Was trolling for damaging information, trolling for sources, trolling for anything to fuel the pony russian theory that were clipped up long before the summer of 2016. democrats should not breathed a sigh of relief. u.s. attorney john durham publicly came out to contest his findings saying, based on the evidence collected to date, last month we advised the inspector general that we do not agree with the other reports conclusions as to the predication and how the fbi case was opened. attorney gen...

Disagrees with the findings and says while our investigation is ongoing last month we advised the inspector general we do not agree with the reports conclusions predication and how the fbi case was open. and that is because they base so much of the fisa application on the steele dossier which they found out later was just a bunch of made up stuff. once they realized it they never said, by the way, judge, thats a bunch of made-up stuff. >> also indication this may expand much further than just th...

476-page report really offered a lot yesterday. some are calling it a mixed bag of conclusions. as you mentioned it certainly did not let the f.b.i. off the hook. at the same time it showed there were no major biases when investigating the trump campaign. no political biases. thats a key point right there. the big thing this morning were hearing from the president of the united states who was critical of the current f.b.i. director chris wray. lets talk a little bit about this reports findings. ...

The reports conclusions as to presented indication and how the f.b.i. case was open. bill barr said something similar. we await their finding as well. how will michael horowitz defend what he did yesterday knowing that he only spoke to those employed by the government and many who are former employees were not talked to? that will come likely from durham. >> boy, oh boy. these will be fast balls to hit. look, the truth is the horowitz report is big, big news. but what -- the announcements from d...

Leadership of the fbi and the fbi as a whole as having an authorized purpose for the investigation and a valid factual predicate for it. those are the two fundamental conclusions that the ig came to, and it seems supported by the facts. 170 interviews of 100 witnesses. 1 million pages of documents. these are not conclusions that were arrived at quickly or easily. it was the result of a lot of hard work by a dedicated career staff and inspector generals office. >> i want to ask you a little more ...

Russia investigation. fbi director chris wray says he supports the key conclusions of the report, that the opening of the investigation was not politically motivated. but that contrasts with the president and his attorney general bill barr who are both taking issue with the reports findings. lets bring in msnbcs julia ainsley closely following the asian. i want to read this key finding of the ig report. it says this. we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or impr...

Witnessed exonerate the individuals who had been attacked but address with 30 or 40 fixes, is that a proper response in your view? >> absolutely. you solicit responses from the agency thats been examined in the review and you hope they accept your findings and conclusions and accept the recommendations, and that is exactly what director wray in whats appended to the ig report. thats completely standard and to be expected. >> and so what explains what is not standard or even i didnt expect, which...

Terms of their motives for investigating the campaign and the ties to russia cleared yesterday by the ig, exonerated from the smears, the accusations of treatson. >> its troubling we have a president who targets people for an investigation. its troubling once people are exonerated after a thorough investigation, the conclusions are not accepted and instead you have a second backup duplicate investigation thats designed to come to a different conclusion. you mentioned before the statement that se...

Team he found that the fbi had a legitimate reason to open the investigation. now horowitz did find some wrongdoing. i dont want to gloss over it. it includes the mishandling of an application to monitor a trump campaign official. that would be the one and only carter page. overall horowitz found the investigation was justifieds thats roughly what was expected, but heres the craziest thing. when the ig report was released, attorney general william barr came in and immediately disputed its conclu...

Specifically on this inspector generals report which doesnt just clear the fbi and the justice department in term os of their handling of the mike flynn investigation. it concludes this whole fantasy that the whole russia investigation was a deep state plot designed to sabotage donald trumps political chances, the inspector general chased down the fuzzy threads of their hair ball conspiracy theory and found it to all be nonsense. look at the conclusions of the report. theres a long executive sum...
