Lindsey Graham said the IG report found "abuse of power at a level I never believe would exist in 2019."

That's kind of the point FISA and police state opponents have been trying to make to national security Republicans, FOR DECADES...

Particularly after 911.
Our Founding Fathers didn't believe in an elite class of better-than-you patriots who were so virtuous and super smart they could be entrusted with power like this.

Not. At. All.

They were realists re: human nature.
Listen to these texts and messages Lindsey Graham has been reading.

They are Thomas Jefferson's Artificial Aristocracy.

Liberal Democrat Leader Jo Swinson has lost in East Dunbartonshire.

Conservatives, with the exception of Scotland, have had a great night. Their political enemies have been electorally decimated.

But friends are expressing disappointment in Scotland.
Speaking of Scotland...

Conservatives HOLD Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk

Con: 48.4% (-5.5%)
SNP: 38.8% (+6.0%)
LDem: 8.1% (+3.4%)
Lab: 4.7% (-3.9%)
Conservatives HOLD Hexham, notably one of the only in the region to increase their share.

Con: 54.5% (+0.4%)
Lab: 31.6% (-2.5%)
LDem: 10.1% (+3.0%)
Grn: 3.7% (+1.0%)

Paul Williams barely won Stockton South in 2017. He's going down in another Conservative GAIN over Labour.
Gordon Marsden held Blackpool South by roughly the same margin in 2015 and 2017. That seat goes in another Conservative Gain.
Conservatives were bullish on their chances in Sedgefield
and North West Durham earlier in the night. Last few calls lent credibility to that view.

Dewsbury, Redcar and Workington looking like potential Conservative Pickups.
UPDATE: Workington is a Conservative Gain. Near 10-point swing to Cons from Labour and 8k vote swing to 4k rough majority.
I think we're about to start really seeing those gains.

I just finished asking IG Horowitz about his investigation into the origins of the Russia investigation, which found the investigation was lawfully authorized and not impacted by bias, but also uncovered numerous issues related to the #FISA surveillance of Carter Page.
The #FISA abuses the IG found are serious and should be addressed. But remember that Carter Page’s section in the Mueller report was only 7 pages, out of 448 pages. Errors found by the IG didn't play a role in the Mueller report info or 37 indictments/convictions.
For years I’ve tried to convince more Republican senators to support #FISA reforms. I stand ready to make it more adversarial, to better protect First Amendment activity, and to require disclosure of exculpatory info. I hope more Rs now will join me.

IG Horowtiz on the Verge of Laying Another Egg

We're about to learn ... nothing new, and with no teeth to take any substantive action against the leadership responsible for the abuse of power. Some low level staffer may get thrown under the bus, but the leadership will skate.
I will wait for Durham's investigations for a more definitive reckoning on who was naughty and who was nice, with accompanying indictments.
And there you have it:

NYT: "... IG's report sharply criticized the F.B.I.’s handling of a wiretap application used in its Russia investigation but exonerated former bureau leaders of President Trump’s accusations that they engaged in a politicized conspiracy to sabotage him."

The @FBI’s #FISA warrant to #Spy on Trump campaign adviser @CarterWPage—a key part of the agency’s investigation of the Trump campaign—has been fraught with irregularities.

By Jeff Carlson @themarketswork (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/an-examination…
Ahead of the release of the #DOJ Inspector General's #FISAReport, we provide an overview of what exactly the known irregularities are.

The initiation of the investigation by @JusticeOIG was originally announced on March 28, 2018.
However, the #IGReport has been repeatedly pushed back and delayed.

IG #Horowitz declared his area of original focus within his initiation announcement:

THREAD: Deep State Government.

1. It is good to be aware and prepared for whatever might unfold after the exposure of darkness.

Once enough people become aware of the presence of evil, it will shift collective consciousness in a more aggressive way than we have yet experienced.
2. We are now very close to this event. Prepare well, as it may be traumatic for many.

Justice will only follow this shift in consciousness. It cannot lead our awakening. This may sound odd, but it is logical.

Evil will always hide without accountability and transparency.
3. Being awake to the “infrastructure of evil” ensures that humanity will demand it be dismantled. This process is already happening world-wide.

Just observe how different the dinner conversations are from two years ago!

It is happening.

Lindsey Graham is Nunes #2. Spouts Trump propaganda at #Barr hearing. Reads Strzok texts, slams Steele dossier, slams FBI opening counterintel investigation of Trump: “We’re relying on you to clean this place up…make sure they don’t have an agenda. Will u look into it?”—“I will”
#Barr says “nothing could be more dangerous than political interference” in an investigation. But also says it’s completely fine for a president to fire US attorneys for political reasons “because they’re political appointments” 🤔
#Barr: It would be a crime for president Trump to promise a pardon in exchange for a person not incriminating him in an investigation.

1. The 1996 Commonwealth Paedophile Inquiry in Australia is intriguing. It's scope had a direct connection to Dept of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) as well as overseas aid. Why?

The Minister of the day was @AlexanderDowner of #FISA fame.

#Pedogate
2. Downer also threw George Papadopoulos @GeorgePapa19 under the bus in an attempt to commence the fake Trump - Russia narrative.

abc.net.au/news/2018-09-2…

It's no coincidence that Downer did NOT want Trump elected.

Panic.
3. Also in 1996, the Wood Royal Commission into NSW police corruption was expanded to include paedophilia.

Truth was trying to surface. When truth shines its light, the distractions and distortions also become visible.
