However, one detail contained in the closing document but omitted in the IG report concerning the predication jolts attention to the absence of a proper predicate.
In addition to noting that Flynn served on the Trump campaign, the closing memorandum provided as a rationale for opening an investigation into Flynn his "active TS/SCI clearance." This fact not only does not justify investigating Flynn, it cuts against the entire idea that Flynn may have been involved in activity on behalf of the Russian Federation.
Mere months before the FBI launched Crossfire Razor, the Obama administration's Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), in April of 2016, renewed Flynn's "top secret/sensitive compartmented information" clearance. "That approval is significant," wrote Eli Lake in the Chicago Tribune. "The process for renewing a security clearance at that level is intense. It includes interviews with associates and friends and an extensive background check. Flynn took a polygraph test as part of his reapplication for the security clearance."
The timing of that April 2016 renewal is also significant because the FBI claimed two additional facts justified its launch of Crossfire Razor, but those facts pre-dated Flynn's TS/SCI clearance. Specifically, the closing document noted Flynn had ties to various state-affiliated entities of the Russian Federation, presumably Russia Today, for whom Flynn gave a speech in Moscow in December 2015 the basis of the final supposedly suspicious point.

Those facts were known before Flynn's TS/SCI clearance renewal. Additionally, before Flynn traveled to Russia in 2015 to speak at the dinner, he was briefed by the DIA. Flynn's attorney Sidney Powell told me that Flynn also briefed the DIA upon his return, and shared with the intelligence agency a thumb drive of information he had collected during his Russia trip.

Under these circumstances, it is beyond ridiculous that the FBI relied on Flynn's 2015 trip to Russia as providing a "factual basis" for suspecting that he was "involved in activity on behalf of the Russian Federation which may constitute a federal crime or threat to the national security." Given that those events occurred after Flynn's TS/SCI clearance renewal, the FBI could have no "reasonable" basis to launch an investigation into him.

While the IG report concluded otherwise, Horowitz's team inexplicably omitted any mention of the FBI's reliance on Flynn's TS/SCI clearance renewal. Might that have been because Horowitz realized the predicate provided for the launch of Crossfire Razor crumbled when Flynn's top-secret-plus clearance was factored into the mix?

Who was the ditz (unmade bed?) that said Powell had only gotten Flynn closer to jail?

So no harm, no foul? They bankrupt him, threaten his family, drag him through the mud for years and then?
