      It’s strange how Mueller leaks right on cue whenever there’s another story breaking, in this case an IG investigation into FISA abuse and more incriminating texts from Strzok/Page. It’s as though the leaks are deliberately timed to divert attention, funny how that works 🤔

      Legal filings submitted in response to legal filings submitted by Manafort in hopes of generating a response are as far from leaks as you can get. And you totally misunderstand what happened with Horowitz.

      No, I fully understood this is a toothless exercise. For me, the bigger story was the Strzok/Page texts, as they imply illegal coordination between Brennan and the Obama administration, that’s going to be the headline story.

      If by "toothless exercise" you mean, "the proper response to the pseudo-scandal GOPers have been clinging to for six months." To the extent it's toothless it's bc there's no there there.

      Oh? Then why would an investigation by the guy who got Andrew McCabe be fired ever be considered toothless?

      The IG has no prosecutorial power, he can only make recommendations.

      Ah. I get it now. You don't understand FISA and don't understand the designated punishment even if your most feverish dreams were true. Welp, PERHAPS you've got your understanding of what is and is not "toothless" misplaced.

      I don't get that FISA has certain penalties built in that would apply if your most feverish dreams were true? But I can point to that in the law--I've written more about it than anyone.

          OK, I’ll bite. If FISA applications were fraudulent, I’m fine with whatever the outcome. The Strzok texts imply illegal coordination, the FBI have assigned 27 additional people to release more texts to comply with Congressional subpoenas, and that’s the bigger story.

          Marcy, have you done an analysis piece on this subject since that news broke? Always interested to learn more about how it all works, & curious about Horowitz's reputation.
