But who knows?
You’ve got to hand it to Michael Horowitz: The Justice Department inspector general’s much-anticipated report on the Clinton-emails investigation may be half-baked, but if it is, it is the most comprehensive, meticulously detailed, carefully documented, thoughtfully reasoned epic in the history of half-bakery.
Why say do I say the report “may be half-baked� Why don’t I just come out and declare, “The report is half-baked� Well, I figure if I write this column in the IG’s elusive style, we’ll have the Rosetta Stone we need to decipher the report.
See, you probably sense that I believe the report is half-baked. But if I say it “may be†half-baked . . . well, technically that means it may not be, too. I mean, who really knows, right?
If that annoys you, try wading through 568 pages of this stuff, particularly on the central issue of the investigators’ anti-Trump bias. The report acknowledges that contempt for Trump was pervasive among several of the top FBI and DOJ officials making decisions about the investigation. So this deep-seated bias must have affected the decision-making, right? Well, the report concludes, who really knows?

McCarthy put together a hoot of a read! You gotta love the way he adroitly translated the IG’s report from government-speak into English with a twist of common sense.
For all his assiduous attention to detail, IG Horowitz has weaved a no-common-sense report.
LOL!

He abandoned his usual tact to show his response.
A year ago he was expressing his trust in the integrity of his former colleagues. Now he's expressing more disgust.

Given that most reasonable observers can see the truth that’s hiding in plain sight, that Mueller’s team has been orchestrating a phony political witch hunt – and that the media/democrat narrative has a supporting role in it – how can a right thinking republican or conservative give this process any cover?
If you find you are one who thinks the “investigation†should play itself out, then you have joined the hunt by lending legitimacy to the hunters.
We all should be demanding this farce stop now. This is not how Americans conduct our electoral politics.

You're kidding.... right? I think it's pretty obvious by now... that "we" don't have any say in how things go in this country any more. The passage of ObamaCare proved that. And even with a GOP majority and GOP in the executive branch, the radical leftists are still getting away with their usual crap.
Meanwhile....the guys that 'should' be demanding that this farce stop now (in Congress, especially) are merely bitching from the sidelines, showing their nadless ineptitude. Sad.
