The details in the IG report are damning to say the least. The report is way more serious than I thought it would be.
Ignore the IG conclusions part.
Barr and Durham will have be the final say.

Too true! He may not be literally slapping these leftist pieces of filth around with a baseball bat (which may seem appropriate in times of peak frustration), but he sure is figuratively knocking the absolute stuffing out of them. Good on him!
If only we had a balanced media that would with that video...

Among the things to keep is mind is that the IG is not empowered by statute to address criminal issues. This is why this is a "light" report. To say that Horowitz failed to recommend criminal charges is not ture. It never was in his authorization.
He makes recommendations to the DOJ so the OPM can do their thing but it's behind this IG or any other to file charges or recommend them.

Democrat Counsel Barry Berke Plays Deceptively Edited Video of Trump at Impeachment Hearing
Barry Berke, the counsel for House Democrats at Monday’s impeachment hearing at the House Judiciary Committee, played the same deceptively-edited video clip of President Donald Trump that Democrats had used in last week’s hearing of legal experts.
Burke played a clip of the president saying, “Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president.”
He did not play the full context — or even the full sentence.
As Breitbart News noted last Friday, the clip was taken from a speech by the president on July 23 to a Turning Point USA youth group conference in Washington, DC.
The president was specifically discussing his power under Article II to fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller — which he had not done — just as he had discussed that power in a June interview on ABC News in similar terms.
Mueller was due to testify in Congress the day after the Turning Point USA conference.
The president’s full remarks, in context, were:
… 500 subpoenas. They did everything. Their collusion? No collusion. They have no collusion [Applause] Then I have an Article II, where I have the right to do whatever I want as president, but I don’t even talk about that. Because they did a report and there was no obstruction. After looking at it, our great Attorney General read it, he’s a total professional, he said, “There’s nothing here, there’s no obstruction.” So they referenced, no obstruction. So you have no collusion, no obstruction. And yet it goes on. And they think this is helping them. I personally think it’s hurting them. A lot of people think it’s very bad for them. But it just goes on. But I wrote something out this morning on a thing called Twitter, whether we like it or not [Applause] it is a good way of getting the word out. Because I saw Mueller was testifying, yeah.
Berke noted that the president was “responding to the prior investigation by [the] Department of Justice,” but claimed that Trump believed, quoting President Richard M. Nixon, “If the president does it, it is not illegal.”
He said that Trump “has said the same thing,” then played the clip.
Berke then claimed that Trump was declaring that “he has the right to do whatever he wants as president,” linking it to Nixon’s remarks and omitting Trump’s context, which concerned his specific power to hire and fire executive branch employees.

Beginning of each impeachment testimony began with a swearing in of the witnesses so that their testimony was under oath.
But not today.
Barry Berke was not sworn in when he gave his opening opinion, effectively serving as a witness. Then Barry Berke took the role of a prosecutor asking questions.
Did Nadler simply forget about the swearing in, or was this pre-planned?
Opps, sdy already mentioned this on page 299, go to his post for a good read.

Yeah well fuck you Berke! Seems to me the last guy to occupy the White House said "Elections have consequences and I won"
So how about you stop your playground theatrics and try to suck it up and act like a man and not a safe space pajama boy. You're chosen bitch didn't win and elections have consequences remember?

Not sworn in you can't perjure yourself. Go ahead and tell all the fairy tales you want. No worries about perjury charges. n

House Democrats plan to announce their formal articles of impeachment on Tuesday morning, a sign that they're going to go full steam ahead with impeachment proceedings before Christmas.
House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Eliot Engel (D-NY) made the announcement following a late night meeting with Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Monday, CNN reported.
The Tuesday morning announcement is expected to be made by the Democratic Chairmen of various Committees, like House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY), House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA), House Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) and House Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY).

I’m not a fan of Dana Perino but she stated today that the longer this impeachment bullshit continues, President Trump is polling higher and higher in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan.
So keep going demoncrats and you’ll just ensure a Trump victory next year.

In Rep Matt Gaetz’s video above from 1:10 - 2:15 is golden.
“Do you think if you’d have given more money you would have been able to both ask questions and answered them like Mr. Berke did?” pause “I guess your still pondering that.”

I know this seems like something unrelated to all of this but I still can’t help but wonder:
