Republicans have been making predictions for months. They say the soon-to-be-released report from Department of Justice (DOJ) Inspector General Michael Horowitz will be a blockbuster, calling out important former intelligence officials for shocking, bad-faith acts involving spying on political rivals.
Democrats, on the other hand, have been saying they expect the Horowitz report to validate the FBI’s controversial wiretaps of a Trump associate during the 2016 campaign and into 2017.
If Horowitz’s prior reports are any indication, we can probably expect some of both. If the inspector general has proven to be one thing, it’s diplomatic.

I don't expect much of anything from this report.
I will be greatly surprised if anything come out of it.

Horowitz is a Obama appointee, and is therefore, not to be trusted, essentially guaranteed to be a Deep State minion. He will point out lots of criminal acts....and they excuse them for various invalid reasons.
I hope that Barr will be sending down more indictments soon, lots of them, and they need to be filed in Salt Lake City.

Never mind the IG report. I want to see DOJ indictments for the FBI, CIA, Hillary !!! State Department, Hillary !!!'s advisors, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Lindsay Graham and every other servant of we the people who cashed in on the Ukrainian money laundering cash cow. And REAL prison time so what's left of the swamp gets it that they'd better just lay low and do their jobs.

Attkisson may be good, but Margot Cleveland at The Federalist is better. Read her article on the Horowitz report, posted here:

#2, would rather see them filed in OK or TX - SLC is run by the Reid group/Unions. Preferably a small town county seat in OK or TX, as the larger metropolises are loaded with leftards.

"If the inspector general has proven to be one thing, it’s diplomatic."
Justice is not diplomatic. We know how our "diplomats" have failed and how they are more interested in appearance than concrete actions.
Another way to look at this is that Horowitz is just another bureaucrat, working off a script, trying to not rock the boat too much, and protecting his personal opinion and career by giving the benefit of the doubt to the government. Thinking and acting like this is why our government is at a dead end. It is why Trump's way of doing things is shaking things up. He doesn't do things "by the book" (although he follows law). He does what works and what is right. His patience for dealing with bureaucratic fools is limited and there are a lot of fools in the government.
Overall, what this feels like is that the IGs work is a large waste of time and their power is largely impotent. That is not how IGs are sold to the public. When things go wrong, everyone is waiting for the IG's report. Yet, it is a politically correct document of little worth that provides political fig leaf coverage to the bureaucracy.
When we ask, "Who guards the gates?", the answer is beginning to look like, "No one.". That explains how we are now so far down the rabbit hole into Wonderland.

#6, it is more like the old Roman saying, "Who will guard the guardians?"
The "guardians" are the FBI, CIA, DoJ, etc and the man assigned to "guard" them was Horowitz, and he is probably going to do mostly a whitewash, not a genuine report.

It has been POSTED! Follow the link on Sundance's site.
I read through it quickly and they throw Bruce Ohr under the bus. Also, sends all in the chain of command back to FISA school for remedial training.
