HEADLINE: Inspector general: Start of FBI Russia probe was justified and unbiased...
HEADLINE: Donald Trump's grand Russia conspiracy just fell apart... President Donald Trump spent the better part of the last several years insisting that the so-called "deep state" had engaged in a long-running, coordinated effort to keep him from winning and then undermining him once he was in office -- all under the guise of an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. On Monday, a report from the Office of the Inspector General at the Justice Department made clear that is not at all what happened.

The Justice Department's inspector general found that the FBI properly opened its investigation into Russian election interference but said there were major errors in how the agency conducted the probe.
The report released Monday by inspector general Michael Horowitz did not find "documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced the decisions" to open investigations that initially focused on campaign advisers Carter Page, George Papadopoulos, Michael Flynn and former campaign chairman Paul Manafort.
While rebutting President Donald Trump's claims that the FBI illegally spied on his campaign, Horowitz's 435-page report criticized the FBI leaders and employees for how they handled four applications for surveillance under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act targeting Page.
