About the coming Horowitz report:
Since Twitter thread makers (who collectively have more influence than the MSM) have taken the position that high ranking people in the Obama administration will be prosecuted for their involvement in Spygate the MSM must counter that narrative.

2) The fact that the NY Times received leaked information about the Horowitz report & published an article claiming no one of consequence will be prosecuted tells you what the larger strategy of the MSM will be regarding the report.
3) In the coming weeks, we can expect the media to collectively and repeatedly insist that the Horowitz report is a nothing burger. No one of consequence will be prosecuted for their involvement in Spygate. That is the overarching narrative the mainstream media will push.
4) Because so many Trump supporters still rely on the narrative put forth by the mainstream media, we can expect confusion, despair and concern trolling over the Horowitz report which has not been released and which no one knows the details of outside of a few people in the DOJ.
5) Between now and the day the report is released, you can expect a lot of empty hype about the Horowitz report.
6) After the IG report is released, expect the media to continue pushing their narrative that the report is a nothing burger and that Trump supporters engaged in a 3-year long conspiracy theory that the deep state was going to be decimated by it.
7) What the media have done and what they will continue to do is conflate two separate DOJ responsibilities in an intentional effort to confuse and demoralize Trump supporters while downplaying the likelihood of their own prosecution.
8) Let me briefly explain what an Inspector General does.
Each Government agency or department has an Inspector General. The 73 Inspectors General act as internal watchdogs for their respective agencies and departments.

9) The Inspectors General investigate claims of wrongdoing—typically violations of policy or procedure— and issue reports on their findings. They recommend disciplinary action to department heads. On rare occasions, they may refer a case to the DOJ for criminal prosecution.
10) The DOJ Inspector General does not do criminal investigations. They don't evaluate testimony and documents in the context of a criminal complaint. Their focus is on violations of department policy and procedure, not violations of criminal statutes.
11) If an Inspector General does find evidence of criminal behavior they have to make a judgment call on whether to refer the individual for prosecution. Many times they chose not to.
12) When an Inspector General makes a criminal referral, sometimes it is investigated and prosecuted but not always. DOJ policy is to prosecute the most serious and readily provable charges.
13) When James Comey was referred by IG Horowitz for leaking his memos, the DOJ opted not to prosecute him for it, probably because leaking memos is not a serious matter and convincing a jury of his intent would be fraught with problems. (It isn't easily provable.)
14) The decision by IG Horowitz to recommend prosecution (or not) for those involved in Spygate is irrelevant. The DOJ doesn't need criminal referrals from Horowitz to prosecute those involved in Spygate.
15) U.S. Attorney Durham has been investigating Spygate for 2 years. We know that he is currently interrogating high-level people like John Brennan. AG Barr is personally involved in the investigation and they've been talking to intelligence agencies overseas.
16) The media will use the IG report to paint the narrative that no one of consequence will be prosecuted. They'll conflate the responsibilities of IG Horowitz and US Attorney Durham, and claim that Horowitz's recommendations are what really matter.
17) If Horowitz doesn't make criminal referrals, the media will insist Spygate is a right-wing conspiracy theory.
Conservative concern trolls will insist Barr and the DOJ are corrupt and nothing has changed.
Get ready for it now, because that narrative is coming.

18) The Horowitz report is irrelevant regarding criminal prosecution.
It is, however, a hand map that will connect Spygate players with their actions. It will expose bad actors who are, at present, believed to be patriots & further expose the crimes of people we know are corrupt.

19) In the same way that last year's IG report exposed media collusion with the FBI, the coming IG report will expose the fact that the media published leaked classified intelligence and colluded with the CIA, FBI, DOJ, State Department and White House to overthrow Donald Trump.
20) I expect some reporters to face prosecution. (It's in the self-interest of the media to push a narrative that no one of consequence will be prosecuted since they have as much to lose as anyone.)
21) My recommendation (if you want it) is to be aware that a fake media narrative is coming and ignore it as much as possible. After the IG report is released, do your best to digest it and use the facts contained in it to connect the dots and paint the big picture.
22) In order to avoid civil unrest as high-level people are indicted, the public must first be made aware of the facts regarding their crimes. I suspect that after the public has had time to digest the IG report and make sense of any declassified documents, we'll see indictments.

Spygate is a complex matter to understand but the Clinton Foundation corruption is even more difficult.
After Durham's Spygate investigation has been digested by normies, they'll be prepared to hear about Huber's work on the Clinton Foundation and Uranium One.
