In the Senate IG hearing today, Josh Hawley asked a rhetorical question that really summed up what happened with the FBI’s FISA abuses laid out in the IG report:

"Which is worse, is it worse to have a foreign government trying to meddle in our elections or is it worse to have our own government meddling in the election? "Because that's exactly what this report shows." pic.twitter.com/sSrvDjAXpk — Elizabeth Harrington (@LizRNC) December 11, 2019







“Which is worse, is it worse to have a foreign government trying to meddle in our elections or is it worse to have our own government meddling in the election? Because that’s exactly what this report shows.”

He’s absolutely right and this is exactly what some on our side have been saying for years. While some may be getting lost in the minutia of what happened, this is a great way to sum it up because it gets to the heart of what happened.

In fact Hawley, in a similar spirit as Ted Cruz, lauded the DNC and the Clinton campaign for the effectiveness of this opposition research in that the FBI used it to start an investigation into their opponent, the Trump campaign.
