If this leak is the worst they got on Comey, he won’t be indicted either.
There may be a whitewash developing.
ABC News is trying to limit the damage by leaking this information in an explanatory context that appears deeply sympathetic to the Deep State, Clinton, Obama, Comey, and every other criminal involved in this mess.
people thinking this will be a damning report are going to be in for a surprise.
It will say there were mistakes but overall the system worked
If this is it, the IG report is a nothingburger.
There’s a pretty significant “competition” out there for who “gets” to be the fall guy and shield for the Obama Admin types. McCabe’s making his first move to make it Comey...the hotter it is, the more likely Comey will have to take the fall to keep it from going higher. Strzok already knows he’s screwed, he’s way to much a soldier (pawn) to survive the fallout.
I’d be happy in the end, if we can just get to the point of completely cleaning out DOJ, CIA, FBI later on in the Trump presidency. We’re probably not going to get a Big Political Player in Leavenworth, we may have to be satisfied getting a Colonel. Our politics are just too polluted, with too many politicians having totally sold out (the country and their constituents) to be able to bring the biggest hammer down. It takes a generation to change a culture, even a political culture, and the culture we have here today is as sordid, rancid, polluted and criminal as any this poor planet has ever seen.
It’s going to be long slog just turning it around, let alone cleaning it out. A lot of players are going to have to go away or pass away. And the population will have to wake up from its divisions and realize we’ve all been played and we’ve all been had. That’s a tough process and we are a weak people.
ONE YEAR AND A HALF FOR THAT!?
“insubordinate” !? Alot of people placed all their bets on IG Horowitz :-) Bu-wa-ha-haa !!!
An exoneration of Comey !? That means Horowitz is really saying Comey was unfairly terminated !
“The honest answer is I screwed up a couple of things, but ... I think given what I knew at the time, these were the decisions that were best calculated to preserve the values of the institutions,” Comey told ABC News. “I still think it was the right thing to do.”
Tip of the Iceberg...
this is sniffing the air, and you know what I smell? a few will get the back of their hand whacked with a ruler, no criminal charges, no one getting fired , no one going to jail. bottom line , this was a year of wasted time and money.
SO the IG report is out.
It’s just been leaked to ABC News first.
"The review will not substitute the OIG’s judgment for the judgments made by the FBI or the Department regarding the substantive merits of investigative or prosecutive decisions."
Most of the 'fixing' of the investigation in Hillary's favor involved investigatory and prosecutorial decisions.
Such as deciding whether or not to seize evidence. Whether to grant immunity for nothing. And whether or not to charge Hillary.
So don't expect the report to criticize the DOJ/FBI for corruptly 'fixing' Hillary's case and not charging her.
The IG already told us, they're not going to second guess DOJ/FBI on whether or not Hillary should have been charged with a crime.
That's why this long IG report process has been, for the most part, an effort to delay things and distract from the fact that no special counsel was appointed many months ago to investigate the obviously crooked way the DOJ/FBI handled the 'fixing' of Hillary's crimes.
Sessions has recused himself from anything to do with Hillary's campaign. It seems clear that he considers that to include the question of whether crimes were committed by the DOJ/FBI in declaring that she is not a crook her during the election season.
“Insubordinate” and “rebuked”? Americans have lost again, Deep state wins again.
“could not confirm the use of the term”
Word semantics are only used to allow the swamp to survive and flourish.
Good grief, we are helpless against this evil.
OH BOY!
Now they will all be heading to court and then prison in 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2... NEVER!
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.
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
Mueller Comey and clan must have came from the Mexican government offices the way their getting away with things so much for American law.
