“So you’re saying this report was watered down because of Deep State bias and interference and not because Horowitz’s hands were tied?”
Nope. Didn’t say that.
“Comey’s statement was basically, she’s guilty as hale but because she didn’t intend to break the law, so we’ll just excuse her from any charges.”
Which was the DOJ’s reasoning to not prosecute Alberto Gonzales for mishandling secret documents during Bush 43. He didn’t intend to break the law, he was careless, sloppy, forgetful, whatever. The OIG deferred to that 2008 precedent, they cite it in the report.
“Said a week before the election. If that’s not “political bias”, I need to know how to spell it so I can look it up in the dictionary and see what it says.”
Comey wasn’t required to issue any pre-election report on Hillary’s email server, and it certainly didn’t help her when he did. It wasn’t up to him whether she would be charged. That decision belonged entirely to AG Lynch and she wasn’t going to do it.
I don't have the time to keep up.
I'm glad you do.
