Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s investigation into alleged abuse of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act by the DOJ and FBI will result in indictments, a Republican member of the House Judiciary Committee said Sunday.

Rep. Andy Biggs of Arizona made the prediction on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures, discussing Horowitz’s report last week FBI Director James Comey’s mishandling and leaking of memos on conversations he’d had with President Trump to spur the appointment of a special counsel. Biggs accused Comey of “dodging and weaving” in the wake of the revelations, and said Horowitz’s next report on FISA abuse would be even more devastating.

“I anticipate that we will see some very stark revelations of manipulation of the whole system for political purposes,” Biggs said. “When you see that happen, that's when I think you're going to see references or referrals for indictments, and I think you are going to see some indictments.”





The DOJ and FBI made extensive use of British ex-spy Christopher Steele’s unverified dossier in FISA filings targeting Trump campaign associate Carter Page. Steele put together his dossier in 2016 at the behest of the Clinton-funded opposition research firm Fusion GPS.

The congressman anticipated the FISA report will be released “probably mid-September.”

And the Arizona lawmaker pointed to the ongoing investigation by Attorney General William Barr and U.S. Attorney John Durham into the origins of the Trump-Russia investigation.

“I think you are going to see some accountability there,” Biggs said.
