating Donald Trump, FBI Sees No Clear Link to Russia"? And this was published 8 days before the election-- 3 days AFTTER Comey announced the FBI was reviewing "newly discovered" (ha!) email involving Clinton and 6 days before she was cleared AGAIN.

It was an egregious disinformation campaign to trash Clinton/support the MAGAt (at a critical time) by the real Deep State.

7. All the field agents who were interviewed had the same story:

"They just kept jumping into the boat, boss. Honest. We tried beating them off with the oars and everything."
