See what happens when you have GOP members in leadership. They loose the ability to use principles. They need to go right to the microphone.

The fix was in for Hillary by the Obama regime, and this is not anywhere close to over with yet.

FBI Employee: “boom…how did the [witness] go”

Agent 1: “Awesome. Lied his ass off. Went from never inside the scif [sensitive compartmented information facility] at res, to looked in when it was being constructed, to remove the trash twice, to troubleshot the secure fax with HRC a couple times, to everytime there was a secure fax i did it with HRC. Ridic,”


FBI Employee: “would be funny if he was the only guy charged n this deal”

Agent 1: “I know. For 1001. Even if he said the truth and didnt have a clearance when handling the secure fax — aint noone gonna do s--t”"

Not bias. Wanted HRC cleared but her personal IT guy "lied his ass off." Flynn, agents said didn't lie, but he was a Trump guy and anti-Obama so his life gets ruined because Mueller wants to squeeze him to get to Trump.

This is our government. They can all rot in hell.
Interesting article -- texts & interview by OIG lifted right from the report. Names of FBI agents redacted of course. This shows clearly that the preamble and the conclusion in the OIG reports ignored much of the body of the 500+ pages. Few will actually slog through the entire report - most will just concentrate on the White Wash Paint slapped on the preamble/conclusion in an attempt to "save" the reputation of the FBI and DOJ. They don't appear to understand that the only way to do that is to actually follow the LAW and punish those who don't follow the LAW.

Wouldn't that be a kicker.
There is certainly at least another report - possibly more than one.

There is the original report with all names included and all classified information included.
There is the report after those included and their lawyers got to respond & attempt to defend their actions.
There is the report that was finally released to the public with the nice White Wash applied.

Director Wray said in his presser yesterday that he had already referred people in the FBI to the Office of Personnel Responsibility (this is the Internal Affairs office at the FBI) - it was the OPR that recommended firing McCabe and charging him criminally. Those who Wray have referred to OPR would have been in the original unredacted report.

Let's face it, the FBI is BROKEN. It hasn't been this corrupt and mismanaged since J Edgar Hoover ran it like his own personal murder incorporated.
Comey made some mistakes but in order to fire an FBI director you should have very credible specific reasons. You loved Comey when he took over for Lynch, Mueller had bipartisan support as did Rosenstein and Wray. But when people didn’t get the outcome they wanted they all needed to be removed. People even want Sessions removed as if his replacement would fire Mueller.

Eh, I want Sessions removed because he is an authoritarian, egotistical jerk. You want him to stay where he is at?

Dear Bob Mueller,

President Trump will agree to be interviewed under the following conditions (a.k.a. “The New Hillary Standard”):

He must be allowed to physically destroy all electronic devices and/or hard drives associated with his campaign (or campaign staff) with hammers and “bleach bit” prior to any interview (even if currently under federal subpoena).

He must be interviewed by a life long, career Republican FBI agent with a long history of voicing anti Democrat rhetoric.

He must be interviewed only on a Friday after 5pm immediately preceding a 3-day holiday weekend.

His entire Staff must be granted full immunity and present during any and all questioning.

Mr. Trump cannot be sworn in or offer any statements under oath during questioning.

Interview cannot be officially recorded or transcribed in any way, shape, or form by the FBI.

You must personally author an exoneration Letter for Mr. Trump at least 2 weeks prior to any questioning.
So, it's apparent to me there are good points and bad points to be drawn from the IG Report from both sides.

Lefties can say, Ha! Nothing burger! Weak report, 18 months of nothing! Snore! Agreeable in some ways.

Then they harp on this little annoyance... BUT it's obvious Trump was helped by Comey and the FBI's actions and the Hillary Clinton Campaign was destroyed.

Also... Somewhat credible... in some ways.

So which is it, Snowflakies?

RUSSIA Russia Russia, Stormy Putin Waa! Not My Pwesident! Waa!?

Or, is it the FBI and Comey's fault?

Pick one.

Think carefully now...

You seem to fail to recognize the possibility that this was put on Hillary, that maybe she was put into this position of power.

Hillary Clinton's email: Did she follow all the rules? | PolitiFact

Anyone in her position and in government as long as she was would have been informed of this many times.
Not really. Government policies have been notoriously behind the times when it comes to communication technology.
