FBI/INVESTIGATIONS/JUSTICE DEPARTMENT/RUSSIA/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT: “A highly anticipated review of the origins of the FBI’s investigation into potential collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia is set for release Monday [12-9-19], following last-minute signaling from President Donald Trump and his allies that the report may not much offer much in the way of blockbuster revelations that the probe was tainted by politics. Officially, the report by Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz is expected to focus on the accuracy and completeness of information the FBI and Justice Department presented to federal judges in order to obtain a secret surveillance warrant for former Trump foreign policy adviser Carter Page in October 2016 and to renew it on three occasions during the first half of 2017.”
