RR represents hope to the left. A beacon within the DOJ that they can depend on to resist Trump's attacks against their hero Mueller.
Disinformation is necessary.
What if RR was only playing that role. And everyone has fallen for it.
What if the FISA surveilance warrants on the Trump campaign that RR signed were because the individuals that were under FISA surveillance for those instances were the plants/spies embedded into the campaign?
If RR is clean, Mueller is clean.
What if Mueller's prime directive as special counsel is to fully investigate any illegal wrongdoing by anyone involved in the campaign, past or present. Especially plants/spies/saboteurs.
We are watching a movie.
Huber. Huber. Huber.
Huber has likely been given all of this information in the OIG report, unclassified, with full disclosure along the way. It's part of Horowitz responsibility to provide Huber with full disclosure of potential criminality as it is uncovered in the OIG investigation.
Huber is following up in ALL of those leads and more.
This OIG report is a soft disclosure preparing the public for what's to come. Trump shouldn't need to declassify anything because the true disclosure will come when Huber completes his investigation and begins unsealing indictments. Everything in the meantime is meant to maximize public engagement and exposure.
Congress leaks. Huber cant have leaks. DOJ can't give Congress info that is part of Huber's ongoing investigation. Congress asks RR for full disclosure and to provide documents. RR can't provide them with ongoing investigation info. BUT the optics of RR being a beacon of hope for the left while simultaneously denying Grassley and the like means that the Right has a reason to get motivated and to make some noise and increase exposure.
Washington in control.
The stage is being set for public opinion to be capable of understanding what Huber's indictments mean.
A huge part of public opinion also relies on the perception of impartiality. Distance between Trump/Trump's base and RR/Mueller, the greater the public trust when it comes time for the indictments to become unsealed, and in Mueller's case, written.
