House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz got roped into a politically-motivated scheme to protect President Trump, laying the groundwork to discredit the government watchdog's work as he nears completion of a report on alleged surveillance abuses by the DOJ and FBI.

At the Aspen Security Forum this weekend, Schiff accused top Justice Department officials of pandering to Trump by instigating a "fast track" report last year about former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. His comments came as part of a broader answer to a question about whether he has concerns about Attorney General William Barr's review of the origins of the Russia investigation.

Schiff claimed the president wanted McCabe, who briefly took over as acting FBI director after Trump fired James Comey in May 2017, investigated and his pension taken away and suggested someone such as former Attorney General Rod Rosenstein obliged the president by making a referral.

"The inspector general found that McCabe was untruthful. He may very well have been untruthful," the California Democrat said, but noted that is not where main his concern lies.

A sure sign Democrats are scared of the revelations coming in IG Horowitz’s report on the FISA warrants
By Thomas Lifson

We still don’t know when the much-delayed Inspector General’s Report on the FISA warrants used to spy on the Trump campaign will come out, but it looks like it might be fairly soon. Prior to release of any IG report, the people mentioned in it are shown the sections concerning them and offered the opportunity to state their rebuttal or comments.

That process may be underway, it appears. That’s because Representative Adam Schiff, the leading Russia Hoax conspiracy theorist. who would likely hear about sections of the report sent to his friends for comment, is pre-emptively attempting to discredit Horowitz himself.

Why not wait until you read the report, Charlie Brown?

"Now an answer is emerging. Sources tell RealClearInvestigations that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz will soon file a report with evidence indicating that Comey was misleading the president. Even as he repeatedly assured Trump that he was not a target, the former director was secretly trying to build a conspiracy case against the president, while at times acting as an investigative agent."

Whoever signed off on those 4 FISA warrants committed a felony. Yates, Rosenstein, McCabe, Commy and who knows who else signed off on them.

Hmmmm ... hmmmmmmm ....... hmmm, aligning my ProgSpeak Decoder ... what Schiff actually said is, "Inspector General Horowitz will reveal facts we don't want to hear or be heard."
