1. Alright people, I’m seeing a lot of (understandable) frustration, and Blackpilling, from today’s #IGReport.
Let’s take a step back and take a look at some of the basics of what we know.
Let’s take a step back and take a look at some of the basics of what we know.
2. From my thread here: we know that the OIG’s evidence gathering methodology suggests a criminal, rather than an administrative, investigation.
3. We know that AG Sessions, Horowitz and Wray’s missions are twofold:
- bring wrongdoers to justice
- preserve the integrity of the FBI and D OJ at an institutional level.
- bring wrongdoers to justice
- preserve the integrity of the FBI and D OJ at an institutional level.
4. We know that Sessions has Huber working closely with IG Horowitz on the findings of the report today (and all ongoing OIG investigations) 
5. We know that providing false statements to OIG investigators is a federal crime the dame way that lying to the FBI is a crime.
6. We know that John Huber (nominated by Trump in June of 2017 and confirmed by the senate in August of 2017), has run an impenetrable, leakless investigation since he was appointed. ajc.com/news/national/…
7. From this video (queued up), we know that SESSIONS AND HOROWITZ THEMSELVES APPROVED THE RELEASE OF THE STRZOK PAGE TEXTS. This is critically important.
8. So here we have a big question.
Why would Horowitz release those texts, only to later release a report that says "No organizational bias"?
He HAD to have known that the Strzok Page texts coming first would show insane bias and develop into a narrative along those lines.

9. We know that we are watching a pre-planned, coordinated rollout of information. Anybody who expected today's report to be some kind of endpoint is either lying or badly misinformed.
10. I guarantee that as we pick apart the report, we will find testimony that contains demonstrable lies. Lying to OIG investigators is a federal crime, but Horowitz's scope has nothing to do with that; he is sending all criminal evidence to Huber.
11. How do you preserve the integrity of the FBI while still bringing everybody to justice?
Release a report that says that there was no evidence of institutional bias, and have Wray come out and play his part by speaking PURELY about the ORGANIZATION, and none of the details.

12. All evidence gathered by the OIG using the OIG methodology for a criminal investigation, then passes through Huber for the actual heavy lifting. Huber can say "Hey IG, it looks like person A, B, and C lied to you during your interview process. Should we do something about it?
13. I am going to coin something like a variant of the #FudgeRule. When things play out like the IG report release today, we need to wait for the ripple effects to happen before we start jumping to conclusions. There's a method to the madness here.
14. We know that President Trump hasn't weighed in on the IG report AT ALL. Why is that? He is completely radio silent.
15. We know that Rod Rosenstein, Jeff Sessions, Chris Wray, all maintain their jobs. Why is that?
16. Let them do their jobs, we should do ours. Let's scour the meat of this report and find what they want us to find in there. Let's show where testimony is contradicted by facts - every instance of that is a federal crime just waiting to be prosecuted.
17. At the very least, calm down. No need to get upset or jump to conclusions. This is still in its beginning phase.
All Horowitz did was lay out the facts as they exist in official capacity. The misconduct was never going to show up there - it will be in the contrasts.
