Draft of DOJ watchdog report says Comey defied authority: report
The Hill ^ | 06/06/18 | Brett Samuels

The Department of Justice’s inspector general has determined that former FBI Director James Comey was “insubordinate” at times during his tenure, ABC News reported Wednesday.

Sources told ABC that the inspector general’s draft report on the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of State outlines instances of Comey defying authority.

The draft report, which is subject to change, also reportedly criticized former Attorney General Loretta Lynch’s handling of the probe into Clinton’s email use.

Inspector General Michael Horowitz told lawmakers last month that a draft of the report was completed.

The final version is expected to be released in the coming days.

President Trump on Tuesday morning seemed to try and cast doubt on any findings that exonerate Comey or Clinton ahead of the report’s release.

"What is taking so long with the Inspector General’s Report on Crooked Hillary and Slippery James Comey." the president tweeted. "Numerous delays. Hope Report is not being changed and made weaker! There are so many horrible things to tell, the public has the right to know. Transparency!"

Trump fired Comey in May 2017, and has frequently criticized the ex-FBI director in the time since, saying he left the bureau’s reputation “in tatters."

I keep telling people to temper their expectation of the IG report.

All we have so far is rumors and speculation it's going to be a BOMBSHELL.

Even if it is what's next?

People have to act on the charges. Will they?

Always remember Comey listing Hillarys' crimes and then saying, 'I don't see any intent. I don't recommend prosecution'.

I can predict the IG report:

1. Comey should not have been insubordinate to Lynch and usurped the role of the AG in declaring that Hillary is not a crook - very unfair to Hillary!

2. Comey should not have made extensive comments about Hillary’s wrongdoing if she committed no crime - very unfair to Hillary!

3. McCabe should not have sat on Weiner’s Hillary emails for a month - they could have cleared her a month earlier - very unfair to Hillary!

4. Comey should not have announced on the eve of the election that he had Weiner’s Hillary emails - very unfair to Hillary!

5. Did Lynch and Comey ‘fix’ the investigation by corruptly letting Hillary off the hook? IG: We can’t tell you that, because we are not going to second guess prosecutorial and investigatorial decisions by the FBI and DOJ!

I believe many people are investing a great deal of hope on rumors and speculation from anonymous sources.

It's like no one ever heard the phrase, 'don't count your chickens before they hatch'.

The “IG Report” will be a joke.
