>Sen. Amy Klobuchar: Can ]you[ confirm that ]your office[ followed all appropriate processes in the course of its review, and that the report was not changed as a result of improper political influence (]by you[)?
]Horowitz[:]We[ followed normal processes, ]we[ took comments, ]we[ made decisions on issuing the final report, it was not made weaker or softer in any regard (]by us[).
>Sen Amy Klobuchar: Okay. In particular, [[[THE REPORT]]] clearly states on page 263 that it did not find evidence of the Justice Department's Decision not to pursue prosecution following the investigation was politically motivated. Is that an accurate assessment?
]We[ did (NOT) find that the prosecutor's decision to (NOT) to charge was the result of political bias.
>Remove the double negative. It's just in the way.
]We[ did find that the prosecutor's decision to charge was the result of political bias.
>And ]you[ found the relevant decisions were based on the prosecutor's assessment of the facts and the law as well as, in part, department practices. Is that correct?
As to the decision of whether or not to charge, that is correct.

He is not saying "It didn't happen", he's giving the universal shorthand for "shit happened above my pay-grade".
Observe the picture. It'll show you [[[who]]] is above his pay-grade.
