National Review columnist John Fund told Newsmax TV on Friday that the nation's intelligence agencies will experience "profound embarrassment" should the Justice Department's inspector general releases its report next week on the Hillary Clinton email probe.
"There will be profound embarrassment that our intelligence agencies were misused the way they were," Fund told "Newsmax Now" host John Bachman.

The inspector general, Michael Horowitz, was first appointed in 2012 by President Barack Obama.
"I think we’re going to learn an awful lot more," Fund said. "He's been charged with investigating the Clinton email controversy and how that was handled.
"We're going to learn a lot about how the Justice Department operated, how it leaked, how it withheld information — the whole internal culture."
Fund added that President Donald Trump most likely has not pressured Attorney General Jeff Sessions to release more documents about the Clinton probe in lieu of the inspector's report.
"One of the reasons why Trump hasn't put more pressure on Jeff Sessions to release more documents is because of this inspector general's report, which is by a Democratic IG with impeccable credentials, to perhaps pounce and say, 'Now, I can tell the whole story.'"
