The Justice Department's internal watchdog has concluded that James Comey defied authority at times during his tenure as FBI director, according to sources familiar with a draft report on the matter.
One source told ABC News that the draft report explicitly used the word "insubordinate" to describe Comey's behavior. Another source agreed with that characterization but could not confirm the use of the term.
In the draft report, Inspector General Michael Horowitz also rebuked former Attorney General Loretta Lynch for her handling of the federal investigation into Hillary Clinton's personal email server, the sources said.

Someone in the DOJ is anxious to get this out....I want to hear more!

This IG report is being slow-walked by DoJ. It was due out way back in February, then we were promised "Early Spring." It's Summer in a day over two weeks.
Can't Trump just seize the report, and unclassify it? Why is he depending on the very people implicated in the report to properly Classify the document?

FTA:
A week before the announcement, while the investigation into Hillary Clinton was still underway, a political firestorm erupted in Washington after Lynch happened to run into Bill Clinton in Arizona and briefly met with him inside a plane sitting on a tarmac there. Days later, with questions swirling over whether Bill Clinton tried to improperly influence the investigation into his wife, Lynch haphazardly announced that she would not recuse herself from the matter but would "fully expect to accept" whatever recommendation the FBI made.
Isn't that an improper delegation of responsibility? That would be like a DA allowing the Chief of Police to decide whether or not to prosecute a case. In this scenario, it would be more analogous to allowing that Chief to decide whether to prosecute his own wife for a Felony.

I doubt it too, but sometimes you have to "wave a dead chicken" to prove a point.
