Ah, yes, the old "mistakes were made" phraseology.
And the IG will recommend “increased employee training” to make sure “these unfortunate, but unintentional, lapses are not repeated.”
Youay have hit the nail on the head !
Literally, Comey’s past investigation and effort included a game of redefining legal terminology, so the FBI could let HRC get away scott free, even though she was and is a true criminal liar, and thug, who flagrantly violated numerous higher level criminal federal laws!
Essentially the FBI went out of it’s way, and broke it’s own everything, just to say Team Clinton was “negligent” and without “intent”!
If the NYT story is accurate, the Horowitz report is really saying the same thing, “mistakes were made” = “negligence”, which is the deflection ploy used by Comey regarding Clinton lawlessness! There might be a fall guy or two, but the real players, like HRC, Obama, Brennan, Clapper, Comey, Rosy etc etc... get cover from the IG!
If this eight thousandth leak (leaks themselves are often violations), is legitimate, then it is simply a repeat of the exact same anti-American weaponize PLOY BOOK the FBI has been using all along!
If this Horowitz report is as bad as the last, it is itself designed to disued further Legislative investigation.
This strategy has worked before as well, serving to provide cover for media talking heads and certain Senators with their constituents.
