IG Horowitz Stealth-Edits FISA Abuse Report to Cover-Up Discrepancy About FBI’s Use of Spies Into Trump’s Campaign

The Inspector General’s report on FISA abuse was stealth-edited after its first publication in December of 2019 to cover-up a major discrepancy of the FBI’s use of CHSs [Confidential Human Source] into the Trump campaign.

The IG report on FISA abuse has two statements on the FBI’s use of CHSs into the 2016 Trump campaign that contradict each other.

In chapter 10 of the original report, the IG claimed that the FBI didn’t use any CHSs to infiltrate Trump’s campaign prior to the FBI opening Crossfire Hurricane in July of 2016.

However, in the next chapter of the original report, the IG contradicted itself and stated that the Crossfire Hurricane team “tasked several CHSs and UCEs during the 2016 presidential campaign, which resulted in multiple interactions with Carter Page and Papadopoulos, before and after they were affiliated with the Trump campaign, and an interaction with a high-level Trump campaign official…”

This means the FBI was running spies at George Papadopoulos prior to July of 2016, an admission that Joseph Mifsud, who approached Papadopoulos is March of 2016 was probably a CHS (spy).

IG Horowitz then stealth-edited this discrepancy to cover for the FBI and possibly cover for Mifsud’s role in spying on the Trump campaign because he approached Papadopoulos very early on.

In the edited version of Horowitz’s report, the IG claimed the Crossfire Hurricane team used CHSs on Carter Page and Papadopoulos during and after the time they were affiliated with the Trump campaign.

Our friends over at The Conservative Treehouse found the discrepancies:

In chapter ten of the report, on page #312 you will find the following information. The claim is that no-one in the FBI initiated any use of “Confidential Human Sources” into the campaign prior to opening the Crossfire Hurricane investigation. Read Carefully:
