Today is the day that many of us have been looking forward to, the much delayed release of the DOJ Office of Inspector General's report on the mangled Clinton email investigation.

Those of us who have been obsessing over this knew how it would go: the forces of denial, led by the likes of Adam Schiff, would leak the report to get the first reports out and shape the narrative in the way most favorable to them. We know and expect this.

To get a head start on working out the truth I thought it would be useful to have a discussion thread on the topic, across all the many news reports and blogger commentary that is sure to rain down like a deluge in a couple hours.

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." - Winston Churchill

Let's get our pants on Freepers!

I predict that Trump will declassify it so that we can see the whole report.

FBI agent texted ‘We’ll stop’ Trump from becoming president...

Yeah... and he’s STILL working for the FBI.
Tells you all you need to know about them, doesn’t it?

So far it looks like some individuals are being accused of violations that can produce a bad performance review. But no conspiracy and certainly no political bias except in a few odd cases.

Bloomberg was leaked a copy so they could downplay it. “No political bias” is their main talking point.

Retweeting this because disinformation is happening and people are blackpilling in my comments.

READ THE REPORT YOURSELF.

If you’re not reading the report yourself, and you’re accepting other peoples’ views on it and you’re blackpilling over it, then that’s a YOU problem.The_War_Economy added,

Here is the Bloomberg article, which is summarized accurately by Drudge's first three bullets above. (In case he changes his links, which he does frequently).

Comey Broke From FBI Procedures in Clinton Probe, Watchdog Finds

The key Lib talking point is in the lede, as you'd expect, and we can expect this to be repeated like a mantra by the MSM and Obama Complicit Media all day long: he wasn’t motivated by politics.

We don't even know if the OIG report says that yet, we just know that Bloomberg, ABC and CBS are fast out of the gate to tell us that is what is says.

If the leaks are true, this report will be a whitewash, just as the 9/11
report was a whitewash. No political bias? Surely this is a joke.

Trent Lott once said you can’t change Washington.
This report may prove his statement was chillingly true.

No Political Bias

Would like to see the details on that one , other than the Bloomberg summary

How can he break from procedures in something that the average person relates to politics and a finding being “ no political bias “

Also Strok and Page aren’t “ political” and Billy Jeff / Loretta not political..

Sounds like legal “ weasel interpretation” if true...

"We'll stop Trump from becoming president"

but...

"No Political Bias".

I had high hopes that there was at least one person in D.C. who was honest. Everyone said that this IG was that person. Guess not...

One example cited in the new report is an email exchange between Strzok and Page on Aug. 8, 2016. Page questioned whether Trump would become president. Strzok replied: “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.”

“While we did not find that these decisions were the result of political bias on Comey’s part, we nevertheless concluded that by departing so clearly and dramatically from FBI and department norms, the decisions negatively impacted the perception of the FBI and the department as fair administrators of justice,” Inspector General Michael Horowitz said.

If Page and Strzok operated under Comey, Comey is- or should be- FULLY responsible. The two statements above are in conflict, and the first one seems inoperative.

Speaking of conflict.....

Representatives Jerrold Nadler and Elijah Cummings, the top Democrats on the House Judiciary and Oversight committees, said in a statement that “the stark conclusion we draw after reviewing this report is that the FBI’s actions helped Donald Trump become president.”

The corollary then is:
A) The FBI was working for Russia to help Trump win, and
B) there was absolutely no collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign since it was the FBI itself that "won" the election for Trump.

Can we shut down Mueller now?
