In spite of all the material showing FBI agents and lawyers’ disdain for Donald Trump, the OIG report nevertheless concluded there was no political bias at the bureau that had any impact on their actual investigations. Buck Sexton isn’t buying it, and pointed out some heavy-duty irony based on something FBI Director Wray said in his statement yesterday:
Pretty sure that proclaiming “we will stop Trump” from being president is evidence of bias when you are an official investigating that person-
But I’m glad the FBI will now be able to hash this out in the anti-bias training it doesn’t need because there was no bias

Well isn’t that something?
The IG report presents lots of anti-Trump bias, and then comes to the conclusion there was no bias-
Almost like Hillary Clinton having a ton of illegal classified on her computer, and then the FBI pretending that it wasn’t illegal

Wow! The anti-bias training for the bureau where there’s no bias will commence soon:
Chris Wray's plan has three components:
1. Disciplinary investigations.
2. Political bias training.
3. Sweeping policy review.New today from The Post's @DevlinBarrett https://t.co/FRewlKYLF8

FBI Director Christopher Wray says he will require all senior executives complete “in-depth training specifically focused on learning the lessons we should learn” from the IG report, which includes, “drilling home the importance of objectivity” #tictocnews pic.twitter.com/Yv4hgSX8Sj

The training should be fairly straightforward:
Day 1, Lesson 1 for FBI officers,
"Do not send text messages on work phones saying you will stop someone from becoming President"
