On Friday’s “PBS NewsHour,” New York Times columnist David Brooks argued that DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report “vindicates” many of the things that House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Devin Nunes (R-CA) said.

Brooks said, “[F]rankly, this vindicates a lot of the — not everything, but a lot of the stuff Devin Nunes was saying…they weren’t playing fair. And so, this is a case where I don’t — maybe there wasn’t bias, but there was certainly a lot of incompetence, and there were certainly people getting over their skis in trying to pursue an investigation, maybe without as much cause as they pretended.”
