Trouble already...In the "Conduct of Midyear Investigation", it says:

"The Midyear investigation focused on whether Clinton intended to transmit classified information on unclassified systems..."

My understanding, intent is not part of the law and was "added" as a qualifier by the FBI ( Comey ?)

simple, there is no indication now that Mueller’s probe is politically based.

Regarding the IG report, if you don’t think this whole thing is a sham from the get go, here is a paragraph from the excutive summary:

“As described in Chapter Seven of our report, the
prosecutors concluded that the evidence did not support
prosecution under any of these statutes for various
reasons, including that former Secretary Clinton and her
senior aides lacked the intent to communicate classified
information on unclassified systems. Critical to their
conclusion was that the emails in question lacked
proper classification markings, that the senders often
refrained from using specific classified facts or terms in
emails and worded emails carefully in an attempt to
“talk around” classified information, that the emails
were sent to other government officials in furtherance
of their official duties, and that former Secretary Clinton
relied on the judgment of State Department employees
to properly handle classified information, among other
facts.
We further found that the statute that required the
most complex analysis by the prosecutors was Section
793(f)(1), the “gross negligence” provision that has
been the focus of much of the criticism of the
declination decision. As we describe in Chapters Two
and Seven of our report, the prosecutors analyzed the
legislative history of Section 793(f)(1), relevant case
law, and the Department’s prior interpretation of the
statute. They concluded that Section 793(f)(1) likely
required a state of mind that was “so gross as to almost
suggest deliberate intention,” criminally reckless, or
“something that falls just short of being willful,” as well
as evidence that the individuals who sent emails
containing classified information “knowingly” included or
transferred such information onto unclassified systems.
The Midyear team concluded that such proof was
lacking.”

Pay particular to the glossing over the gross negligence matter. It totally ignores she set up this server to avoid any scrutiny. IOW, she intended to bypass any oversight and de facto any worry about security.

There you have it. I read the rest of the summary and am not going to bother reading the full report because there is no there there. It is total whitewash. No mention by the way of the misuse of the NSA info BECAUSE that was not a DOJ matter. We have been led down this rabbit hole to bury the whole mess in the sum up phrase: errors of judgement.

Neither Strzok nor Page has ever been called to testify under oath before a Congressional committee, right? How is this even possible, at this point?

Declassifying the entire unreacted report and releasing it to the public, will not likely make any difference.

Obama appointed Michael Horowitz and Horowitz is a dem. I suspect that Obama is still running the show. Sure a few low hanging rotten apples must fall, but I suspect much has already been fixed.

The corruption in our government is just too big to fix, unless Trump can find a way to pull out all the stops....

Clinton exonerated by IG:

“As described in Chapter Seven of our report, the prosecutors concluded that the evidence did not support prosecution under any of these statutes for various reasons, including that former Secretary Clinton and her senior aides lacked the intent to communicate classified information on unclassified systems.”

“We therefore concluded that these were legal and policy judgments involving core prosecutorial discretion that were for the Department to make.”

You did not miss a thing. We let the dems play three card monte with our attention, two years have lapsed, and the matter will be viewed as moot from here out.

I love the statement, which I paraphrase: there may have been better avenues of investigation to take but we are not going to criticize that judgment. IOW giving everyone immunity before finding out what they intended to say or letting Mills et al sit in the meeting was just an error in judgment. I howled reading they let that happen because not to do that would have meant they would have had to subpeona Hitlery. SHE WAS A CANDIDATE, NOT ELECTED.

COMEY FOUND THAT HILLARY WAS EXCESSIVELY CARELESS WITH CLASSIFIED INFO. SHE HAD UNAUTHORIZED FILE SERVERS AND EVIDENCE WAS DESTROYED E-MAILS AND CELL PHONES. ALL SESSIONS AND TRUMP HAVE OR HAD TO DO WAS INDICT HER BASED ON COMEY’S FINDINGS.

“Report also blasts fired FBI chief James Comey and says he ‘deviated’ from established FBI practices in the Clinton email probe”

That’s a blast?
