CTH:
Michael Horowitz: FBI Agent Peter Strzok walks like a biased duck… looks like a biased duck… sounds like a biased duck… has all the same characteristics of a biased duck… and took the exact action a biased duck would take; therefore “We do not have confidence” FBI Agent Peter Strzok is not a biased duck.
[…] when one senior FBI official, Strzok, who was helping to lead the Russia investigation at the time, conveys in a text message to another senior FBI official, Page, that “we’ll stop” candidate Trump from being elected—after other extensive text messages between the two disparaging candidate Trump—it 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.
This is antithetical to the core values of the FBI and the Department of Justice. Moreover, as we describe in Chapter Nine, in assessing Strzok’s decision to prioritize the Russia investigation over following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead discovered on the Weiner laptop in October 2016, these text messages led us to conclude that we did not have confidence that Strzok’s decision was free from bias. (p.420)
Christopher Wray: “I take these findings seriously, and we accept these findings and recommendations.” … “This report did not find any evidence of political bias or improper considerations actually impacting the investigation under review.”
This is the infuriating part. Think about this carefully. This is not some arbitrary irrelevant institution within the bureaucracy of government. The FBI is the “premier” law enforcement investigative apparatus within the entirety of the United States homeland security apparatus. We rely upon the FBI’s investigative skills, training and application of common sense as they carry out their official responsibilities.
In essence the FBI has the primary responsibility for ensuring the internal safety and security of Americans through a process of evaluating evidence and threats; and more importantly taking action on clear evidence of those threats to avoid public safety issues.
Yet, the most important investigative body; within the system of U.S. law and order; cannot identify, admit, accept and take action upon a clear and present threat within its own organizational ranks. A political bias that is transparently obvious to the rest of America.
Allow me to put the IG/DOJ/FBI principle, at the heart of the matter, another way
Rope and tree, meet Peter Strzok.
The FBI is like the three monkeys except the one keeps pulling his hands away from his mouth.
Ya think the IG would know bias if it bit him on the arse ?
Always makes me think that there is some uncovered dirt on those that go easy on their peers. So maybe their replacement will show the same deference on them when they get hoisted.
500 pages of whitewash.
Special council required to investigate the FBI in order to root out the rot.
“We do not have confidence that Strzok’s decision was free from bias”. Didn’t anyone teach these people not to use double-negatives? If you remove the double negative, it would be “We do have confidence that Strzok’s decision was (not free) from bias”. Is that what they meant, or are they just bad writers?
EXCERPT
“First, I’ll repeat (for emphasis) the OIG’s job is not to assign motive or pronounce judgment either way. His job is to present facts to the DOJ and Congress, nothing more. Doing more would be improper. That’s why Huber’s role is important to keep in mind. Huber and Sessions can make those calls and have the ability to bring charges. Huber was appointed by Sessions in secret – and worked for months before Sessions let anyone know about it. Huber has a grand jury empaneled, far outside DC, that’s been working for several months. None of that would not be going on if there was not a larger indictment/prosecution process planned. That’s why the body of the report is much more important than the Summary or Conclusion sections – even though everyone else is more focused on them. The body of the report contains facts – including a bunch of long speculated, now backed by (more) evidence, facts.”

The Deep State investigates The Deep State. Why would they see any problem with bias?!
if you expect the DOJ and FBI and congress to bring justice to the American citizen and jail these traitors, don’t !

EXCERPT
“Don’t believe anyone who claims Horowitz didn’t find bias. He very carefully says that he found no “documentary” evidence that bias produced “specific investigatory decisions.” That’s different.”

I suppose we can add “bias” to “is” being redefined in the eras of Clinton.
And the press is giddy over this cover-up! I am furious!!!

Not “dirt”. Esprit de corps. You’re only offered a probationary tryout if you claim to have it. You’re kicked out if you prove to, ever, not have it. And you’re only promoted as you prove having more of it than your peers.
“Not corrupt” by design.
