"There's a lot of people with first-hand knowledge we haven't heard from, correct?"

Here is the original comment, now deleted:
This is more disinformation. The fact remains this was a corrupt investigation by the FBI and DOJ that used Russian propaganda as a source of information to open this investigation. It strains credulity to say there was no political bias. We've all seen the text messages between lead FBI investigators that were ultimately removed after those texts came to light.
Response:
Horowitz specifically wrote that Peter Strzok and Lisa Page did not affect the start of the investigation and didn’t act out of political bias.
Horowitz on Lisa Page:
“While Lisa Page attended some of the discussions regarding the opening of the investigations, she did not play a role in the decision to open Crossfire Hurricane or the four individual cases."

Horowitz on Peter Strzok:
“We further found that while Strzok was directly involved in the decisions to open Crossfire Hurricane and the four individual cases, he was not the sole, or even the highest-level, decision maker as to any of those matters.”
The decision to open the investigation was made by Bill Priestap, who was Strzok’s supervisor, after he spoke with the FBI Director, general counsel and other top agency leaders.

Horowitz on Bill Priestap:
“We concluded that Priestap's exercise of discretion in opening the investigation was in compliance with Department and FBI policies, and we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced his decision.”
In addition, Steele was considered a family friend of the Trumps and had a 2010 Trump Tower meeting with Ivanka in which she propositioned that he join the Trump Foundation.

I mean, the report could have come out and said everything, and I mean everything was 100% legit or 100% corrupt and both would still try to spin it. There's enough meat on that bone for both parties to sell it exactly the way they want and their followers will gobble it up.

Do we get their names, full-list of texts, and a political show?

And what would it tell anyone if there were countless investigations into the origin of the Clinton investigation? We’d learn the email investigation was correctly predicates? But we’d also learn the investigation based off of the Clinton cash book was politically motivated. Then what?

Setting aside the obvious double entendre, this tweet is a terrible analogy filled with the usual social justice buzzwords
