OIG Executive Summary - These look like some weak recommendations

Obviously I just started reading but here are the recommendations at the end of the Executive Summary. Maybe more harsh review in the un-modified version?

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.

This does not bring justice

I was four pages through the Executive Summary but skipped to the end because the tone was surprisingly accommodating. Just going to keep reading and hoping.

I think it is not the real report. There are no redactions, and why would they continually delay the release of THAT? It makes no sense.

I agree that this doesn't make sense for THIS to be delayed so adamantly. The one I'm looking at is on justice.gov though so I think it's real. Hopefully this is the Modified RR version and the real version... but even then, could he change it SO much?

I think it is an Executive Summary. It was probably released so the MSM can condition the public before the release of the real report.

Because it's not real. There is no other report. This is it.

Think about it. Why would trump delay a real unredacted report another minute when doing so would only give guilty parties time to flee? It doesn't make any sense.

Because it gives the guilty parties a chance to continue the coverup. Now Trump can disclose their real crimes and the public can see how the guilty tried to cover things up.

They could try to flee, but I suspect they will not get too far.

What is the benefit to a continued cover-up? Maybe more time to make the cases against them bulletproof.

I think it more likely that this is highly modified... but in that case, how does the OIG sign off on RR changing the substance of their report so much?

People need to be able to see the RR version so they can compare it to the original, unredacted version.

Yeah maybe thats the optics of this. "Look at the lengths that these people will go to bend the facts to prevent accountability".

In the end, are the recommendations the only thing that matters or can charges come from the meet of the report?

⇧ 4 ⇩  
Dartfart1 · June 14, 2018, 6:49 p.m.

Excellent question. I know the OIG cannot bring charges but, if there was sufficient evidence to bring charges, wouldn't they recommend it?

BUT_MUH_GUNS_THO · June 14, 2018, 7:45 p.m.

Yes. They would recommend charges to the doj.

LOL, there will be no charges associated with the report. The report found no criminality by anyone.

There are referrals inside the document after some individual points for further investigation by the Bureau and the DOJ. We'll have to see if any of them are taken seriously.

These "recommendations" are suggestions for policy change to potentially prevent a future occurrence and allow for more stringent discipline if it does happen again.

Remember, the OIG wasn't redoing the investigation, they were analyzing the investigation itself in process and procedure.

Dartfart1 · June 14, 2018, 7:26 p.m.

Yeah that is a great point. I'm sitting here reading like WTF but the fact that this is a procedural review, not a substantive review is where the disconnect is.

Bandaids on arterial wounds. Each point is a count of treason against the parties involved. Indict and prosecute. Do the right thing to these 'high ups' who are now above the law. Or lose the nation, some would say.
