568 pages.... wow! I hope it’s not a long way of saying nothing happened.
>We further found that the statute that required the most complex analysis by the prosecutors was Section 793(f)(1), the “gross negligence” provision that has been the focus of much of the criticism of the declination decision. As we describe in Chapters Two and Seven of our report, the prosecutors analyzed the legislative history of Section 793(f)(1), relevant case law, and the Department’s prior interpretation of the statute. They concluded that Section 793(f)(1) likely required a state of mind that was “so gross as to almost suggest deliberate intention,” criminally reckless, or “something that falls just short of being willful,” as well as evidence that the individuals who sent emails containing classified information “knowingly” included or transferred such information onto unclassified systems.
The Midyear team concluded that such proof was lacking. We found that this interpretation of Section 793(f)(1) was consistent with the Department’s historical approach in prior cases under different leadership, including in the 2008 decision not to prosecute former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales for mishandling classified documents. We analyzed the Department’s declination decision according to the same analytical standard that we applied to other decisions made during the investigation. We did not substitute the OIG’s judgment for the judgments made by the Department, but rather sought to determine whether the decision was based on improper considerations, including political bias. We found no evidence that the conclusions by the prosecutors were affected by bias or other improper considerations; rather, we determined that they were based on the prosecutors’ assessment of the facts, the law, and past Department practice.
We therefore concluded that these were legal and policy judgments involving core prosecutorial discretion that were for the Department to make.
-----------
There is absolutely no comparison to what Gonzales did. Gonzales messed up once with no harm to national security. Hillary deliberately circumvented systems to protect secrets - for years.
It’s a complete whitewash.
It’s an outrage that we waited all this time for some answers, and this is what we get.
Horowitz ought to go on the suspect list at this point.
So, all of this is just to further paper over Hillary’s blatant crimes and the FBI’s cover-up of same?
HOW MANY EFFIN TIMES DO we have to say ...THE FIX IS IN in every matter that concerns the FAT UGLY SIDE OF BEEF BITCH?!! No freakin JUSTICE!! Trump better haul that bitch to jail!!! I don’t care how he does it!! Just do it!!!
Yes the Gonzales comparison is out if the blue.
This really is mire Orwellian Nonsense.
The argument is because they denied sending any classified material they are not guilty, despite actually having done it.
I Am shocked at just how thorough a whitewash it is. It is as if the Clinton’s wrote it themselves.
Yessir. We could have saved them months of effort by just going to Home Depot and buying a couple of cans of whitewash.
I don’t believe in the justice system anymore. Not in the slightest.
KEEP DRAINING THE SWAMP.
ALL BUSH LEAGUE AND OBAMA HOLDOVERS MUST GO!!!!!
So the Russia investigation was tainted?
“.....In particular, we were concerned about text messages
exchanged by FBI Deputy Assistant Director
Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, Special Counsel to the Deputy
Director, that potentially indicated or created the
appearance that investigative decisions were impacted
by bias or improper considerations. As we describe in
Chapter Twelve of our report, most of the text
messages raising such questions pertained to the
Russia investigation, which was not a part of this
review. Nonetheless, the suggestion in certain Russia-
related text messages in August 2016 that Strzok might
be willing to take official action to impact presidential
candidate Trump’s electoral prospects caused us to
question the earlier Midyear investigative decisions in
which Strzok was involved, and whether he took specific
actions in the Midyear investigation based on his
political views. As we describe Chapter Five of our
report, we found that Strzok was not the sole
decisionmaker for any of the specific Midyear investigative decisions we examined in that chapter......”
"Sole" and "solely" are favored weasel-words in cover-ups.
It’s worse than saying nothing happened. It’s a whitewash. It doesn’t deal with the server in the bathroom.
While overseas Hillary told one of her staff people who was stateside to remove the classification header from a classified document and to send it to her over an unclassified communication device.
Department of Just Us they think this crap will go away?
so much for the “oig’s report just another coverup of corruption at the highest levels...how can these people sleep at night? disappointed is not the word and neither is surprised. nuke D.C. is what it will take to clean out this swamp.
