Some critics of special counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the Russian collusion inquiry have mistakenly cited the 2019 Justice Department’s inspector general report to defend the FBI from Durham’s claim of widespread political bias, the Washington Examiner reported on Wednesday.

But Michael Horowitz’s 2019 report, in fact, revealed that the FBI acted improperly on numerous occasions and potentially due to political bias while carrying out the Russia probe.

This means that instead of providing the FBI’s defenders with cover, Horowitz’s report actually revealed extensive misconduct and even illegal activity.

“They continue to say Horowitz looked at this and said he didn’t see any evidence of bias,” Andrew McCarthy, a former U.S. attorney, told the Washington Examiner. “That’s almost the opposite of what he says.”
