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.

‘Sweet Loretta’ ..... talk about Cankles!
Defied authority? Could the IG report be more Lame?
ABC cant spin it. Its too late. But I am going to be furious when we find out Mueller has given his butt buddy Comey immunity.
It’s being watered down and lawyered up.
Sad.
I HATE these fake “leaks”! This means that the REALLY bad stuff is being redacted and buried while “sort of” bad stuff is allowed to air out and dissipate in the public eye. We would need 25 years of Trump to fix the corrupt government-media Swamp.
The subjects of the investigation are allowed to offer suggestions for changes in the report.
IG: Report as written — Comey is guilty as hell.
Comey: I don’t like that, too harsh; change it to something softer. Who do you think you are, anyway? I still have files to turn over to the Times.
IG: Okay. How about a tad insubordinate.
This was leaked
People are getting pissed at the way it’s being handled
If Trump wants Justice he will have to declare war as if he doesn’t already have a full plate
**************
Just unclassify all the documents and order them to be released to the public. Trump could do that. The country needs to see it — in its entirety.
This is the worst scandal in American history. The facts simply must come out.
Mueller Comey and clan must have came from the Mexican government offices the way their getting away with things so much for American law.
Why do so many FReepers fall for this?
ABC could have been told Obama raped and murdered a young boy is in the IG report and they never would have reported it.
like the “Warren Report” and the magic bullet or for real this time? I’m tired of govt lies.
Most congressional Republicans will be happy with the whitewash. They never really wanted to see anyone held accountable. They too like the Swamp the way it is.
Sessions has recused himself from doing his job at all, seems to me.
There are only two things the government is “good” at: lying and spending.
Lol. You noticed that too.
McCabe, Strock, Comey, Clapper the rest, I want them to hang. But I would give them all a free pass and a pension to get Clinton and Obama.
It ain’t called “The Uniparty” for nothin’.
“DOJ watchdog finds James Comey defied authority as FBI director, sources say”
In other words Comey ran a rogue FBI. All the cards are in place to clean house in the FBI from top to bottom. Yes from the chief down to the lowlife that was doing a back flip and shot a party goer.
People are getting pissed at the way it’s being handled

Until such time as Trump finally acts to remove the corrupt layer of Deep Staters that infest the executive branch, NOTHING is going to change. He needs to raze these agencies and start the rebuilding process in order to restore any semblance of integrity in them.
Trump is good at building and renovating things. What better place to do it than in his own executive branch?
