The Hill: Horowitz investigation expected to find Russia probe valid, but flawed: report
An investigation by the Justice Department's internal watchdog is expected to find that the FBI’s Russia probe was valid but flawed, The Associated Press reported Sunday.

WNU Editor: The person who is the responsible for this investigation is not optimistic that this Department of Justice Inspector General's report will be telling the full story .... Carter Page: Horowitz report will only tell 'part of the story' (The Hill). More here .... Carter Page, on eve of DOJ IG report, says findings will only tell 'part' of the story (FOX News). I think Carter Page is right .... there must be a lot of information that they will want to keep classified and not released to the public. The US Attorney General also has some reservations .... Bill Barr's Reservations About the IG Report (RCP). As to what's my take. The IG report will focused on FISA irregularities, and the role that the FBI played. We also now know that the Trump campaign was under surveillance, and that President Trump's claims that he was being "spied on" are true. There is also now a full fledged criminal investigation into potential FBI and Justice Department misconduct in the run-up to the 2016 election by U.S. Attorney John Durham. I expect this IG report is going to illuminate the reasons why Durham's probe has become a criminal inquiry. What I am also looking forward to is Inspector General Michael Horowitz's testimony to Congress on Wednesday. My gut tells me that if this hearing is open to the public, we are going to get answers to questions that many of us have been waiting for a very long time.
