There has been SO MUCH NOISE around the #IGReport, especially Democrats focusing on the one line they think clears everything up, ‘Comey not motivated by political bias.’ Forget that everything we’re seeing, especially those AWFUL text messages from actual FBI agents, shows a disgusting and disturbing political bias within the FBI itself.
Kimberley Strassel broke everything down in a simple yet incredibly damning thread …
1) Don't believe anyone who claims Horowitz didn't find bias. He very carefully says that he found no "documentary" evidence that bias produced "specific investigatory decisions." That's different #IGReport
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) June 14, 2018
So basically nothing in ‘writing’.
2) It means he didn't catch anyone doing anything so dumb as writing down that they took a specific step to aid a candidate. You know, like: "Let's give out this Combetta immunity deal so nothing comes out that will derail Hillary for President." #IGReport
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) June 14, 2018
Got it.
3) But he in fact finds bias everywhere. The examples are shocking and concerning, and he devotes entire sections to them. And he very specifically says in the summary that they "cast a cloud" on the entire "investigation's credibility." That's pretty damning. #IGReport

Notice we’re not seeing this reported by our good buddies in the traditional media.
4) Meanwhile this same cast of characters who the IG has now found to have made a hash of the Clinton investigation and who demonstrate such bias, seamlessly moved to the Trump investigation. And we're supposed to think they got that one right? #IGReport

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
5) Also don't believe anyone who says this is just about Comey and his instances of insubordination. (Though they are bad enough.) This is an indictment broadly of an FBI culture that believes itself above the rules it imposes on others. #IGReport

Don’t forget our good buddy, Obama.
6) People failing to adhere to their recusals (Kadzik/McCabe). Lynch hanging with Bill. Staff helping Comey conceal details of presser from DOJ bosses. Use of personal email and laptops. Leaks. Accepting gifts from media. Agent affairs/relationships.
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) June 14, 2018
Awful.
7)It also contains stunning examples of incompetence. Comey explains that he wasn't aware the Weiner laptop was big deal because he didn't know Weiner was married to Abedin? Then they sit on it a month, either cuz it fell through cracks (wow) or were more obsessed w/Trump
— Kimberley Strassel (@KimStrassel) June 14, 2018
How could he not know Weiner was her husband? That’s so damn ridiculous.
8) And I can still hear the echo of the howls from when Trump fired Comey. Still waiting to hear the apologies now that this report has backstopped the Rosenstein memo and the obvious grounds for dismissal.

Psh. Wouldn’t hold your breath for any apologies.
Will someone please ask the following question to one of the players. "Will the Clinton case file be forwarded to the DOJ for re-examination and possible prosecution?"

Good question.
The statue of limitations on crimes by federal employees is 5 years. Hillary left office in early 2013. Unless someone spills their guts on a conspiracy (which makes an ongoing crime, so the clock doeswn't start until the LAST overt act), Hillary is free & clear

If this is indeed true, interesting timing on the release of the report.
No one will be held accountable.

If this entire passage doesn’t scream “politically biased” then we need to close up the Federal Bureau of “INVESTIGATIONS” because they have zero investigative skills.
Might as well make Tommy Flanagan, the Pathological Liar head of the FBI… pic.twitter.com/hGm4kyLkZ9— Rants Outloud ?? (@RantsOutloud) June 15, 2018
Wow.
Horowitz would have to be blind, deaf & dumb to find "no bias" is his report…everything he said showed Strzok & Page (among others) were biased as hell against Trump. #OIGReport #FBIStarbucks
