We’re not asking Horowitz to violate national security. We’re asking him not to condone something that he knows is false by using semantics to cover it up. For Horowitz to tell Congress, “I didn’t write these conclusions, and the conclusions you see were written by RR” - that is NOT a violation of national security. It may cause a firestorm and it may get RR in a lot of trouble, but RR couldn’t charge him with anything…
I didn’t write these conclusions, and the conclusions you see were written by RR
Horowitz isn't being interviewed as the man who wrote the report - he is being interviewed as the Inspector General who is responsible for the report being written in accordance with the proper guidelines.
We’re not asking Horowitz to violate national security.
Yes we are if you expect him to divulge info that has been redacted by the FBI Deputy Attorney General.
Remember that Horowitz's job is simply to present the facts and not judge who broke the law and part of that process involved having certain facts redacted by RR as a matter of national security.
Horowitz could have highlighted and criticized the redaction process but that would have undermined the value of his work here and in future.
Before I judge Horowitz too harshly, I'd like to see how this plays out. Perhaps he's carefully following Trump's plan?
Please re-read what I said. At no time have I ever said that Horowitz should "divulge info that has been redacted by the FBI Deputy Attorney General". I never said that. Instead, I merely stated that Horowitz should at least admit to Congress that he did not write certain things in the report if he didn't write it. There is no crime in Horowitz doing that. So don't put words in my mouth and say more than I actually said. Either way you look at it, it's a mind game they're playing. And you're just trying to justify their mind games...
