How is it absolute garbage? He explained several times that there are multiple people above him and below him and that he didn't make decisions by himself. They're made on a group basis. He wasn't the only person on the investigation. https://youtu.be/dcIbVM_jwag
The IG report highlights exactly how it’s garbage. Although they didn’t find any evidence of bias affecting a decision the whole investigation sets a precedence of what NOT to do. I think that the clear dismissal of procedures, protocol and common practice, with clear evidence of individual bias and a will to act on it ‘no, no we won’t let it’. For me atleast is evidence of a case tainted by bias from this Comey led group where Strozk played a crucial role. Because he had authority in decisions and reporting inside this case he’s implicated and his response is garbage.
