The Justice Department’s internal watchdog released a much-anticipated 400-page report on the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server during her time as Secretary of State.
Among the bombshells finally coming to light is the revelation that anti-Trump FBI agent Peter Strzok showed a “willingness to take official action” to impact the presidential election, according to Inspector General Michael Horowitz. (The Daily Caller)
“(Trump’s) not ever going to become president, right? Right?!” asked another anti-Trump FBI agent, Lisa Page. “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it,” Strzok replied.
Strzok’s text “is not only indicative of a biased state of mind but, even more seriously, implies a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate’s electoral prospects,” the report said.
Other bombshells that we’ve been able to corroborate include:
1.) That the Bureau sat on further Clinton emails discovered on a laptop belonging to convicted sexual predator Anthony Weiner for over a month without taking any action.
2.) Agents prioritized the Russia investigation over the Clinton emails. It’s not clear if this was due to a political bias, although we should note that anti-Trump agent Peter Strzok was intimately involved in the decision-making process.
The IG report “did not identify a consistent or persuasive explanation for the FBI’s failure to act for almost a month after learning of potential [Clinton investigation-related] emails on the Weiner laptop.”
3.) Comey flagrantly ignored the rules to the detriment of the FBI’s long-standing reputation. The former FBI Director “engaged in ad hoc decision-making based on his personal views, even if it meant rejecting longstanding Department policy or practice.”
Comey – like Hillary – also used a personal email for official government business in violation of DOJ policy.
