The IG's finding is that no action was taken against Trump.
Wrong in all respects.

A "citizen" can't stop someone from being elected. Strzok was in a position where he thought he could, and he said he would.

Moreover, the OIG report had nothing to do with the Russia investigation and therefore says nothing about any actions taken against Trump. It does, however, state that the statements of Page and Strzok indicated bias and implied a "willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate’s electoral prospects."

The Republicans and their never ending investigations. It's always a bombshell! Going to blow the top off! People are going to prison!

They never seem to come up with anything. It always just sort of dwindles away.

What will this come up with? That Stozik thought Trump was a con man? Huge surprise there.

That's the point. The Australian ambassador did not "inform" them. He said he heard something from someone who heard it from someone else. That's not informing the FBI of meddling; that's informing them of the existence of a rumor.

Not to mention that "meddling" isn't even a crime that the FBI can investigate.

Republicans have been launching investigations for decades.

In the last 50 some years, Republicans have convicted exactly 1 person from a Democratic administration. The Chief of Staff for the Secretary of Agriculture was once convicted of failing to report a small consulting sum from a former consulting company.

89 convictions in Republican administrations. 89.

That doesn't include Nixon who was pardoned of all a crimes before the indictment stage.

Nor does it include all those who would have been indicted and convicted if Bush 1 hadn't pardoned those Iran/Contra criminals.

Republicans are forever pointing the finger at others but are by far the most criminally corrupt political party.

89:1

To date.

Conspiracy is the term you are looking for. Conspiracy with a hostile foreign government to interfere in U.S. elections.

We've been over this numerous times, but for those just coming out of a coma,

Eye opening piece by a former national security analyst.

"The counterintelligence investigation of Donald Trump was kicked off by not one, not two, but multiple SIGINT reports which set off alarm bells inside our Intelligence Community."

For example, "Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ – Britain’s NSA), which “first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious ‘interactions’ between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents, passed this information on to the U.S. "as part of a routine exchange of information.”

Well worth reading and understanding.

Nope. He had no ability to prevent the election of anyone. He is an FBI agent not a dictator. As Page pointed out they are Americans and have a right to have opinions.

Not only did he not have the ability to prevent anyone's election, as far as I can tell the only campaign that was undermined by the FBI was Clinton's.

Mum's the word about the investigation into Trump's Russian connections but they wouldn't shut up about Clinton's emails.

Giuliani is now going around bragging about how "good" FBI agents were leaking information on the investigation to him.

What the hell?

Why don't you read a bit more carefully?

*Strzok* said he could stop Trump.

Did he do anything to stop Trump?

Did he leak information on the Russian investigation like the FBI agents leaked info on Clinton's investigation to Giuliani?

Did he coordinate with Wikileaks to release Russian hacked emails to smear Clinton?

Good grief. Pull up your big boy panties. This is serious stuff.

That article you cited is a joke. Did even you read it? references this: "all the evidence must remain super secret" - sure it does - and we have a bridge to sell you. gullible guppies of the left unite.
