No, that IG report doesn’t absolve the FBI from allegations of political bias.....

[MMC]

The Hill published a headline Thursday that read: “BREAKING: Justice Dept finds no evidence of political bias by Strzok, Page.”

That title, which echoed what seemed like a standard media reaction on Thursday, is false. The DOJ's inspector general (https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/inspector-general-no-political-bias-in-fbis-investigation-of-hillary-clintons-emails) definitely saw traces of political bias in how two FBI agents made famous by their anti-Donald Trump texts investigated the president.

First things first: It’s true the IG's review of the agency’s handling of Hillary Clinton’s private email server does not outright accuse agent Peter Strzok and his one-time paramour, FBI attorney Lisa Page, of political bias. But the report does not rule it out either.

To suggest the report absolves the FBI of allegations of partisan behavior simply isn't an accurate. Further, based on the contradiction between the IG's findings and its conclusion that it found no "political bias" in the FBI's Clinton investigation, I don't think the report itself is accurate.

It’s important to note the IG’s no-political-bias conclusion is in reference only to its review of the Clinton email investigation. The report does not deal with the FBI’s probe of Russia’s reported interference in the 2016 presidential election.

In other words, they found no bias in Strzok's and Page's investigations of Clinton, but they definitely didn't reach that conclusion regarding the couple's investigation of Trump.

The IG notes that Strzok prioritized the Russia investigation over “following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead discovered on the Weiner laptop.”

The report notes specifically, “We concluded that we did not have confidence that this decision by Strzok was free from bias.”*

So, that strongly suggests the possibility of bias......snip~

Ah, that explains why the leftness believes that no political bias is involved in investigating Trump. It figures the leftness would try to make more out of what was actually stated in the IG report. SO because the IG didn't find political bias under the Clinton Investigation. They think that extends into the investigation on Trump. Did anyone think the leftness would be honest?

[exotix]

Comey didn't care at all if he hurt Clinton ... Comey was curled up in a corner hoping he wasn't seen and interpreted as helping her.


This caused Trumpf to win ... then fired by Trumpf after he helped Trumpf win.

LMAO it caused Trump to win? Oh that's Right the leftness thinks that the Russians Cloaked Wisconsin, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan from Hillary. That they made sure she couldn't find those states. :laugh:

Which none of that has anything to do with Strzok's political bias and attempt to undermine a Trump Presidency.


Comey being incompetent is a completely different matter.

Its like Gowdy said.....and he sticks up for the FBI and DOJ. But he said this is definite political bias and animus against Trump.

[barb012]

Definitely there was bias. Clinton should never been allowed to have a private server in her home where her corrupt activities could be hidden from others in the government. She was a public figure and her activities are accountable to the public.

Even before this IG report.....a report comes out that the DOJ/FBI had an email wherein Hillary was breached. So they knew she lied under oath about sending and receiving Classified material in an email on her private homebrewed server that wasn't protected at times.

:rollseyes: The master has spoken. Bottom line of the report is that it didn't essentially affect the outcome of the election, and if it did it more than likely hurt Clinton more than Trump. That of course is an impossible thing to gauge, that being if and how much it hurt Clinton.

To bad Mueller got rid of Strzok and Page for political bias. You know its bad when the Special Counsel could see it even if the FBI can't.

James Baker admitted that Comey only "reopened" the investigation in the final days to get ahead of a leak. They had every intention to close it to soften the blow.

Six Key Points From the DOJ Inspector General Report.....


1) Bias was found at the FBI:

2) FBI agent Peter Strzok and FBI attorney Lisa Page exchanged messages about "stopping Trump" from becoming President.

3) Five agents, not just agents Strzok and attorney Page, expressed anti-Trump, pro-Clinton messages on official FBI devices.

https://media.townhall.com/townhall/reu/hv/images/2018/165/e3b91ceb-3698-452f-8e10-ce18155aff0b.png

4) One of those agents endorsed the "resistance."

5) Former FBI Director James Comey inappropriately went outside of the chain of command during the criminal investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He also botched the discovery of Clinton's emails on Anthony Weiner's laptop and used a personal Gmail account to conduct official FBI business.

6) Former Attorney General Loretta Lynch practiced poor judgement by secretly meeting with former President Bill Clinton on her private plane in 2016. Just days after the meeting, Comey announced Hillary Clinton would not be referred to DOJ for criminal prosecution for mishandling classified information. …..snip~

No, actually this entire report was about the Clinton e-mail investigation and how that was handled. It has nothing to do with the independent council investigation no matter how much you want it to. One of The Salesmans funniest lies after the release of this was it was total vindication of him in the Russia probe. I don't think so except in the post factual era we now find ourselves in.

