Inspector General Report on Clinton Email/Server Investigation Released
Yesterday, Inspector General Horowitz's 500+ page report was released. No real surprises; it contained details and conclusions that had been previously leaked (covered upthread), such as:
--FBI Director Comey's honesty wasn't deemed an issue, but his judgment and failure to follow protocols were severely criticized.
--Comey's public declaration that Clinton was "extremely careless" in her email/server practices, along with his informing Congress that the investigation was being reopened (shortly before election day), were deemed a violation of protocol, insubordinate, and extremely inappropriate.
--The FBI agent lovers who exchanged negative text messages about Trump (and several other Democrat and Republican politicians) during the email investigation were deemed unprofessional and inappropriate.
--The FBI's conclusion that there wasn't a crime nor a warranted prosecution of Clinton regarding her email/server practices was appropriate and confirmed by the IG.
--The IG concluded that none of the human errors (bad judgment, inappropriate communications) affected the outcome of the Clinton email investigation.
--The IG concluded that then-AG Loretta Lynch should not have welcomed Bill Clinton onto the plane when he approached her on the tarmac, given his wife was under investigation, even if the topic never arose (as Lynch and Bill Clinton both insist).
