Subject: Travel Pool Report 8/Crosby arrival

 

The motorcade arrived at our venue in Crosby, Texas, at 3:50. President Trump will deliver remarks on executive orders to ease the construction of pipelines and other energy projects.

 

The event is at the International Union of Operating Engineers International Training and Education Center.

Upon our arrival in Crosby (population 2300), there were hundreds, and quite possibly thousands of people lining the streets to watch the motorcade. A large number wore red and waved either American flags or pro-Trump banners. There were few obvious Trump opponents, though one woman held a Mexican flag.

So disappointing to hear the Speaker of the House say she doesn’t trust the Attorney General regarding the Mueller report. The Oliver Stone wing of the Democratic party is growing.

Jordan, Meadows call for DOJ watchdog to testify once 2016 surveillance probe ends

Two conservative House members are calling on the head of the Oversight and Reform Committee to request the public testimony of a Justice Department (DOJ) watchdog once he concludes his probe into the use of surveillance warrants during the 2016 election.

 

Reps. Jim Jordan (Ohio), the top Republican on the Oversight panel, and Freedom Caucus colleague Mark Meadows (R-N.C.) in a letter on Wednesday pressed the panel's chairman, Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.), to secure a date for DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz to testify sometime this spring.

 

"As the committee of jurisdiction for inspectors general, we write to request that you invite Mr. Horowitz to publicly testify before the Committee immediately following the completion of his review," they wrote.

Jordan, Meadows and other Republicans have long been eager to see the probe's findings on whether federal authorities — who they claim were biased against President Trump during the 2016 election — misled a secretive court in order to obtain a surveillance warrant on Carter Page after he left the Trump campaign.

 

They allege that their anti-Trump animus influenced their actions as they conducted a counterintelligence investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

 

Their letter comes after Attorney General William Barr testified before the House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday that Horowitz is expected to complete his review in May or June of this year.

 

“The Office of the Inspector General has a pending investigation of the FISA [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] process in the Russia investigation and I expect that will be complete in probably May or June, I am told,” Barr replied.

 

“So, hopefully, we will have some answers from Inspector General Horowitz on the answer of the FISA warrants. More generally, I am reviewing the conduct of the investigation and trying to get my arms around all the aspects of the counterintelligence investigation that was conducted during the summer of 2016,” Barr added.

 

Barr also fueled GOP claims of surveillance abuse on Wednesday by stating that he does believe there was spying during the election, though he is examining whether it is improper or not.

 

“I think spying did occur,” Barr said. “But the question is whether it was adequately predicated. And I’m not suggesting it wasn’t adequately predicated, but I need to explore that.”

 

Though Barr appeared to later change his wording to mean improper surveillance, his remarks sparked immediate outrage among Democrats while eliciting praise among Republicans who say Barr is doing his job.
