    Exclamation IG Report Released

    No political bias.

    https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...ff7_story.html

    Inspector general report says FBI had ‘authorized purpose’ to investigate Trump campaign’s Russia ties but finds some wrongdoing

    Dec. 9, 2019 at 12:50 p.m. EST

    A long-awaited Justice Department inspector general’s report examining the FBI’s investigation into possible coordination between the Trump campaign and Russia rebuts allegations of illegal spying and that political bias played a role in the probe begun ahead of the 2016 election, but finds serious faults in other areas, according to a copy of the document obtained by The Washington Post.

    The inspector general concludes that the FBI had an “authorized purpose” to initiate the investigation and that the bureau’s use of confidential informants was in compliance with the rules.

    Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said the inspector general had “completely demolished” some of conservatives’ assertions about the origins of the probe, though his investigators did find some problems.

    “Clearly, there was a legitimate, factual basis; in fact the FBI had a moral imperative to begin this investigation,” Blumenthal said. In particular, he said the inspector general had rebutted claims that Trump campaign advisers were illegally surveilled or entrapped, or that political motive was “in any way a factor.”

    Good.
    1. No collusion by Trump.
    2. No improper motive by the upper echelon of the FBI. Improper process acts by someone below them.

    Neither side wins. Lawyers won.

    Sadly I suspect you are right; it wouldn't surprise me if Trump and company claim that the "fix" was in.

    As I predicted...

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    Monday, December 9, 2019



    Statement of U.S. Attorney John H. Durham

    “I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff. However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”

    They had to know investigating conspiracy theories wasn't going to get them anywhere.

    Durham's report will be the same.
