The Justice Department inspector general has referred five FBI employees for investigation in connection with politically charged texts, revealing in its report on the Hillary Clinton email case that more bureau officials than previously thought were exchanging anti-Trump messages.
The long-awaited report largely dealt with the Justice Department and FBI's handling of the Clinton case but uncovered numerous messages that “appeared to mix political opinion with discussions about the MYE investigation."
MYE, or "Midyear Exam," was the code used in the FBI to refer to the investigation into Clinton’s private email server.
“Some of these text messages and instant messages mixed political commentary with discussions about the Midyear investigation, and raised concerns that political bias may have impacted investigative decisions,” the report read.
The report noted that it was specifically concerned about text messages exchanged between FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page that “potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions were impacted by bias or improper considerations.”

I have heard that the summary and conclusion were written by the FBI and DOJ, not the IG.
I'm glad that I read the comments, prior to posting.
It's actually more than just a description of Obama voters...it's also a description of the people who wrote that!
As all of the Trump supporters here know, the enormous viewership of all of his rallies and all of the primary and then nominee debates were basically Trump supporters. And we weren't just glued to whatever screen we watched on, we were posting here, to many different threads and far MORE aware of what was said and also better educated, than that writer, as well.
Trump's little "nobody" supporters "expected hi to give them jobs" if he won? LOL...what kind of dope was that writer doing?
Do we want more of this or less of this?
If no one goes to jail. We will get more of this.
Absolute waste of time. I’m watching Ingraham and everyone’s hair is on fire about the details of criminality and corruption in the report. Who didn’t know that. The IG can’t indict anyone even if he wanted to. Congress can’t indict anyone even if they weren’t afraid of the DOJ goons. No one can do anything but that detestable bastard Sessions. In other words NOTHING will happen about this or the FISA warrants or anything else. Swamp rat bastard Sessions is the most important and effective person in DC.
I’m already tired of Rush, Hannity and Ingraham rehashing all the crimes
that were committed. We know that already. We hear it night after night.
Over and over again.
I guess the only thing left, since criminal referrals are not going to be
forthcoming is the same trick the GOP uses in every scandal.
And that is to use scandal as a political tool to try to keep us pumped up
to run to the polls and vote for them.
No one ever pays a criminal price in any of these scandals.
Bengazi, 911 Report, Hillary emails, and not this report.
The truth is Congress critters come and go, the Deep State seems
eternal, so it seems.
As I understand it, the IG can't make criminal referrals. He refers it to the DOJ who then determines if a criminal case can be made.
As I understand it, the IG can't make criminal referrals. He refers it to the DOJ who then determines if a criminal case can be made.
An IG criminal referral is nothing more than a recommendation to the DOJ to prosecute.
The IG can make criminal referrals. They already made one for McCabe back in March.
An IG can make a criminal referral AND the DOJ still decides if that want to prosecute.
Itcertainly reads that way.
I only have 2 questions.
1. Did FBI adequately investigate crimes relating to Hilary Clinton’s use of private email for classified information stored on an unsecured server? We know the answer is “no”.
So...
2. Then where is the renewed investigation, to do it right? I still want to see Hil in prison orange.
Nobody is calling for a new investigation due to theprevious farce. They act as if this is all water under the bridge. NO! These crimes are recent and a new investigation is required, with either a grand jury with witnesses under oath or a Secial Counsel. WHERE IS THIS? We cannot just let this get swept under the carpet because a bigger scandal with the Trump coup is front and center.
There was political bias. What else is a presidential election but bias? This wasnt a beauty contest. There WAS political bias. Bigly.
