Thread: The IG Report, Proof that Both the FBI and Media Need a Reckoning
At 728 PM on Monday the OIG released the long-awaited report on FISA abuse perpetrated by the FBI against members of the Trump campaign and their Crossfire Hurricane spying operation.
The media had been doing their best to pre-emptively draw people attention away from it, and have since been in full spin mode, while their coworkers in the DNC have been providing every distraction they can come up with.
But no matter how much spin they put on it, anyone who has read the report for themselves, is an honest broker or listened to the AG Barr interviews the day after the report dropped will tell you the same thing: it’s damning .

“Hey sorry to interrupt, I’m just here for Jeongguk. I signed him out. ”
multiple pairs of eyes watch him walk over to the boy in the back with his head down and hood up, and taehyung lightly shakes him awake.
“Gguk? Baby? let’s go home, okay? ”