By the way, Strzok, a Trump-hating little man grew bored as he could find no collusion.

So bias has been shown, yet the report states it had no material effect on the investigation. You don't think there were people in the FBI who had a bias against Clinton? They just weren't stupid enough to compose e-mails in the context of their work showing such. This idea that individuals in the FBI are supposed to be bias free is absurd. What matters is whether or not their biases affect how they did their actual investigative work and this report concludes that there is no there there.

That's irrelevant. The charge has been made that there was a vast deep state conspiracy including within the FBI yet nothing about the Russia investigation was leaked and the reopening of the e-mail investigation into Clinton was reupped and announced pre-election by Comey. If anybody has a beef here it would seem to be Clinton. Certainly not our dear leader.

One could make the argument that Comey was, indicated by his revelation of the reopening of the e-mail investigation days before the election. In fact if I was one of these conspiracy theorists I would say that the whole Comey thing was a grand ruse whereby he sabotaged Clinton with that release and then had Trump fire him as a diversion away from his bias against Clinton. Far fetched? Not any more than a lot of the nonsense that outs there already. I don't believe that. I think Comey to a certain extent was just a buffoon who made a mistake with that release. It did have real consequences but the extent of those consequences will never be known.

11 Quick Things To Know About The Inspector General’s Report (http://thefederalist.com/2018/06/15/11-quick-things-know-inspector-generals-report/)


1. Learn How To Interpret An IG Report

The best way to understand an inspector general (IG) report is less as a fiercely independent investigation that seeks justice and more like what you’d expect from a company’s human resources department. Employees frequently think that a company’s human resources department exists to serve employees. There’s some truth in that, but it’s more true that the human resources department exists to serve the corporation.

At the end of the day, the HR department wants what’s best for the company. The FBI’s IG Michael Horowitz has a good reputation for good reason. But his report is in support of the FBI and its policies and procedures. As such, the findings will be focused on helping the FBI improve its adherence to those policies and procedures. Those who expected demands for justice in the face of widespread evidence of political bias and poor judgment by immature agents and executives were people unfamiliar with the purpose of IG reports.

The IG is also a government bureaucrat producing government products that are supposed to be calm and boring. In the previous report that led to Andrew McCabe’s firing as deputy director of the FBI and referral for criminal prosecution, his serial lying under oath was dryly phrased as “lack of candor.” In this report detailing widespread problems riddled throughout the Clinton email probe, the language is similarly downplayed. Yet Horowitz fills the report with details of poor decision-making, extreme political bias, and problematic patterns of behavior.

2. FBI Agent Who Led Both The Clinton and Trump Probes Promised He’d Prevent Trump’s Election

3. Comey Mishandled The Clinton Probe In Multiple Ways

4. Comey Is Slippery And Weird

5. FBI Has A Massive Leak Problem And Is Doing Nothing About It

http://thefederalist.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Screen-Shot-2018-06-14-at-4.13.44-PM.png

6. FBI Almost Got Away With Ignoring Clinton Emails On Weiner Laptop

7. Breathtaking Bias

8. Clinton Got Breaks, But Some Backfired

9. Obama Lied When He Said He Knew Nothing About Hillary’s Secret E-mail Scheme

10. FBI Agent Joked Clinton Associate Who Lied Would Never Be Charged, Questioned Legitimacy Of Investigation

11. FBI’s Insulting Response

FBI Director Christopher Wray gave a press conference (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Red3LBQc73k&feature=youtu.be) in front of a compliant press corps where he said, “nothing in this report impugns the integrity of our workforce as a whole or the FBI as an institution.” In fact, the report paints a picture of an FBI with a problematic culture.

It’s not just Comey’s usurpation of authority and failure to comply with practices. Multiple people were involved in his condemned decisions. Others were cited for bad judgement in recusal decisions or failure to adhere to recusals. Political bias was rampant in the team of people who handled both the Clinton and Trump email probes. So were leaks, accepting gifts from reporters, incompetence, and other problems.

Instead, Wray issued a strawman defense of employees, bragged about the high number of applicants to the agency, and talked about the low percentage of recruits who were accepted.....snip~

After this nice diversion let's return to my question.

