Most Media Will Miss This: ..."The IG report that outlines Atkinson's gross incompetence in the FISA scandal, vis-a-vis the 42 DOJ-NSD Accuracy Reviews, is the atomic shield against the political narrative".... https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/04/03/president-trump-removes-coup-plotter-icig-michael-atkinson-effective-30-days-from-today-dc-media-conscripts-go-bananas/
In the recent FISA review the DOJ inspector general specifically identified issues with the “accuracy reviews” conducted by DOJ-NSD chief legal counsel.
Who was that former DOJ-NSD chief legal counsel?
That would be current ICIG Michael Atkinson…

The DOJ National Security Division (DOJ-NSD) chief counsel, and the chief counsel for every FBI field office are required to conduct an “Accuracy Review” of selected FISA applications.
One accuracy review per FBI field office (25 to 30 field offices), which are sent to DOJ-NSD (main justice) for DOJ-NSD general counsel inspection.
Prior to becoming IC Inspector General, Michael Atkinson was the Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General and Senior Counsel to the Assistant Attorney General of the National Security Division, Mary McCord. https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/president-donald-j-trump-announces-intent-nominate-personnel-key-administration-posts-9/
Michael Horowitz inspected 42 of the accuracy review FISA files from 2014 to 2019; those reviews covered the term when Michael Atkinson's was chief legal counsel the DOJ-NSD.

When the OIG inspected 42 of these Accuracy Reviews, the IG identified that only three of them had accurately assembled documents (Woods File) supporting the application. The error rate within the files self-checked was over 93%.
That, current IG memorandum, evaluating the prior performance of Atkinson as legal counsel for the DOJ-NSD, now provides evidence to support President Trump saying he no longer has confidence in ICIG Michael Atkinson.
But this is where it gets good....
Really good.
Really good.
In their immediacy to quickly push anti-Trump narratives, almost all political media will not see that connection to Atkinson.
They won't see it, because they have not accurately reported on the conclusions from Horowitz's recent memorandum.
They won't see it, because they have not accurately reported on the conclusions from Horowitz's recent memorandum.
The severity of pearl-clutching and teeth gnashing; together with the scale of their apoplexy and blind rage in reaction to Atkinson's firing; is directly proportionate to their level of participation in the effort to remove President Trump.
The collective guilt-driven apoplexy from the deepest part of the administrative state is the one constant in an ever-changing universe.
Prepare for the egg-on-face obfuscations when that FISA memorandum connection is made….
Though it might take a while before that narrative destroying reality bomb is deployed. There is no hurry for President Trump to use it over the weekend.

It would be much more strategic for President Trump to let all the political opposition,... all of them,.... go absolutely bananas in every medium attacking him for firing Atkinson.
While he doesn't point out Horowitz's blistering report of Atkinson as DOJ-NSD lead FISA lawyer.

The blame-casting will be engineered around a premise that POTUS Trump fired Atkinson for retaliation in his role in the impeachment nonsense.
They will completely miss the OIG report that outlines Atkinson's gross incompetence as the internal FISA compliance auditor.

This should be fun to watch....
You..... You..... tricky types....
