Comey Broke From FBI Procedures in Clinton Probe, Watchdog Finds

Comey Broke From FBI Procedures in Clinton Probe, Watchdog Finds
By Chris Strohm
June 14, 2018, 9:07 AM CDT Updated on June 14, 2018, 9:20 AM CDT

    Inspector general probed an array of FBI, Justice decisions
    The findings may give Trump fresh grounds for criticism


Former FBI Director James Comey “deviated” from FBI and Justice Department procedures in handling the probe into Hillary Clinton, damaging the law enforcement agencies’ image of impartiality even though he wasn’t motivated by political bias, the department’s watchdog found in a highly anticipated report.

“While we did not find that these decisions were the result of political bias on Comey’s part, we nevertheless concluded that by departing so clearly and dramatically from FBI and department norms, the decisions negatively impacted the perception of the FBI and the department as fair administrators of justice,” Inspector General Michael Horowitz said in the report’s conclusions, which were obtained Thursday by Bloomberg News.

Republican critics seized on revelations from the inspector general that two FBI officials who worked on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, exchanged text messages sharply critical of Trump. Mueller removed Strzok from the inquiry after the texts were discovered, and Page has since left the FBI.

“We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that improper considerations, including political bias, directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed,” Horowitz said in the report to be issued Thursday. “The conduct by these employees cast a cloud over the entire FBI investigation.”

Right. No political bias.

They think we're that stupid.

How about mountains of circumstantial evidence? Did you find any of that?

Exactly as expected. And nothing will come from it, as always. We are so screwed.

I don't really care why Comey did it. The fact that he did it shows he is incompetent. This pretty much destroys the Lefts meme that Comey was fired without cause and that he is an unimpeachable person.

Exactly. No matter how this coin flips, it comes up pretty bad for Comey. He is being fingered for negatively impacting the FBI. Devastating.

Comey is hated by Clinton people and Trump people. That's pretty impressive.

While there well may be some Clinton people who hate Comey,  the Clintons are not among them.

Now we know why the delay since February.  It took this long to sanitize the report to make Comey and McCabe look innocent.  No political bias my ass.

Oversight Cmte Chair Gowdy: I am alarmed, angered, and deeply disappointed by the Inspector General's finding of numerous failures by DOJ and FBI in investigating potential Espionage Act violations by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Gowdy on DoJ IG rpt: This report confirms investigative decisions made by the FBI during the pendency of this investigation were unprecedented and deviated from traditional investigative procedures in favor of a much more permissive and voluntary approach.

Gowdy on DoJ IG rpt on Clinton/'16: The investigation was mishandled. The investigatory conclusions were reached before the end of the witness interviews. The July 5th press conference marked a serious violation of policy and process.

Gowdy on DoJ IG rpt: Comey violated Dept policy in several significant ways. The FBI's actions and those of..Comey severely damaged the credibility of the investigation, the public's ability to rely on the results of the investigation & the very institutions he claims to revere

Gowdy: The report also conclusively shows an alarming and destructive level of animus displayed by top officials at the FBI. Peter Strzok's manifest bias trending toward animus casts a pall on this investigation. Bias is so pernicious and malignant

Gowdy on DoJ IG rpt & Peter Strzok: His bias impacted his decision making and he assigned to himself the role of stopping the Trump campaign or ending a Trump Presidency.

Strzok text is extraordinary evidence of attempted targeting -- and the DOJ's refusal to turn it over to Congress is just as extraordinary. The American public are right to be deeply skeptical of this investigation. Mueller had better have something incredible.

No political bias so what was the motivation? 

Was it incompetence?   Why was this one investigation handled so differently.

I was hopeful of something resembling justice.   But I wasn't expecting it.

Face it, we're well on our way to becoming an oligarchy where there is a ruling class.  The ruling elite are not held to the same laws as everyone else.
