The new report from the Justice Department’s watchdog covers a lot of ground. It runs more than 500 pages and evaluates investigations that touch both President Trump and Hillary Clinton. As a result, some of the initial news coverage — which has to cram all of the big findings into a few paragraphs — can be a little difficult to follow.
If you’re trying to do so, I recommend keeping your focus on the big picture. The report addresses one question that’s more important than any other: Did the Justice Department and F.B.I. use their power, as Trump has repeatedly claimed, to help Clinton’s campaign and hurt his?
In the lead-up to the report, Trump’s allies agreed that this was paramount. “The central question in my opinion,” David Bossie, Trump’s former deputy campaign manager, wrote this week on the Fox News website, “is did Hillary Clinton and her cronies get preferential treatment in her email server investigation for political reasons?”
And the report’s answer is clear: No.

The New York Times: Enemy or the Republic.
Who in the hell is David Leonhardt?
Uninformed commentary on a whitewash report. Typical.
Hillary Clinton should be in prison.
She should have been up on charges before the 2016 election.
I’d say that the fact she wasn’t was rather helpful of the FBI.
“The central question in my opinion,” David Bossie, Trump’s former deputy campaign manager, wrote this week on the Fox News website, “is did Hillary Clinton and her cronies get preferential treatment in her email server investigation for political reasons?”
And the report’s answer is clear: No.
So Comey exonerating Hillary, which he had no authority to do, was and is OK.
Scrubbing computer files under subpoena is OK.
Having the highest classified information on a non secure server, which was hacked by "a foreign entity" is OK
And the list goes on. Talk about fake news.
Should have mentioned the DOJ there as well.
IF there were ANY intellectually honest and moral decency in DC, Muller would be closing shop today.
Actually another example of a “reporter” knowingly lying by conflating a fact to say something it doesn’t
The IG said there is no documented evidence Comey acted with poltical bias. The report itself lays out a whole lot of obvious partisan bias both in the Clinton investigation AND the Muller clown show.
Yes it helped Trump because I remember Hillary being arrested and handcuffed on National TV,OH WAIT,....
The true insanity here is that the President never needed “cause” to fire Comey. The FBI Director serves at the pleasure of the President.
Sounds like “Dave” should have the brains curb-stomped out of his skull.
