g**********1 发帖数: 1 | 1 The Justice Department’s internal watchdog is expected to find in a
forthcoming report that political bias did not taint top officials running
the FBI investigation into possible coordination between Russia and the
Trump campaign in 2016, while at the same time criticizing the bureau for
systemic failures in its handling of surveillance applications, according to
two U.S. officials.
The report due out Dec. 9 from Inspector General Michael Horowitz will
allege that a low-level FBI lawyer inappropriately altered a document that
was used as part of a controversial application for electronic surveillance
of a former Trump campaign adviser, the officials said. The inspector
general referred that finding to U.S. Attorney John Durham, so that he may
investigate it as a possible crime, they said.

But Horowitz will conclude that the application still had a proper legal and
factual basis, according to the officials, who like others spoke on the
condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive report. | g**********1 发帖数: 1 | |
