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.

@Ynotisay no he didn't break the law, just did a piss poor job. I don't know if you have read any of it but there are five individuals involved that the IG recommended for further investigation. There was also the fact that a "potential witness"(i think that was the phrasing) sat in on one of Clinton's interview. Im thinking more policy wise overall.

@Harley4Life And who are those five people IG Horowitz [i]recommended for further investigation?[/i] The language from the report stating that would be appreciated too.

@Ynotisay This is all sounding just like the Nunes memo that all of the trumpettes were screaming was going to show wrongdoing by the FBI and the DOJ. It didn't. Neither has the IG report.

Comey screwed up. And? We knew that in 2016.

@room101 It's not enough to ignore the truth. They change the truth. That's what I don't get it. Sure wish he would have provided me with text talking about more investigations. But given the fact that it doesn't exist it was probably hard to find.

Harley4Life · M

@Ynotisay the names are not in the report. They are referred to as agent 1, agent 2 etc.

Ynotisay · M

@Harley4Life You said five people were under additional investigation by the IG. Now it's two and they're unnamed. The fact is the report is final, isn't it? There was no mention of additional investigations and no laws were broken. It's ok to misspeak. We all do it. But hanging on to it when it's wrong? Come on man. You don't want to be that guy.

Harley4Life · M

@Ynotisay which news link would like for the summary of the report that mentions the other possible investigations? Fox, CNN, MSNBC, ABC? All the different outlets have summaries of this.

Harley4Life · M

@Ynotisay jesus you are dense do you not get what etc means when giving a list?

Harley4Life · M

@Ynotisay read this one. The section I was referencing is under number 2. I will find the other articles just for you.

@Ynotisay want me to keep going?

Ynotisay · M

@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.

Harley4Life · M

@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."

Ynotisay · M

@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.
