After watching this all day, I think Horowitz is handling this perfectly.

He knew exactly what was going to happen here today, and the questions that he would obviously be asked. Then he just gets to reply with honest answers.

The audit of all the other FISA applications, will likely show that this mishandling, is a peculiarly isolated incident. Why would that be?

Yeah, he’s been impressive, just won’t say what he really thinks. Playing it as a Politician trying to appease both sides, but you can tell he knows the FISA apart was bias, through and through

No, he's playing it as an Inspector General.

He is being very neutral which tells me that he is just handing this off to Durham and removing himself from the prosecutorial part of this ordeal. HE is obviously a very smart man but he is a coward because he knows they did this with intent but he doesn't;t have the balls to say it.

And the audit will highlight this.

Dems keep harping on “no bias” in the Opening, So case closed.

IG goes on to show the epic failure after the opening. That is where the bias is! But non stop about “opening” nothing about the action taken after.

He also points out the “high bar” to open such investigation is at sea level.

I think he can’t interject his perception because that would be subject to here say/speculation.

His perception cannot he backed up. Durham will be able to bridge that gap.

He can't say it. He's an Inspector General.

You folks really need to read up on what the purpose of an IG is, and more importantly what they can and can't say...especially in a hearing.

Very limited in scope. That's why Barr drafted Durham, who was granted the expansive powers of a Special Council.

He is aware that dossier is fake and that it was known to be fake at the time it was used to obtain FISA warrants. He knows there was political bias afoot.

He needs to say exactly what he is able to prove and let everyone infer on their own. The second he makes assumptions then the story becomes about him which is not what defenders of truth want.

His opinion of “no political bias” is a cop out IMO. When you take into consideration the steps this VERY SAME group of investigators took to EXONERATE Clinton and her allies (agreeing to destroy devices, allowing her aides to be her attorneys, not questioning her under oath, allowing her team to sort emails, stalling on the wiener laptop for over a month, not obtaining / investigating the DNC server themselves etc) AND their desire to avoid the political fallout from having to reveal Obama knew about and emailed her on the account

And compare that to

Obtaining an illegal fisa, spying, railroading anybody associated with trump, the anti-Trump texts messages, the numerous obstruction entrapments set by investigators etc against Trumps team..

There is ZERO DOUBT of political bias. ZERO. If there were any honest republicans in the senate, they point this shite out.
