The upcoming report on the counterintelligence investigation into Russia and President Donald Trumps campaign will show evidence of wrongdoing leading to a criminal investigation, Rep. John Ratcliffe (R-Texas) speculated on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesnt take 500 pages to tell the inspector general that everything was done properly,\u201d Ratcliffe, who is a member of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe IG report is going to find that there were problems,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He was referring to Inspector General Michael Horowitz, who has been investigating alleged misconduct regarding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FSIA) warrants delivered by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. In 2016, the Department of Justice and FBI got warrants in 2016 to monitor Carter Page, a Trump adviser, but its not clear if others were monitored.<\/p>\n

Ratcliffe then claimed that the current impeachment inquiry<\/a> of Trump is an attempt to counter-signal against the potential release of the inspector generals report.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Democrats are racing to get to through this impeachment as quickly as possible,\u201d he said. \u201cIts why we have eight witnesses and five hearings this week and were not doing any of the work because they know the inspector general report is likely to be damning about the origins of the 2016 investigation into the Trump campaign and the role that the Obama-Biden officials played in that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI can tell you that I know the inspector general is going to have to find that there were things that were done wrong, that there was exculpatory information that was not provided to the FISA court.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report \u201cis going to find that there were problems in the FISA application process and they dont want that to come out until after they impeach the president,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Trump last month predicted<\/a> that the report will unveil a high degree of corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cI predict you will see things that you dont even believe, the level of corruption \u2014 whether its [James] Comey; whether its [Peter] Strzok and his lover [Lisa] Page; whether its so many other people \u2014 [Andrew] McCabe; whether its President Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
