The whole report is out already. Here is a link to it:
Hannity mentioned this report will be about 65 pages.
It's 83 pages.
“We conclude that Comey’s retention, handling, and dissemination of certain Memos violated Department and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement,” the Justice Department inspector general report states, noting that “much of the content of the Memos was directly tied to FBI investigative activities.”while the legacy rubble media will concentrate on main conclusions - conclusions we are told will be damning for Comey -
No, the MSM will spin. By the end of the day they will have 1/2 of America believing the Comey was completely exhonorated. As others have already noted: Comey is out there claiming complete vindication because he wasn't charged with a crime.
Which (not to beat a dead horse) is why at the end of the day ONLY INDICTMENTS matter. Only indictments can not be laughed off, spun into meaningless sugar, or ignored all together.
Watergate resulted in 69 indictments of various people. 48 of those were eventually found guilty. All of us saying this is "bigger than Watergate" sound like hysterics at this point because no one has been indicted & no one has been convicted of anything.
It appears at this point that anyone who put their faith in the OIG / Durham using Comey's obviously horrible behavior in the "leaked memos affair" to start the train rolling on those much needed indictments of Deep State Coup plotters has been disappointed. Again.
We won’t know until the report comes out, but it raises an interesting parallel with McCabe, because it appears as though he WILL be indicted
It doesn't appear that way to me. It appears they are still pushing the peas around on their plate. It's good that they haven't totally binned the whole thing, but I'm not getting my hopes up for a McCabe prosecution. Why so hard? Mueller was able to indict Flynn on "lying to the FBI" in a few weeks. They already have all the evidence - it was in the OIG report. So all this time that has elapsed since the report was issued - what has it been needed for?
Obviously to let things cool down, and because this is a poltical hot-potato and no one in the Deep State really wants to charge McCabe. (I hope I'm wrong about that, but the pattern keeps repeating. It's hard not to notice it.
Dave is working with the folks at Conservative Treehouse, another outlet that I diverge with but does put out some good work.
How do you diverge from CT? Even Sundance has gone from "arrests are coming soon" to "they might all get away with it" over the last six months, so perhaps your sunny disposition and optimism over the eventual outcome are more positive than Sundance's - but his reporting is really excellent and I can't think of any facts he's gotten wrong. And even many of the theories he builds around them seem well founded and often prove, with hindsight, to have been correct.
I know you didn't write this line to me, but I'll address it anyway:
please try not to sink into the “Nothing is ever going to happen” concern posting. If nothing was ever going to happen there wouldn’t be an OIG investigation, or all of the firings and retirements we have seen. The road to justice is a long one. We are taking our very first steps.
That's not good enough. OIG reports and firings (the vast majority of which are described by both sides as "retirements" or "leaving to pursue other opportunities") are good things on their own, but they don't account for much milage on the "road to justice". They are still the equivilent of checking air pressure in the tires at the starting line.
Justice is about making criminals pay. If no one is every charged then you can't really have any justice, or it's very incomplete. That's why even though we won the war in Europe we still went ahead and held trials for the Nazis. Merely summarily executing them would have been less, and not met the requirments of justice. Merely saying "OK, you are no longer a General in the Wermacht and your pension is revoked" - that isn't even close to justice.
I know we're not supposed to use Nazi analogies (Godwin's Rule) but the attempt to overthrow the elected President using covert operations isn't that different from a planned assassination. It results in the same end-point, the illegal removal of the legitimate elected leader. So, I consider it a very very serious crime.
I will never be satisfied with people being forced into retirement as some sort of justice or punishment for that. (While of course being happy that bad people are no longer in positions of trust in our government).
Hang in there.
There is nothing else to do but Hang In There, I agree and I will.
Cheers!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Your fond hope. 1/2 America does not trust or believe the MSM and of course you know that. You just hope they do.
You are transparent.
Why not call a nazi a nazi???
Godwin's Rule was an Alinsky tactic to keep Americans from seeing the nazi-like behavior coming from the dems and left. It was a tactic to hide who the dems and left really is. You out yourself a little bit at a time there, JB.
