Horowitz: ‘There Was Evidence’ of Political Bias and Record Changing that Looks Like Malfeasance’

PAUL I would say ░░░░░░░░ when we look at ░░░░░░░░ I guess the first ░░░░░░░░ would be a short ░░░░░░░░ just to reiterate and ░░░░░░░░ sure it s very ░░░░░░░░ you did find evidence ░░░░░░░░ biased individuals who were ░░░░░░░░ with the involved with ░░░░░░░░ investigation HOROWITZ That s ░░░░░░░░ PAUL OK I think ░░░░░░░░ s very clear And ░░░░░░░░ it difficult to determine ░░░░░░░░ people s motives are ░░░░░░░░ whether they re biased ░░░░░░░░ not biased HOROWITZ It ░░░░░░░░ very difficult PAUL All ░░░░░░░░ And so just by ░░░░░░░░ you didn t find ░░░░░░░░ it doesn t mean ░░░░░░░░ didn t exist it ░░░░░░░░ t mean you couldn ░░░░░░░░ have had 15 people ░░░░░░░░ biased who influenced every ░░░░░░░░ of their decisions you ░░░░░░░░ can t prove it ░░░░░░░░ We we couldn t ░░░░░░░░ it we lay out ░░░░░░░░ what we can prove ░░░░░░░░ OK One specific instance ░░░░░░░░ d like to ask ░░░░░░░░ about though The OGC ░░░░░░░░ is the one I ░░░░░░░░ you ve referred for ░░░░░░░░ evaluation correct HOROWITZ I ░░░░░░░░ just say we ve ░░░░░░░░ to the attorney general ░░░░░░░░ the FBI PAUL OK ░░░░░░░░ for possible and that ░░░░░░░░ the possible criminal evaluation ░░░░░░░░ also had text messages ░░░░░░░░ said viva la resistance ░░░░░░░░ you interpreted those to ░░░░░░░░ or what was your ░░░░░░░░ Does that show that ░░░░░░░░ might have had some ░░░░░░░░ against the Trump administration ░░░░░░░░ Well he was one ░░░░░░░░ the individuals last in ░░░░░░░░ year s report precisely ░░░░░░░░ those text messages that ░░░░░░░░ were referred to the ░░░░░░░░ precisely for that concern ░░░░░░░░ But you interpreted that ░░░░░░░░ an evidence of bias ░░░░░░░░ I guess my question ░░░░░░░░ be if you saw ░░░░░░░░ he was biased he ░░░░░░░░ obviously made errors that ░░░░░░░░ think actually may have ░░░░░░░░ intentional Why in that ░░░░░░░░ would you not be ░░░░░░░░ to say that there ░░░░░░░░ documentary evidence of not ░░░░░░░░ bias but then malfeasance ░░░░░░░░ That s precisely why ░░░░░░░░ don t say that ░░░░░░░░ to the errors and ░░░░░░░░ failures in the FISA ░░░░░░░░ PAUL Right But could ░░░░░░░░ then specifically say the ░░░░░░░░ that actually in this ░░░░░░░░ there actually was evidence ░░░░░░░░ political bias and evidence ░░░░░░░░ record changing that looks ░░░░░░░░ malfeasance HOROWITZ There is ░░░░░░░░ of both I agree ░░░░░░░░ you PAUL OK HOROWITZ ░░░░░░░░ we will do let ░░░░░░░░ want to make sure ░░░░░░░░ s a fair process ░░░░░░░░ PAUL That s fine ░░░░░░░░ I and I think ░░░░░░░░ chairman is very correct ░░░░░░░░ the media has misinterpreted ░░░░░░░░ you ve said and ░░░░░░░░ conclusions that I don ░░░░░░░░ think are accurate as ░░░░░░░░ what you re saying ░░░░░░░░ people should read the ░░░░░░░░ And the report is ░░░░░░░░ damning as to the ░░░░░░░░ whether it s bias ░░░░░░░░ not there are problems.”
