The Federalist<\/a> posted an article today about the Inspector General’s (IG) report on Operation Crossfire Hurricane.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

Sens. Chuck Grassley and Ron Johnson dropped that bombshell in a letter delivered<\/a> to Attorney General William Barr that requested Barr declassify the information hidden in the redacted footnotes. While the declassified version of the Grassley-Johnson letter did not identify the four footnotes at issue, a detailed analysis of the IG report suggests the redacted information concerned Christopher Steele\u2019s sources and potentially the FBI\u2019s purported predication for the launch of Crossfire Hurricane. These conclusions come from a deep-dive into the IG report read in tandem with the Grassley-Johnson letter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That letter noted that the senators had \u201creviewed the classified report of the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) with regard to the FBI\u2019s Crossfire Hurricane investigation, and [were] deeply concerned about certain information that remains classified.\u201d Their concern? \u201cThat certain sections of the public version of the report are misleading because they are contradicted by relevant and probative classified information redacted in four footnotes.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The next sentence is the key, as it establishes that the redacted information concerns not just a few details addressed in the IG report, but goes to the heart of the entire Crossfire Hurricane investigation: \u201cThis classified information is significant not only because it contradicts key statements in a section of the report, but also because it provides insight essential for an accurate evaluation of the entire investigation.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The author of the article reads between the lines to list the contradictions within the report and provides the connections between the parts of the report’s footnotes that were redacted and areas of the report those footnotes contradict. The bottom line here is that the redactions are made to protect the intelligence community–not in the interest of national security.<\/p>\n

The article concludes:<\/p>\n

Without Barr declassifying the information contained in these footnotes, as well as other material, such as the complete FISA applications, we\u2019ll just have to take Grassley and Johnson\u2019s word that the redacted information contradicts other portions of the IG report, making \u201ccertain sections of the public version of the report\u201d \u201cmisleading.\u201d However, given the accuracy and honesty of Rep. Devin Nunes\u2019 memo on FISA abuse, I\u2019m inclined to trust the Republican senators.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s time for full disclosure. The people in the government who misused their power seem very comfortable with the idea that they will not be held accountable for their misconduct. I hope they are wrong.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
