The infamous IG report is out:
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...watchdog-finds
It seems:
- Comey damaged the FBI but wasn't politically biased.
Quote:
|
Former FBI Director James Comey was “insubordinate” in handling the probe into Hillary Clinton, damaging the bureau and the Justice Department’s image of impartiality even though he wasn’t motivated by politics, the department’s watchdog found.
|
- 5 FBI agents were biased, and have been referred for investigation, but that this did not affect the material investigation
Quote:
|
Horowitz said that five FBI officials expressed hostility toward Trump before his election as president and disclosed in his report to Congress on Thursday that their actions have been referred to the bureau for possible disciplinary action.
|
- Nothing suggests the decision to clear Clinton was incorrect
Quote:
|
Horowitz, whose office said it reviewed more than 1.2 million documents and interviewed more than 100 witnesses, didn’t challenge Comey’s fundamental decision against recommending prosecution of Clinton for mishandling classified information.
|
So it doesn't pave the way for another investigation into Clinton. Comey is accused of being improper but not of illegality.
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page come off the biggest losers in the report.

The report also noted that Comey used personal email at times to conduct official business.
