are you pissy with Horowitz about the predicate thing and the 'no bias' ? here's the thing with that 1) re Predicate: I think Horowitz meant the predicate was enough to bring the matter before the FISA court. Had it followed the rules, the court would have smacked it down and said 'no dice boys, get stronger evidence' - but that Judge's decision is a separate matter from the threshold of evidence to bring the matter BEFORE the judge to make a call? Get  it? Horowitz doesnt want to make the line so strict that he discourages FBI from applying at all 2) re Bias; as an Inspector and not someone who is a Prosecutor, it is a breach of his role, jurisdiction and Independence to comport any Motivation.  His role is to say WHETHER rules were broken, but not WHY he thinks they may have been broken. Even AG Barr would be hesitant to attribute motivation without the backing of a Grand Jury deciding that motive. Maybe Horowitz' language sucked a little - i'd have preferred him to say 'its not in my purview to attribute motive, thats something I have referred to Barr & Durham' - but either way you have to appreciate its unprofessional of him to declare what he thinks the motivation is behind the 17 breaches of process. That would be pre-judicial does that all make sense ?
