IG Horowitz: No One Vindicated by Report - Do You Feel the Same?
How do you feel about the inspector general's report?
What's the story?
- DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified that no one was vindicated by his report.
"I think the activities we found here don't vindicate anybody who touched this," Horowitz told the Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday, referencing a celebratory op-ed by former FBI Director James Comey.
- Horowitz's report - about alleged surveillance abuse against Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign - found 17 errors and omissions by the FBI but no political bias.
- During the hearing, Horowitz reiterated that the decision to initiate the Trump-Russia probe "was in compliance with [DOJ] and FBI policies, and we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced."
- But Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of Trump’s closest allies, gave a blistering 40-minute opening statement where he blasted the bureau.
“My goal is to make sure when this is over... you look at this as more than a few irregularities,” Graham said. “What happened here is the system failed. People at the highest level of our government took the law into their own hands.”
