IG Horowitz's report didn't say there was no individual bias when it came to FBI agents' personal political views and communications. They are human beings and have opinions like everyone else.
The IG report only said that that the investigation uncovered nothing to indicate that personal biases for or against Clinton or Trump had an impact on the final outcome of the Clinton email/server investigation.
Yesterday, Horowitz appeared for questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee. He stated that he cannot be sure that bias on the part of Peter Strzok didn't impact Strzok's decision to prioritize continued focus on the Russia meddling investigation over the Weiner/Abedin laptop investigation.
The fact that the laptop investigation was delayed was bad for Clinton because by the time Comey (wrongly and insubordinately, according to the IG report) informed the Congress that he was re-opening the Clinton email/server investigation in that limited scope, it was very close to election day. Of course, the Republican Congress leaked the information to the press, which Comey says he knew was gonna happen, but he took it upon himself to breach protocol and inform Congress anyway because he was sure Clinton was gonna win no matter what. Clusterfuck of bad decisions and wrong assumptions.
Horowitz refused to answer questions about whether pro-Trump FBI agents were feeding Giuliani information during the run-up to election day because that's part of a separate investigation.
Anyway, I think it's good that FBI Director Wray is having all FBI heads and agents undergo training in regards to protocols, practices, personal communications sent on FBI devices, etc... Comey's poor judgment and the unprofessional/biased communications found on Strozk's and Page's cell phones are black eyes for the Bureau. Here's what that training entails: https://www.wsj.com/articles/fbi-bias-tr...1529445819
