After the appalling efforts by the corporate media regarding Horowitz's testimony, I think it is time for a separate thread. If you only read/watched the corporate media, you would have come away with the impression that the FBI and COmey were "vindicated" (a word that was used profusely on the MSM). If you bothered to listen to the ACTUAL testimony, it was a deeply troubling rebuke of the FBA and DOJ.
Graham: “The former FBI director James @Comey said this week that your report vindicates him. Is that a fair assessment of your report?”
Horowitz: “The activities we found here don’t vindicate anybody who touched this.”
The press bent over backward to highlight when Horowitz said he could not definitively prove that political bias drove the decisions that he upbraided as errors, omissions and misleading.
Anyone with a shred of intellectual curiosity would wonder what he actually did find. He found severe malfeasance, and while he couldn't PROVE political bias (often witnesses claimed ignorance or forgetfulness), there is plenty of evidence to paint a pretty clear picture. Here he is , when asked about bias, claiming the actions of the FBI were "inexplicable"

"It’s fair for people to look at all of these 17 events and wonder how it could be pure incompetence,” said Horowitz.
Meanwhile, NPR,ABC,CBS, NBC and CNN were claiming there was nothing there Heck, CNN even went so far as to cut from republican statements and questions BUT carry dem statements live...what bias?
