The FBI is about to make excuses for the Clinton investigation again

Certain current and former members of the FBI and the Department of Justice are steeling themselves for Thursday’s anticipated release of the inspector general’s report. The report is rumored to be a scathing rebuke of decision-making in the Hillary Clinton private email server investigation.
Central figures like former Attorney General Loretta Lynch and fired FBI Director James Comey are included, according to sources familiar with a draft copy.
President Trump is scheduled to receive a briefing on the report’s findings ahead of its release.
Some journalists and media analysts have already begun feeble attempts to pre-emptively blunt the report’s impact, bemoaning the fact that partisan critics of Comey, et al, may “weaponize†the evidence to bludgeon institutions they feel are sacrosanct and beyond reproach.
And of course, improper actions and dubious decisions by civil servants, political appointees, and elected officials are “justified†under the “We had to, because of Trump!†exception to rules, protocols, and laws.
