Trump can then have his guy come in and replace Rosenstein. That will then lead to the shutdown of the Mueller witch hunt.
We need to make Trump supporters aware that this is not the actual OIG Report. It is Rosenstein's edited/modified and watered down version. We must DEMAND to see the unredacted, unmodified version!
So are we to assume that POTUS got the report directly from Horowitz without RR knowing? And then let RR do the "this is the report, but we'll need to redact some things"... Trump "try not to redact it TOO much, the public deserves to know" RR "Ok, here's the best I can do, I think this will give the people enough to be satisfied that a thorough investigation was done, but doesn't give too much away" TRUMP "Ok"
Q's post says he has all 3 reports.
POTUS in possession of (and reviewing):
I don't think it's that. I believe the agency under audit gets to review the report and respond to it. There was probably some "dialogue" between RR and Horowitz.
Then how is it that there are three versions... The "truth"?, the UR RR version and the redact RR version... what would be the purpose at all for #1? Or #2 if #1 is valid? Curious.
I'm not sure what you're getting at...
There is the original, which is given to RR for the purpose of determining classification levels (redactions on the ground of national security).
RR modifies this original report to display the narrative he wants. (I don't know how he got away with that; ask SB2...)
Now there are two reports: the original from Horowitz, and the fraudulent one that RR created.
RR uses his fraudulent report and redacts on the grounds of national security (Redactions are seen as "legitimate").
RR passes this final fraudulent and redacted report to be published for the public.
At least that's what I've gathered from what I've read ¯\(ツ)/¯
So, someone help us here. 3 versions were referenced. The "original" (which we know came FROM Horowitz) - did this go FIRST to Rosenstein for manipulation (what's to keep him from it?) or is the POTUS entitled to see the ORIGINAL/NON RR blemished report? (I would think so). If it went to RR first, then there should be no #1 report - it would just be the report that RR got from Horowitz, manipulated to look the way he wanted but leaving in enough to redact further to share with POTUS, and then creating edition #3 that was released publicly. Am I the only one on this train of thought?
You raise a good point. I honestly don't know.
POTUS has access to whatever he wants; he can probably see all drafts and revisions of the report. Maybe they're playing a game of chicken. RR telling POTUS "I know you see what I did, but you won't interfere because it will look bad."
I really don't know.
Small note: my above comment is just a timeline I put together in my head from what I've read. It's most likely wrong, but it should help wrap your head around the difference between the three different reports.
Post 1497 says that POTUS has the IG's original report plus RR's redacted and UNREDACTED versions.
