    Page 4 Executive Summary

    Executive Summary
    A Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and
    Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election

    such as the use of grand jury subpoenas and search
    warrants to obtain evidence.

    whether the circumstances surrounding the decision
    indicated that it was based on considerations other than
    the merits of the investigation. If a choice made by the
    investigative team was among two or more reasonable
    alternatives, we did not find that it was improper even if
    we believed that an alternative decision would have
    been more effective.

    There were clearly tensions and disagreements in a
    number of important areas between Midyear agents and
    prosecutors. However, we did not find documentary or
    testimonial evidence that improper considerations,
    including political bias, directly affected the specific
    investigative decisions we reviewed in Chapter Five, or
    that the justifications offered for these decisions were
    pretextual.

    See that's how it's done

    Interesting wording. Did not find means exactly that. They did not find bias, but that does not mean bias did or did not affect the investigative decisions. Even more interesting is "directly affected the specific investigative decisions". That implies that bias could have indirectly affected the decisions. Meaning the bias could have consciously or unconsciously indirectly affected their investigative decisions by not giving full consideration to some evidence or not looking as hard in some directions.

    Glad you pointed that out. It makes me even more convinced that bias was present in the investigation.

    So not finding something in the mind of a Trumper means that it exists.

    Oh...

    My own experience with handling classified material convinces me she was guilty. There were too many places where she should have known better. And yet the FBI said none of her security violations were intentional. Then the IG report did not clear her.

    Nice try ... that isn't the issue here ...

    The issue was that the IG found plenty of evidence that Ms.Clinton obstructed justice by destroying materials under subpoena.

    You asked for proof of that from the IG report ... then ignored it when it was posted to you ... you're dishonest.

    You have to click your heels three times and keep repeating "there's no bias at the FBI" ... otherwise the fairy tale you're spinning won't come true.

    So Trumpers have more information and experience than the IG and Chris Wray.

    Have they examined the actual reports from the various players the way the IG has?

    Nah. They cherry pick details and ignore the Executive Summary...
