Lots of smoke. We need to clear this up.

Finally?

From the text:

Quote:His inquiry is the third known investigation focused on the opening of an F.B.I. counterintelligence investigation during the 2016 presidential campaign into possible ties between Russia’s election interference and Trump associates.

The department’s inspector general, Michael E. Horowitz, is separately examining investigators’ use of wiretap applications and informants and whether any political bias against Mr. Trump influenced investigative decisions. And John W. Huber, the United States attorney in Utah, has been reviewing aspects of the Russia investigation. His findings have not been announced.

So your quibble is with the word "finally"? Not the investigation itself?

OK with me. I just want a thorough investigation into how the witch hunt happened. The IG, I believe, is limited in scope, and I have no idea why Utah is involved.

The IG is drastically limited in scope in the toolbox available for their investigation when compared to a DOJ or US Attorney investigation.

The Utah US Atty was authorized to look into Uranium One issues.

So yes, the word 'finally' looks to be appropriate, since the two other efforts are either limited procedurally and effectually (IG) or don't deal with the FISA issue.

So once again look at the inherent biased language in the paragraph cited. Cites two efforst, one of which is hamstrung procedurally and one 'has been reviewing aspects of the Russia investigation', which is, while technically true, fairly deceptive given the issue in the just announced effort (FISA) and comparing that focus to Uranium One.

To be blunt lad, the two cited investigations really are not comparable to this announced effort at all when one looks at the details.
