The talking heads on the magic box are again / still speculating that the Horowitz report into allegations of abuse of the FISA court process will becoming out in the next one or two weeks.
They are, however, offering a bit more specificity than similar assertions by the talking heads over the last month or so.
They are asserting that the report will flat-out state that the G hid exculpatory evidence. They are also asserting that several people, presumably Sally Yates and James Comey seeing as they signed the FISA warrant applications, committed fraud on the court. They are also asserting that criminal referrals will be made. (Remember that Horowitz is the Inspector General for the Attorney General's Office and does not function as an actual prosecutor himself.)
Again, as before, hope clouds reason. I think these basic assertions are true. I therefore hope that some of these slimeballs will in face have their hides nailed to the barn door. These feelings no doubt color my reasoning. There is no doubt in my mind that the "Administrative State" or "Deep State" depending on how you characterize the bureaucratic power structure in DC has acted in a manner calculated to remove a duly elected president from power and nullify a legal election. (Which does not necessarily mean that Trump isn't an asshole.)
Assuming I am right Trump will come out looking mostly like a persecuted good guy and Schiff, Pelosi, Nadler and the other anti-Trump psychopaths will come out looking like fools. That does not mean their power will be completely diminished. Their constituents are equally deluded and will continue to support them and elect them no matter what. I can't say that I don't care, but I can say that if Trump can hang in four more years and appoint a couple of more Supreme Court judges and a few dozen more assorted federal court judges I won't worry about it so much. If that happens the Republic will maybe-probably be more or less safe for my lifetime.
