FBI Attorney #2 was removed from the special counsel's investigation in late Feb '18 after more texts were released showing his bias.
That's in addition to FBI Agent's 1 and 5. Plus Strzok and Page. Starting to get the picture? The single most important fact to come out of this entire thing with HRC server/emails is that congress really has zero power to do anything, it is looked upon as a joke by the NSA,CIA,DOJ,FBI and the courts. The OIG, DOJ, FBI, and all of the lawyers and media talking heads can argue about her server, their use of it, and the emails that went through it being legal or illegal (we all know it was illegal) but the one thing that is uncontested is that congress issued subpoenas on it all and HRC and her ilk ignored them and destroyed it all. The OIG report agrees with Comey's decision not to recommend prosecution. In what world can they ever arrive at this conclusion given they (Clinton staff) destroyed evidence under subpoena? Only one congressmen made mention of this yesterday, only one. |

Here is an interesting tidbit from page 176 (147 page number):
-- In another exchange on February 4, 2016, Agent 1 and an FBI employee who was not assigned to the Midyear investigation discussed Agent 1's interview with a witness who assisted the Clintons at their Chappaqua residence. Part of this exchange follows. FBI Employee: "boom...how did the [witness] go" Agent 1: "Awesome. Lied his ass off. Went from never inside the SCIF [sensitive compartmented information facility] at res, to looked in when it was being constructed, to removed the trash twice, to troubleshot the secure fax with HRC a couple times, to everytime there was a secure fax i did it with HRC. Ridic," FBI Employee: "would be funny if he was the only guy charged n this deal" Agent 1: "I know. For 1001. Even if he said the truth and didnt have a clearance when handling the secure fax aint noone gonna do shit" -- Nope. No corruption there. None at all. |
| So after all this, is Peter Strzok still at the FBI? |
That's like saying "with all the evidence in existence today, we still don't believe gravity exists."

The bolded is key. And, the NY FBI saw that HQ were attempting to cover up the finding of emails on Weiner’s computer. That is why they threatened to go public. Had they done their job completely, the computer would have been found earlier - and once found, if they had searched it immediately, there would have been no issue. Once HQ was notified about the emails, nothing happened for 21 days. The IG could find "no evidence" that anything happened between Oct 4-24 either by the Mid Year Exam team or anyone in FBI leadership, including McCabe and Comey. FBI New York then escalates to DOJ. I also have serious questions about the review of those emails found. One day, we are told that the pure volume of the emails would not allow them to complete the review prior to the election, and then presto! - they discovered a way to “de-duplicate” the emails. Thus, reducing the number of emails that needed review from hundreds of thousands to just over 3,000. But, this magic process has never been explained or really verified by anyone. Did they really look at the emails? Did Horowitz confirm that the emails were actually reviewed? |
You probably have rolled your eyes too much and caused yourself some mental stability because you have things completely backwards. There is lots of evidence that gravity exists. There is no evidence that Strzok took any actions as a result of personal political bias. In fact, the IG found the exact opposite -- that no evidence connecting political views to investigatory actions exists. You are imagining evidence where none exists. So, put your eyes back in their sockets and use them to read more carefully. |

| Actually, in the report, it says that they did not have confidence that Strozk's decision to delay the Weiner investigation because of the Russian investigation was "free from bias." There are lots of indications of bias and comments that there were concerns about bias in this report. |
| 16:37 here--was typing while other pp was posting. Strozk appears to have acted on bias. This is not over. |
The IG laid out overwhelming evidence of FBI’s political bias against Trump, and the very odd investigative actions. Everyone can draw their own conclusions of whether the deep rooted biases affected the investigation. They chose exclusively voluntary interviews on Clinton’s investigation. They handed out immunity like candy. They wrote exoneration months in advance. |
So what both you and the other poster are saying is that the IG could not prove a negative. He did not find that the decisions were the result of bias, but he couldn't prove that the decisions were free from bias. How do you prove something doesn't exist if you find no indications that it does exist? What we do know is that nothing on the laptop was meaningful for the Clinton investigation so giving it a low priority was correct. Compare that to the NYC FBI agents who leaked to Nunes and Giuliani. They not only have obvious bias, they clearly acted on that bias. No need to prove a negative in their case because you can easily prove a positive. |
| The report is full of examples of bias. I read one pundit who compared this to Comey laying out a case for prosecution of Clinton and then saying "no reasonable prosecutor" would indict. Many "reasonable prosecutors" have said they would have indicted her. Or, at least, called a Grand Jury. They had not intention of indicting her ever--or, a Grand Jury would have been called. Why was no one indicted? Several people lied. Several destroyed evidence, too. |
Yet they didn't. Too bad for our country they didn't. |
Yeah that sounds about right: the Russia investigation should have been a higher priority than revieiwng the laptop. |
All of the actions for which the IG faulted Comey were actions that hurt Clinton. The IG specifically criticized Comey for laying out the case against Clinton which he should not have done. It violated FBI procedure and his instructions from the DOJ. Comey did significant damage to Clinton. At the same time, he protected Trump. |
