Quote of the day: The hoax that started it all
Moment by moment, the truth about corruption in Washington is coming out.
In a Senate hearing today, Michael Horowitz—Inspector General of the Justice Department—delivered a scathing blow to the narrative pushed by Democrats and their media allies about the FBI’s surveillance of the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
The Beltway media’s initial reaction to the report was predictable. Pundits cherry picked the parts they liked, while ignoring 17 separate falsehoods and omissions found across three surveillance applications used to justify the FBI monitoring a former Trump campaign adviser.
Fortunately, the truth often finds a way of coming to light. In today’s hearing, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) asked the tough, obvious questions that most reporters didn’t.
"Former FBI Director James Comey said this week that your report vindicates him. Is that a fair assessment?" Sen. Graham asked Horowitz.
His reply: “I think the activities we found here don't vindicate anybody who touched this.”
Rolling Stone: Horowitz report shows “years of breathless headlines were wrong.”