After looking through the entire report can you identify even one agent or manager who was biased against Clinton or was for Candidate Trump?
I really don't know what point you are trying to make here. Bias exists on both sides. If you don't think it does then you aren't being realistic. As far as the report goes, yes the 5 or so were obviously anti-Trump and that was just a stupid thing for them to reveal via their social media. The bottom line though is that the report states those biases had no material effect on the investigation. You may not like or agree with that conclusion but that doesn't change the conclusion.

I have a couple of questions for you and others on the site.

Do you think that out of all the agents out there working on these things that any of them had a bias against Clinton?

Do you think it possible to have a personal bias against someone yet perform your job without allowing that bias to interfere to the point that you would do something that's not by the book?

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz did not find that the conduct or potential political bias of FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page "directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed,” according to the report’s conclusions, which were obtained Thursday by Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-14/comey-broke-from-fbi-procedures-in-clinton-probe-watchdog-finds).



“We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that improper considerations, including political bias, directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed,” Horowitz's report conclusions reads, according to Bloomberg. “The conduct by these employees cast a cloud over the entire FBI investigation.”
Page and Strzok have faced a barrage of attacks by conservatives who say their "anti-Trump" text messages serve as proof of systemic bias against the president.
Conservative critics have homed in specifically on the fact that they served on two key investigations: the probe into Hillary Clinton (http://thehill.com/people/hillary-clinton)'s handling of classified materials while secretary of State and special counsel Robert Mueller (http://origin-nyi.thehill.com/people/robert-mueller)'s investigation into Russian interference in the presidential election, including any ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Mueller promptly removed Strzok from his investigative team after an internal review conducted by Horowitz discovered the texts. Page has since left the bureau.

Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz did not find that the conduct or potential political bias of FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok and FBI lawyer Lisa Page "directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed,” according to the report’s conclusions, which were obtained Thursday by Bloomberg (https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-14/comey-broke-from-fbi-procedures-in-clinton-probe-watchdog-finds).



“We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that improper considerations, including political bias, directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed,” Horowitz's report conclusions reads, according to Bloomberg. “The conduct by these employees cast a cloud over the entire FBI investigation.”
Page and Strzok have faced a barrage of attacks by conservatives who say their "anti-Trump" text messages serve as proof of systemic bias against the president.
Conservative critics have homed in specifically on the fact that they served on two key investigations: the probe into Hillary Clinton (http://thehill.com/people/hillary-clinton)'s handling of classified materials while secretary of State and special counsel Robert Mueller (http://origin-nyi.thehill.com/people/robert-mueller)'s investigation into Russian interference in the presidential election, including any ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Mueller promptly removed Strzok from his investigative team after an internal review conducted by Horowitz discovered the texts. Page has since left the bureau.

Because the Hill was made to look completely foolish and not knowing what they were talking about.

The IG’s report exposes a corrupt and politicized FBI and Department of Justice. And so far, we are seeing only half of the story, at most. No one has yet looked into the Democrats’ “Russia” tale or any partisan corruption linked to Bob Mueller’s farcical “investigation.” Given DOJ’s bitter refusal to cooperate with the Congressional committees that have constitutional oversight responsibilities over that Department–has anyone tried to justify DOJ’s stonewalling? If so, I haven’t seen it–we can assume that the damning documents that have been produced so far are only the beginning. Most likely, they provide only an inkling of the information the Justice Department, apparently still dominated by Obama holdovers, is withholding from Congress, or perhaps has already destroyed.

The unravelling of the effort to bring down President Trump has barely begun.....snip~

“Several FBI employees Who played critical roles in the investigation sent political messages,” IG report says.

It cites Lisa Page text to Peter Strzok: “(Trump’s) not ever going to become president, right? Right?!”

Strzok: “No. No he’s not. We’ll stop it.”




“We were deeply troubled by text messages sent by Strzok and Page that potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions were impacted by bias or improper considerations,” states Horowitz’s in his highly anticipated report on the FBI’s handling of the probe into Hillary Clinton’s use of a personal email server while she was secretary of state

“It is not only indicative of a bias state of mind but, even more seriously, it implies a willingness to take official action to impact the presidential candidate’s electoral prospects. This is antithetical to the core values of the FBI and the Department of Justice,” the report continues.

And yet Wray.....does nothing with Strzok. No removal of security clearances, No referring for criminal charges, No firing for breaking several agency policies.
