      Horowitz declines to answer whether he thinks Comey should be fired. Goodlatte made a GREAT case that Comey should be fired for hurting Hillary's presidential campaign tho.

      Nadler asks did you find evidence of any crime by Comey. Horowitz defers. He is investigating Comey, and he has deferred questions abt criminal investigations, in part bc of McCabe referral.

      Note that the leaking of NY agents plays a really important role in BOTH the McCabe and Hillary investigation reports. And yet DOJ IG has not pursued Q of whether there was bias there.

          But I'm really happy that Darrell Issa noted that a conspiracy doesn't need to be successful to be charged. Bc that'll prolly be relevant on RU investigation.

          It's pretty telling that Jordan, the designated attack dog, has moved on from the IG Report. Jordan wants to include scope of Rosenstein August 2, 2017 memo w/in inquiry of FISA abuse, with which it has no relation.

          There's a logical problem with Horowitz' discussion here. He has JUST explained that they can't ID leakers bc so many contacts w/journos involved. Except that'd only be true if he doesn't know content of contact.

          Whose idea was it to put someone guilty of assaulting a journalist, Gianforte, on the HJC committee? Anyway, it's, ummm, ironic that he's the guy carrying the outrage of FBI contacts with the press.
