That's incorrect. "We concluded that the FBI's decision to open Crossfire Hurricane and the four related individual investigations was, under Department and FBI policy, a discretionary judgment call and that the FBI's exercise of discretion was in compliance with those policies.
"We concluded that AD Priestap's exercise of discretion in opening the investigation was in compliance with Department and FBI policies, and we did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that political bias or improper motivation influenced his decision."
They have concluded that it was proper and done correctly. They CONCLUDED he followed procedures.
You only half disputed what I said, while calling it incorrect.
“They have concluded that it was proper and done correctly. They CONCLUDED he followed procedures.”
They concluded that it was done correctly, administratively - which is what I said. The impropriety is all over the report, though the IG declines to assign or assert cause for that.
