Inspector general on fisa abuse is expected to be detailed, brutal, and devastating in its conclusions. We can tell you, we expect that report to determine that those fisa warrants, the back door spying on the Trump Campaign transition, then presidency were in fact illegally obtained, thats what we are expecting. Remember, comey signed three of the four applications and the original one which was october 2016 but he told trump Something Else in january. Today they released only a narrow sliver of information, its brutal, a small part of what will be coming in the weeks ahead. It is a stunning and harsh rebuke to the former fbi director but lets be clear, this is exactly what a few weeks ago we told you exactly what it would be, we were not wrong. Narrow, limited in scope with referrals that the ag has declined to act on. All of this we reported to you weeks ago. Tonight, we do know james comey is in fact not the super patriot he claims, we know him to be a leader and a buyer, the Inspe

Years was a total lie, the report was a disaster for bureaucratic class in washington but also a big, big problem for the American News media. They were exposed as liars and no nothing. Howie are media organizations just flatout taking sides and why did cnn having covered every minute of the democratic hearings blow off Opening Statements in Lindsey Grahams statements . William barr defends the president over ig report, does the attorney general deserve denunciations hes getting from the press, im howard kurtz and this is media buzz. Howie after long week of hearings, the House Judiciary Committee did on friday what everyone on the planet was expecting and approved articles of impeachment, strictly party line vote. Article 1 of the resolution, impeaching donald j. Trump for abuse his powers. Mr. Chairman, 32 yeas. Its a very bad thing for the country.

This has been swirlging around in trumps head and peddled by trumps own lawyer others who talk about it on fox. Sometimes they took bits of information that was true and then blew them up to much the information became distorted and mis
