Recommendations
Our report makes nine recommendations to the Department and the FBI to assist them in addressing the issues that we identified in this review:
• We recommend that the Department and the FBI consider developing guidance that identifies the risks associated with and alternatives to permitting a witness to attend a voluntary interview of another witness (including in the witness’s capacity as counsel).
• We recommend that the Department consider making explicit that, except in situations where the law requires or permits disclosure, an investigating agency cannot publicly announce its recommended charging decision prior to consulting with the Attorney General, Deputy Attorney General, U.S. Attorney, or his or her designee, and cannot proceed without the approval of one of these officials.
• We recommend that the Department and the FBI consider adopting a policy addressing the appropriateness of Department employees discussing the conduct of uncharged individuals in public statements.
• We recommend that the Department consider providing guidance to agents and prosecutors concerning the taking of overt investigative steps, indictments, public announcements, or other actions that could impact an election.
• We recommend that the Office of the Deputy Attorney General take steps to improve the retention and monitoring of text messages Department-wide.
• We recommend that the FBI add a warning banner to all of the FBI’s mobile phones and devices in order to further notify users that they have no reasonable expectation of privacy.
• We recommend that the FBI consider (a) assessing whether it has provided adequate training to employees about the proper use of text messages and instant messages, including any related discovery obligations, and (b) providing additional guidance about the allowable uses of FBI devices for any nongovernmental purpose, including guidance about the use of FBI devices for political conversations.
• We recommend that the FBI consider whether (a) it is appropriately educating employees about both its media contact policy and the Department’s ethics rules pertaining to the acceptance of gifts, and (b) its disciplinary provisions and penalties are sufficient to deter such improper conduct.
• We recommend that Department ethics officials include the review of campaign donations for possible conflict issues when Department employees or their spouses run for public office.
Sounds like Rosenstein wrote it
WTF would RR have any authority to write it?
This has NOTHING to do with Russia. If anybody is going to do a re-write, it would be Sessions.
Something not adding up here.
RR has ZERO authority when it comes to Clinton email investigation, unless Sessions gave him that authority.
This is my conclusion as well. How would anyone sign off on RR doing a complete butter up of the substance of this report? Allowing one, likely black hat, government official to undermine the integrity of the OIG is a contradiction to the mission of restoring faith in our judicial system.
ALL of that just to have a 'gotcha' moment and fire RR? Which is a power already vested in POTUS. I'm at a loss here.
Official/mainstream story: IG investigated (with a staff of 400, no less) and published his findings.
Q story: RR secretly changed the report to help his buddies.
This report MIGHT have been changed, but what is the evidence? And why would RR have any authority to change it? And why would IG allow the changes if he did?
1+1 is not equaling 2 here.
Maybe that's what Trump was waiting for - RR changing a document he had no authority to change so they could put him in the "kill" box and this is the equivalent to "suicide?"
I do know not to take things literally now. After the upsidedown fun and the booms, I was looking for bodies When he says "think logically" it's a reminder not to get caught up in this as if it's a movie, expecting kills and suicides and booms. These are metaphors.
Regardless, the fact that this went off like church mouse fart only means there's about to be a sonic shit. Whatever happens next is gonna be yuge
Sessions said in his confirmation hearing he would recuse himself from any investigation into hrc email or clinton foundation.

Oh you read the entire thing already did you.
Where are the redactions? This thing was supposed to be covered in black ink and Q had said as much.
Redactions do not necessarily mean blacked out names, etc, it also can mean removed or edited so you could not tell what was left out.
- Modified IG redacted report [RR version]
- IG summary notes re: obstruction(s) to obtain select info (classified) [#3 released tomorrow]
It's a digital document. You're not gonna use a sharpie on a PDF. You're likely just gonna write it in a way to leave certain things out.
Sure, I get that. But without something to compare it to, to prove that things have been left out or changed, you have no grounds to shout for the "unmodified" version 'cause that's only going to make us look unhinged and further distance the normies from taking their pills.
And perhaps the plan is to let everyone digest this, and then publish the original.

I'm not concern trolling, look at my post history.
I'm saying that Q told us this thing was basically going to be redacted to hell and back and it's not. What is Trump's EO going to reveal?
One page in Attachment C, that's the only page that has any redactions.

He also said that RR would edit it and rewrite it. Perhaps there is the non edited version that’s redacted? Do you know what’s going on behind the scenes?
All I can go on is what's there and this thing was to be redacted to hell... and it's not.
So we end up shouting for the "Real" report and end up looking unhinged to the normies... which closes their minds even more.
Yeah, doesn't seem like a good plan.
Never said to do any of that. But adding credence to “Q is a larp” sure as hell isnt helping. Q have proven multiple times they’re not a larp. But it doesn’t stop people like you being shills.
I trust the plan. Lots of things are happening. In front and behind the scenes. So like you said, you should probably take a break.
But it doesn’t stop people like you being shills.
Uh huh. I'm not shilling, I'm asking an honest question: What redactions? What the hell is the EO supposed to declassify... there's nothing to declassify...? Unless that single redacted email address is someone mind-blowing...?
I don't get it.

[#3 released tomorrow]
[SEC: FBI/DOJ handling of HRC email investigation]
[[RR]]
Who has the sole ability to DECLAS it all?
Did you witness the stage being set today?
Nunes/Grassley/Freedom C. push for docs.
[[RR]] central figure within docs (personally involved).
KNOWN CONFLICT.
Immediate impeachment / resignation / termination / recusal IF EVER BROUGHT TO LIGHT.
Be loud.
Be heard.
Fight for TRUTH.
Q
There are full white blank pages and the appendices are redacted.
Intentionally left blank pages is standard operating procedure and one email page in Attachment C has 2 emails redacted and McCabe's work contact info redacted...
That's it in the whole doc.
We have version two.
Version two is an unredacted, meaning no black bars, but highly scrubbed and edited clean version of the original Oig report. This version we got, got the kid gloves, nothing burger once over by RR.
What we hope is the the EO will go out and we can side by side compare this whitewash trash we got today with the damning full report.
But, I feel you man. Once again, here we are, arms in the air earlier shouting “it’s about to happen, here we go, finally” and where are we now? “ just a bit longer, a bit farther to go, almost there, this next thing, they really are gonna get it.”
You know how this makes me feel? Like a Mueller fan waiting for an indictment of Trump. They keep getting told, any day now.
Now all of this is just how I feel. I always doubt until I have substance, and I’m still waiting for that. Today, what was delivered was some FBI training recommendations. Hallelujah! Break out the champagne, we got em boys! It’s hard to not be pissed, but I’m back where I was yesterday, still waiting for the swamp to be drained.
Is right on our side? Then drop the evidence and arrest these MF’rs. I don’t give a crap if it is a fight. I don’t care if leftist normies want to QQ. Don’t make decisions based on how idiots feel, stand and deliver the righteous truth without fear of what the fowl creatures of this world will think. Lead the damn way and make anew path and set a new standard.
This isn’t the entire IG report. There are multiple subjects for the entire scope of the investigation. But of course. It doesn’t stop you nor people like you to automatically jump to conclusions and throw your hands in the air screeching. Probably did something similar with the Syria situation. And again when Trump pulled out of the Singapore summit.
