A bombshell report released Thursday by the Justice Department's inspector general includes new evidence that an FBI agent and an agency lawyer who were having an affair in 2016 were also plotting to keep President Donald Trump from winning the election.

“We’ll stop it.”
Sounds familiar. Opposition to anything during the Obama administration yielded a “we’ll stop it” mission. If there were political opposition to Obamacare, the IRS or some other means was used against anyone speaking out. They had been doing this for years, so stopping Trump became another mission.
Pray for an awakening in our country. Pray for repentance. Pray for mercy.
No, the “recommendations” are milquetoast.
An advisory board of TAXPAYERS oughta be convened to determine what the penalties should be!!!
This business of government employees policing themselves....DOES NOT WORK!!!
Yeah but there was no evidence of political motivation or bias.

Gross incompetence I’d more damning than bias.
Yes, you are correct.
Here's CNN's take:
FUNNY, DARING MESSAGES EXCHANGED BY THE FBI'S 'ROMEO AND JULIET'
In a series of humorous, daring messages, an FBI agent and an agency lawyer who were having an affair in 2016 were also plotting to in an admirable attempt to keep Trump from winning the election.
In an email on August 8, 2016, Special Agent Peter Strzok lovingly reassured Page that she needn't worry about Trump winning the White House.
Trump is 'not ever going to become president, right? Right?!' Page joked with Strzok.
'No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it,' he responded, with great determination.
This exchange clearly shows that there is utterly no evidence of political bias or any favoritism during the FBI's investigation, and that Donald Trump paid Russian hookers to pee on him.
So the report saves comey and petey is the fall guy.
cant get full honesty out of anyone in dc.
Nothing will be done. They win. Just wait until the next Democrat president and repeat the cycles until the country dies.
First, we found that several FBI employees who played critical roles in the investigation sent political messages—some of which related directly to the Midyear investigation—that created the appearance of bias and thereby raised questions about the objectivity and thoroughness of the Midyear investigation. Even more seriously, text messages between Strzok and Page pertaining to the Russia investigation, particularly a text message from Strzok on August 8 stating “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.” in response to a Page text “[Trump’s] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!,” are not only indicative of a biased state of mind but imply a willingness to take official action to impact a presidential candidate’s electoral prospects. This is antithetical to the core values of the FBI and the Department of Justice. While we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that improper considerations, including political bias, directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed in Chapter Five, the conduct by these employees cast a cloud over the entire FBI investigation and sowed doubt about the FBI’s work on, and its handling of, the Midyear investigation. It also called into question Strzok’s failure in October 2016 to follow up on the Midyear-related investigative lead discovered on the Weiner laptop. The damage caused by these employees’ actions extends far beyond the scope of the Midyear investigation and goes to the heart of the FBI’s reputation for neutral factfinding and political independence.
The OIG report states that FBI sent political messages that create appearances of bias and raises questions about objectivity. So it is about far more people than just Strzok and Page.
The OIG did not find "documentary or testimonial evidence that that improper considerations, including political bias, ...", this conclusion specifically states that, " the conduct by these employees cast a cloud over the entire FBI investigation and sowed doubt about the FBI’s work on, and its handling of, the Midyear investigation." In other words, the FBI and DOJ employees did not give him documents or testimony admitting their bias. Of course they didn't; those corrupt people were not going to sign their own indictment and admit their crimes.The OIG is not saying there wasn't bias, because this same paragraph clearly states that he believes their was bias.
If you scroll down to Attachment H, you will see a diagram of a number of high-ranking FBI personnel exchanging phone calls with reporters, including over 20 each between the Director (had to be Comey) and a "special Agent" with a particular reporter.
Hard to see how Comey can avoid prosecution for these crimes. The others have real problems, too.
They sent each other over 300 texts a day. Only 15% (IIRC) were passed to the committee and even those had personal (pillow talk) redacted.
Since this is PDJT’s 72nd Birthday, just THINK of all the great presents he could give America & himself with a long list of firings.
Hope he gets plenty of ice cream & cake for his birthday.
IF there really are 35,000 ++ sealed indictments already prepared, at least ONE of them has to have a name that we recognize.
I hope that passports re being frozen & many names are being put on the NO FLY list, as I type this.
Yep, timing is the key because of optics.
