The Justice Department's internal watchdog has concluded that James Comey defied authority at times during his tenure as FBI director, according to sources familiar with a draft report on the matter.
One source told ABC News that the draft report explicitly used the word "insubordinate" to describe Comey's behavior. Another source agreed with that characterization but could not confirm the use of the term.
In the draft report, Inspector General Michael Horowitz also rebuked former Attorney General Loretta Lynch for her handling of the federal investigation into Hillary Clinton's personal email server, the sources said.
On Tuesday morning, President Donald Trump complained of "numerous delays" in the release of Horowitz's final report, which is expected to run several hundred pages long and be released in the coming days. The sources who spoke to ABC News were willing or able to address only a portion of the draft report's complete findings.
"What is taking so long with the Inspector General's Report on Crooked Hillary and Slippery James Comey," Trump said on Twitter. "Hope report is not being changed and made weaker!"
There is no indication the president has seen – or will see – a draft of the report before its release. Horowitz, however, could revise the draft report now that current and former officials mentioned in it have offered their responses to the inspector general's conclusions, according to the sources.

I believe the President tweeted that because he knows that's exactly what's going on.
BFD

That’s all we are going to get.

Media spin: Comey didn’t listen to orders and cost Hillary the election
Democrats are LAW-LESS because Republicans are BALL-LESS!
Sing Andrew...sing like a parrot my man!
At least it will be an independent assessment by an unbiased authority that Big Leftist Media won’t be able to portray as a Trump sycophant
... which is important, because Horowitz probably WILL be confirming a lot of the stuff Republicans have been saying for years, and Big Media simply wrote off as “right wing propaganda”
Played right, this report could be the wedge that opens the dark vault on the Obama Admin’s dirty tricks
Republicans are democrats’ twins.
Leaks, leaks, leaks...
COMPLETE GARBAGE AND SPIN.
There were no "good guys" in the Obama Regime or the Deep State. If true, this is not a good news, and a whitewash.
They are ALL guilty: Obama, Lynch, Comey, McCabe, Strzok, Powers, Holder, Clapper, Brennan, Jarrett, Rice, Podesta.....ALL of them.
There was no moral authority to be "insubordinate" to, and moreover - Obama and his criminal gang were in on the crimes and coverup.
When Trump fired Comey for being insubordinate, it triggered an obstruction of justice investigation by the Special Counsel. Now that the IG report confirms this insubordination, the Special Counsel should drop the investigation.
Horowitz, however, could revise the draft report now that current and former officials mentioned in it have offered their responses to the inspector general’s conclusions, according to the sources.
...
We’re going to need an IG to investigate the IG.
Sing Andrew...sing like a parrot my man! <<<
NO IMMUNITY!!!...BUT WE CAN PLEA BARGAIN A DEAL YOU CAN’T REFUSE....
Yep...I feel like a mushroom-kept in the dark and fed $hit.
“Trump said on Twitter. “Hope report is not being changed and made weaker!”
Which is exactly what is happening. If Trump wants Justice he will have to declare war as if he doesn’t already have a full plate
