Because of sections like these in the IG report im very curious to know what will happen with the FBI and DOJ

But the IG's most substantial criticisms of Comey centered around his decision to stage a dramatic news conference in the summer of 2016, in which he announced that "no reasonable prosecutor" would bring criminal charges against Hillary Clinton, even as he acknowledged she had been "extremely careless" in her handling of classified information."

"Comey’s unilateral announcement was inconsistent with Department policy, usurped the authority of Attorney General, and did not accurately describe the legal position of the Department prosecutors," the IG report said.

What would happen? Did he break a law? Tell me he did so I can tell you he didn't.
Sort of cracks me up watching the wingers jump on this as if it's some sort of vindication. His actions didn't hurt Trump. They hurt Clinton.

@Harley4Life I'm walking out the door right now so feel free to keep going. You STILL haven't offered anything about additional investigations. That's what you said. And that was a lie. Full stop.
I'll never get guys like you. I really won't.

@Ynotisay oh my god you are an idiot. Did you even read the three of those?

"Again, the IG report noted that it was unable to connect the officials' apparent political bias to specific investigative decisions. Nevertheless, the IG referred the five FBI officials for further investigation."

@Harley4Life Here's how we'll work it. First, I misread your statement and assumed you were saying the IG would be handling additional investigations. Either way, it does't matter. No crimes were committed. But yes...it appears the FBI will be looking in to it.
But here's why I'm going to block you. People who call others "stupid" have no place in my world. Outside of the fact that I'm not, I just despise that kind of weakness. I also know it only comes from those mouths of those compensating so...again, that's weakness I don't want to be around.

Well, he did say he voted for her. Obviously his political bias, although not documented in writing, was evident.

The interesting thing about what the IG said in his report that some are attempting to ignore is this. He said there is no "documentary evidence" of political bias that impacted the email investigation. Well, of course not, who is going to document in writing that they are using their political bias to make decisions on a criminal case of a presidential candidate. He does go on to state, however, that he remains unconvinced that strzok and the trump-hating unnamed lawyer did not exercise political bias in their actions. There is no question there was political bias. We don't need it in writing to know it. There are people sitting in prison right now who were convicted on much less circumstantial evidence.

I think as far as what will happen all you need to do is look to Christopher Wray's speech, er, whitewash yesterday. He assured us that every last FBI agent would receive retraining. WHY? Every last FBI agent wasn't the problem, it was the top brass. They were the problem, not the rank and file agent. Jesus Christ! Fire the ones who haven't yet been fired and prosecute them for anything they can be prosecuted for. If his intention was to restore confidence, he failed miserably.

Wray should have said he was sending them to Starbucks for training. @katielass

@jackjjackson His "plan" was about as impressive. What will this alleged training involve, exactly. How to avoid getting caught being political?

When the real IG report is released I will take the time to read it. What was released is not the IG report. It was the Rod Rosenstein edited report.

Pretty clear the group was pro Clinton anti trump, but I doubt anything will come of it.

Harley4Life · M

I just mean in general maybe not specific charges
