1. Those of you thinking that this public, written IG Report raises more questions than it answers, are EXACTLY on the money.
That’s the entire point of it. Some observations.
2. You’ll notice that I used the word ‘public’.
That’s because this ISN’T the complete, unredacted report.
This investigation & report occurs during multiple, ongoing DOJ investigations and GJ/ criminal hearings. Not to mention a highly polarized & politicized environment.
3. IMO this ‘public’ report likely excludes evidence, that’s currently needed by DOJ in criminal cases.
It only includes what has been permitted to be made public.
POTUS, as well as other select individuals, have the OTHER, unredacted, unclassified report.
4. I also used the word ‘written’.
That’s because the OIG Report has a written component (today’s report) and an oral component (Horowitz testimony on 18th).
For me, this isn’t the end of the report and much will be clarified on the 18th.
House Judiciary and Oversight Committees to Hold Hearing on IG Report Examining DOJ and FBI Actions in 2016 - United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform
Washington, DC – On Tuesday, June 19, 2018 at 10:00 a.m., the House Committees on the Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform will hold a joint hearing on “Oversight of the FBI and DOJ Actions …

5. Another thing. Unlike most IG Reports, this isn’t a stand alone, isolated report.
Apart from criminal investigations ongoing, this is the 2nd of 3/4 OIG Reports to land, emanating from the original scope of Jan 12, 2017.
The Inspector General’s Encompassing Investigation
Devin Nunes was on with Maria Bartiromo on March 25, 2018. Nunes is refreshingly candid which makes his interviews worthwhile. While much was covered, there was one short comment by Nunes that specif…

6. Keep in mind something else.
The report has been designed to protect those who have flipped. The same people appear in each report, in relation to different events.
An example - Priestap seems almost marginal to events, when we know in fact that he was probably central.
7. Also, stay focussed on the SCOPE of this report.
The report is NOT about whether Clinton broke the law with her server (she did), but about the FBI exoneration of her.
The two are different. Although it was nice to see Crooked get a mention (tweet 10, below).
8. Last, note the FUNCTION of the OIG.
Most have seen the exec summary & recommendations, differ from the body.
Liberals, being ignorant, see the recommendations as the end of the matter.
They don’t understand what the OIG does, let alone the context, explained above.
9. Put simply, OIG does investigation, DOJ does criminal probes & law enforcement.
The OIG could say that Comey was a martian, who should be criminally referred for jaywalking. Or it can make zero criminal referrals.
It matters little.
10. The DOJ isn’t bound by the OIG. It calls the shots on indictments & investigations.
What matters most to the DOJ? FACTS. Period.
And in this report alone, they are DAMNING.
Take just TEN (of many more):
11. #1 - FBI Director Comey was insubordinate & incompetent.
That’s huge. Why?
Trump’s decision to fire him is now fully vindicated. Any potential ‘muh obstruction of justice charge’ is now null & void.
12. Also, Comey’s credibility as a witness has been shredded. A prosecutor could try and use him, of course. But a good defense attorney would tear him apart.
Remember, there’s a mountain of incriminating evidence against him, outside this report.
13. #2 - New Strzok & Page comms give more credibility to the existence of a scheme to remove Trump. For example, ‘brushing up’ on Watergate, 5 days AFTER the election:
Er, OK. FBI agents talk like that all the time, right?
14. #3 - Peter Strzok & Lisa Page show clear animus, bias and intent to ‘get Trump’ BEFORE he was elected.
OIG: (pp 420/1): ‘not only indicative of a biased state of mind but, even more seriously, implies a willingness to/..
15. /...take official action to impact the presidential candidate’s electoral prospects’
That’s a mind-boggling finding, right there.
They weren’t acting alone, either.
16. #4 - Page & Strzok appear to have deliberately by-passed official channels in their effort to exonerate Clinton, (working with DOJ attorneys and McCabe/Kadzic).
17. #5 - Also, 13 anonymous Obama officials were communicating via private email (footnote, p89).
NOTE: Obama (POTUS) & Clinton (a private citizen, when candidate) appear to have been emailing with each other, DURING THE ELECTION.
WTF? That is massive, in and of itself.
18. Oh, just another small thing.
#6 - Foreign actors appear to have compromized Clinton’s email account.
IMO they could have just put that in and it would have been a bombshell, in itself.
19. #7 - The FBI was leaking like a sieve to reporters.
The annexed tables show a disturbing network of corruption between FBI agents and reporters.
This will require further investigation and is a likely h/t to the many ongoing leak investigations.
20. #8 - Senior FBI officials who were recused from/ not involved in MYE (eg McCabe/Kadzic) were trying to influence/involve themselves into the investigation.
That would be ‘Andy’ McCabe, currently under criminal referral.
21. #9- The FBI appears to have been concealing incriminating texts (and other evidence about MYE) from Congress, then lying about why they did so.
22. AND #10 - Comey & Co sat on the evidence in the Weiner laptop, for as long as they could, knowing the connection between Abedin and HRC.
Until they said it was a nothingburger, just days before the election. A decision that remains unexplained.
23. There are MANY other damaging facts in the report. I chose just 10.
But back to context.
The OIG doesn’t have the same power as a Special Counsel, or AAG like Huber. It also admits (page 5) that it was unable to consider the full span of events exhaustively.
24. And that’s the point. This report is NOT designed to nail people to the wall.
The objective is to raise questions and to PROMPT further investigation.
Just the ten facts I raised are damning. They DEMAND FURTHER INVESTIGATION.
25. Which I predict will now happen. By the the DOJ, or a body set up under DOJ oversight. With criminal jurisdiction & law enforcement powers. NOTE:
Starting to see what comes next? It’s a process, folks, part of a bigger picture.
26. People who want Horowitz to be like some ‘fire and brimstone’ preacher, delivering justice, are missing the point.
He doesn’t have the power. Nor is it his style.
But it’s also GOOD that he’s fact-finding and ‘dull’. Why?
27. Horowitz has OTHER reports coming. Arguably FAR more explosive than this one, as well.
He needs to maintain total impartiality and independence.
America’s deranged TDS libs will demand his removal at the drop of a hat, if they sniff any supposed partisanship.
28. Last thing - notice that amid all the noise, one person has been TOTALLY silent?
POTUS Donald J Trump.
29. And that’s ALWAYS ominous.
After all, sometimes silence can be the most deafening sound of all.
#MAGA
The end.
Loud applause.
Just like Starbucks, the FBI will be going through some anti-bias training. Based on the DoJ-IG report I am confused. Will the anti-bias training be for the bias that doesn’t exist, didn't happen, or wasn’t found? Do they mean THAT bias? Is there any doubt that Emailgate and Russiagate carried two standards of justice, and bias was on full display in both botched investigations?
Count,
I am late to the session, but I am reading and processing the information as quickly as I can to catch up with ya’ll.
Thank you for your post # 1,247 on 6/15/2018 where you linked https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1007450316759896064.html
The part that drew my attention is the list of a mere TEN of the DAMNING FACTS contained in the IG report.
I called all the phone numbers for my U.S. Senators and Congressman last Monday with my list of 5 concerns related to this swirling swamp scum. Based on your link, I will be revising my points for this up-coming week’s phone calls.
An aside: Necessarily, I called back to one D.C. office (demonrat) to “grandmotherly” chastise the young man for disconnecting the call. After reminding him that we had just spoken, I said something to the effect, “Young man, the polite way to end a conversation is to say, ‘Thank you for calling,’ or ‘The senator appreciates your input,’ or a simple, ‘Bye now.’” I must admit, I relished the opportunity!
