DOJ watchdog says no proof FBI officials' Trump criticism impacted probes: report

>The Justice Department's ethics watchdog reportedly found no evidence that the political leanings of two FBI officials, who exchanged text messages critical of President Trump during the 2016 election, directly impacted the FBI's investigations, while noting that their conduct "cast a cloud" over the bureau's actions.

Top Democrats say IG report proves Comey's decisions helped Trump, hurt Clinton

>The top Democrats on the House Oversight and Judiciary committees said Horowitz’s report proves that the former FBI director James Comey’s conduct during the campaign helped catapult President Trump into the Oval Office, while derailing Hillary Clinton’s campaign.

>"The stark conclusion we draw after reviewing this report is that the FBI's actions helped Donald Trump become President,” Oversight’s Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and Judiciary’s Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) said in a joint statement on Thursday.

Horowitz found Comey did not speak 'directly and substantively' with Attorney General before making major Clinton probe decisions

>Horowitz said Comey failed to properly communicate with Attorney General Loretta Lynch ahead of both his July 2016 press conference on Clinton’s email probe and his subsequent letter to Congress on the matter in October 2016.

>“We found it extraordinary that, in advance of two such consequential decisions, the FBI director decided that the best course of conduct was to not speak directly and substantively with the attorney general about how best to navigate those decisions,” according to the report obtained by Bloomberg.

OH COME THE FUCK ON.

 

IG report does not challenge decision not to prosecute Clinton

1:16 p.m.

>Horowitz’s report does not challenge the Justice Department’s decision not to pursue charges against Hillary Clinton, The New York Times reported, citing officials who were briefed on the document.

>The review also did not find that political bias within the department affected the decision not to prosecute the former secretary of State.

>In 2016, after wrapping up the FBI’s investigation into Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was serving as the nation’s top diplomat, Comey said that Clinton acted “extremely careless” in her handling of classified information, but ultimately recommended against criminal charges.

>That decision drew criticism from many of Clinton’s opponents, who accused the FBI and Justice Department of political bias and letting her off the hook for wrongdoings.
