DOJ watchdog finds James Comey defied authority as FBI director, sources say

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.

[ Obama was born and bred, and rose to power, in the Political Sewers of Chicago.He's never met an honest person in his entire life,. ]

AND

He's never BEEN an honest person in his entire life. Or so it seems.

Besides the Birth certificate and multiple passports issues, I’d like to get to the bottom of the SS# issue.

[SaveFerris]

It’s amazing he found so many to be so criminal.

The Mafia has nothing on the Obama Regime. They were just amateurs.

[SaveFerris]

I’ll bet he’s forgotten more lies than he can remember.

Whatever they’re hiding with him, it must be rather significant.

And then so many willing to commit crimes to protect him and implement his agendas.

Never would have believed this could happen in America.

And here we are watching it happen.

Hussein is a long, strange trip.

The truth would be cathartic.

Ryan is worth $12 MILLION DOLLARS???? OMG!! DIRTY!

Refresh my memory on how the FEDS got Weiners Lap Top....they didn’t RAID his apartment....iirc.

I have cautioned many times about the unrealistic expectations stemming from the IG report. It must always be remembered that the IG is an internal office within DOJ staffed by career employees. It is inherent in any investigation that the institution will be protected, consciously or unconsciously.

Did you bother to read the article ? The AG report is several hundred pages; the piece on Comey is all that has been leaked so far. Why not hold onto your britches?

I doubt there’s a more negative lot on Earth than FReepers.

I doubt there’s a more negative lot on Earth than FReepers.

You say that as if that were a bad thing.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I'm not sure John Brennan knows how much he's p*ssing off Trump with his very public anti-Trump statements.

Sure, Comey is going down, but the big pelt is Brennan. He's at the very center of this deep state coup.

I believe our President has a special place in hell reserved for Brennan. If there's vindictive spite, Brennan is going to be hit with a blivet.

defied authority at times ?

He’s a rebel....A rebel without a cause.... I tell ya.......staring James COMEY

Refresh my memory on how the FEDS got Weiners Lap Top....they didn’t RAID his apartment....iirc.

The NYPD got a warrant.

http://www.magapill.com/o/huma-abedin-blackmail-files-on-weiners-laptop.html

The NYPD was the first to examine the contents of Anthony Weiner's laptop after they obtained the contents through a warrant granted while investigating his underage sexting scandal.

It was confirmed to us by multiple sources that the NYPD found much more than just the previously undisclosed classified emails that reopened the Hillary Clinton investigation. Huma Abedin kept a folder on Anthony Weiner's laptop that contained a treasure trove of blackmail files to use against Bill and Hillary Clinton in the event they ever came after her.

True Pundit first reported on November 2nd, 2016 that: NYPD sources said these new emails include evidence linking Clinton herself and associates to:

•Money laundering
•Child exploitation
•Sex crimes with minors (children)
•Perjury
•Pay to play through Clinton Foundation
•Obstruction of justice
•Other felony crimes

But pay not attention to that Ann......Comey was "insubordinate".....ya know.

[SkyPilot]

I doubt there’s a more negative lot on Earth than FReepers.

We've been kicked in the teeth too many times by "conservatives" who are supposed to be on our side.

But I see your point - hopefully Horowitz has some dynamite.

He better......

The Mafia has nothing on the Obama Regime. They were just amateurs.

True.

And given that we now know how horribly corrupt the FBI has become, when the Sopranos are on TV, I now cheer for the mafia. At least they are honest about what they are.

Note that the President of the United States, the BOSS of the whole FBI/DOJ cannot see the report yet, but the f’ing complicit media has it. Yeah, this is going to be a real objective piece of work.

[EDINVA]

I did’t say the negativity wasn’t earned .. but, oh, how it gets tiring when it’s so endless.

Fingers x’d that Horowitz has a real serious, killer report ... it’s amazing that only in the last days has even one word, or hint, even whisper become public .. and that’s only because those named in the report have the opportunity to review it ... so you know that’s where the leak came from. To me, it’s amusing - and revealing - that McCabe is asking for immunity.

Trump is a genius, I swear. This stuff has been going on for decades but no one had the never to pull back the Wizard’s curtain.

[frank ballenger]

Yawn. Wake me when someone gets indicted.

---

I agree.

We’re all going to get as much sleep as Rip Van Sessions by that standard, but I’ve been burned by imminent justice breaking out in the USA at any moment.
As: Bill and Hillary about to be indicted in the 1990s.
There is no “justice” in the USA system.

Only vigilantes get justice. I’m holding myself back from that.
