“The activities we found here don’t vindicate anybody who touched this,” Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz testified Wednesday — as direct a slap at former FBI chief Jim Comey as you could ask for.

Horowitz was walking the Senate Judiciary Committee through his report on FBI and Justice Department malfeasance in Crossfire Hurricane, the investigation into the 2016 Trump campaign. Bottom line, as Sen. John Kennedy put it: Misfire Hurricane would’ve been more accurate.

The outrages went far beyond the “17 significant errors or omissions” in applications to spy on onetime Trump foreign-policy adviser Carter Page. Horowitz found FBI violations “from top to bottom.”

Comey claims the report vindicates him and his FBI leadership because it cites no evidence that bias or improper motives influenced decision-making in the investigation.

But it’s hard to see how accidental bungling can explain the lies, misrepresentations and overreach of the FBI. “It’s either sheer incompetence, intentionality or something in between,” Horowitz testified.

The rules (and the law) clearly forbade deceiving the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court in order to get the OK to wiretap Page — which is what the FBI did, with Justice Department higher-ups either clueless or indifferent to repeated deceptions.

Those deceptions include concealing the fact that Page had freely worked to expose past Russian espionage, and that investigators rapidly realized the Steele dossier — a key basis for the FISA warrants — was a pack of manure.

Nor did the rules allow for investigators’ massive — and also deceptive — leaking to the press, leading the public to think that lawmen had serious grounds to suspect Team Trump colluded with Moscow.

That lie consumed three years of the Trump presidency — even as three years of investigation never found the least shred of evidence of collusion.

Yes, Paul Manafort and his partner went to prison for unrelated crimes, and some others pleaded guilty to process violations for misleading investigators. But none of it had anything to do with the Trump campaign.

Horowitz shows that America’s top law enforcers, with help from the media, ginned up a phony scandal that all but kneecapped a presidency. We look forward to the criminal charges when US Attorney John Durham finishes his larger-scale investigation.
