See the problem?  This is the delay. They shared info for a month and Comey and co had no clue?

September 27 – October 26th: FBI Agents in New York Field Office contact Rudy Giuliani and share information about existence of Clinton emails on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. [Reuters, April, 19th, 2018][/quote]

You are cherry picking. We don't know the exact date of the leak to Giuliani, but it could have been September 27. In that case, there was no delay. We do know the approximate date of the leak to Nunes and there was definitely no delay in that case:

[quote]'Later September' 2016: Some time between the morning of September 27th and September 30th – four days – 'good FBI agents' from the New York Field Office contact Rep. Devin Nunes (R) and other members of Congress about the existence of Clinton emails on Anthony Weiner’s laptop. [/quote]

You are repeatedly doing two things to justify the leaks by rogue FBI agents:

1) justifying it based on conclusions not found in the IG report that Clinton was wrongly exonerated; and;
2) providing a post hoc justification based on the delay in examining the laptop.

Neither of those things justifies illegal leaks and, as the IG report found, those leaks pushed Comey to write to Congress resulting in a significant negative impact on the campaign for Clinton.

The bottom line is that rogue FBI agents influenced the election to Clinton's detriment. Your failed justifications don't change that.

I'm asking you outright if you personally believe that Clinton did nothing illegal and that the upper executives in the FBI did not 'go easy' on her. I'm quite sure you will not answer this with a yes or no.

I don't think Clinton did anything for which she could be successfully prosecuted. I do not believe the upper executives of the FBI went easy on her. To the contrary, I think the upper executives of the FBI took actions that hurt Clinton's election chances.
