It's whatever the person spinning it says it is. Comey, Chris Wallace, all of CNN, the DEMs, to a tee, all assert this report is a flat out exoneration. They cite summariy sentences and removes the "qualifying" words so that "no direct evidence" becomes "no evidence."
Of course the IG is going to cover for the agency . That is the prime function of IG.
Horowitz is creative too. If there is no policy directly on the point, for example, no policy on handling presidential campaigns, then find no policy violation. Voila - exoneration.
Put it a little bit of carelessness and slop so Congress can have hearings and pretend a fix - it's all good. Taxpayers keep paying for the abuse.
I agree. It’s a mixed bag. There are things in there that both sides can seize upon. Definitely not an exoneration. But not a slam dunk for our side either. That will have to wait for Barr/Durham.
