IG Horowitz destroys the lie that he found ‘no political bias’ in the FBI investigation of Trump

When Inspector General Horowitz’s report came out, the media quickly fell in line behind the notion that they found “no evidence of political bias” in the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign in 2016.

While the nation was watching Democrats and Republicans go back and forth on impeachment Wednesday, Inspector General Horowitz was also on Capitol Hill testifying before the Senate, and destroyed the lie that no political bias was found.

According to his testimony on Wednesday, his report did not make a determination on intent, and the explanations made by the FBI for their errors were not credible:

SEN. HAWLEY: “They were competent enough to deliberately mislead the FISA court, to change submissions to the FISA court, to alter emails. It doesn’t sound like they’re very stupid to me. What’s the explanation? Why over time, why would all of these people. four times over the space of half a year, deliberately mislead a federal court?”

HOROWITZ: “So we ultimately make — we don’t make a conclusion as to the intent here. So I want to be clear about that… There are so many errors, we couldn’t reach a conclusion or make a determination on what motivated those failures other than we did not credit what we lay out here were the explanations we got.
