IG report on Clinton case expected to hit FBI leaders for sitting on emails in 2016
fox news ^ | 5/21/2018 | JUDSON BERGER

A highly anticipated report from the Justice Department’s internal watchdog reportedly is expected to hit FBI leaders for moving too slowly to review a batch of Hillary Clinton emails discovered toward the end of the 2016 presidential campaign.

Offering a glimpse at the contents of the closely held inspector general review, The Associated Press cited people familiar with the findings in reporting Monday that the investigation would criticize the bureau for its handling of that incident.

It’s just one piece of the comprehensive report that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz has compiled looking into the FBI and DOJ’s conduct during the Hillary Clinton email investigation. The handling of that late-campaign email discovery, though, has long been a key issue for officials on both sides of the aisle.

IG COMPLETES CLINTON CASE REVIEW

Clinton has repeatedly blasted then-FBI Director James Comey for notifying Congress that he was revisiting the email probe less than two weeks before the election, claiming that announcement hurt her campaign in the final leg. But Republicans also want to know why the FBI waited weeks to act on those emails, which were discovered on former Rep. Anthony Weiner's laptop.

Some FBI officials, like then-Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, knew as early as September 2016 of the emails, but the bureau did not obtain a warrant to review them until the following month.

If this is what’s leaking first what’s coming must be really, really bad.

They all thought she would be re-elected, and didn't want to be on her bad side when that happened.

They knew she would be completely ruthless, and that anyone who didn't help her would be immediately terminated once she came into office.

Guess we will have to wait to see.

"...comprehensive report..."

Just how "comprehensive"? Sounds like puffery.

Why not also call it Common Sensical"?

Horowitz has a reputation as a “Mistakes were Made” kinda guy.

The swift review of McCabe was refreshing though.

Horowitz can’t interview any of the real perps in the Clinton email crimes because most of them are gone.

The IG investigating these cases is the corrupt state’s way to stall and whitewash them.

“The swift review of McCabe was refreshing though.”

Trump thought Horowitz’s McCabe report was a ‘disaster’.

“Lack of Candor....He lied, lied, lied”

.
Toothless IG has been investigating for a Year and a Half - Zero Indictments.

He’s an internal auditor and Obama Appointee.

He has no reach to DOD, State, or Obama WH - zero.

This is Rosenstein trying to bury Criminal activity.

He supposedly has 500 guys on his staff, so he better come up with a hell of a lot more than sitting in e-mails.

From Sharyl Attkisson

Wonder what’s in those Benghazi emails they wouldn’t release.

March 4, 2015: New York Times breaks news about Clinton’s improper handling of classified email as secretary of state.

In internal emails, Clinton campaign chairman (and former Obama adviser) John Podesta suggests Obama withhold Clinton’s emails from Congressional Benghazi committee under executive privilege.

This is obfuscation....the issues are identifying individuals Ids gleaned by NSA illegally; spying on a campaign; destroying subpoenaed evidence; lying on court documents. These issues are not even being addressed, just some tangentent issues that will lead to NO indictments.

I am less and less Optimistic about this IG report. I now expect a heavily redacted pile of not much, which will easily be spun into straw by the complicit media.
