    No, but it does mean having bias...

    "not motivated by by any political bias"

    That statement is a lie. The initial reason may not have been motivated by bias because the FISA report was full of ****, and the FBI was only doing their job but...

    IG Report explicitly faults FBI for never disclosing in multiple FISA applications that Christopher Steele was "desperate that Trump not get elected and passionate about him not being the US President" but journalists are celebrating that FBI was cleared of all political bias...?

    The report refers to it's previous report that does identify blatant bias by FBI agents.

    Now you have a decision. Reading the report you either think the managers at the FBI did something wrong or they are totally incompetent. Which is it?

    The IG does not decide intent. Juries do.

    You’re conflating 2 issues. The investigation into the campaign. And the carter page warrant. They are not the same thing.

    There were some minor mistakes but the investigation was proper. There is no Deep State conspiracy.

    Any agency can make some minor mistakes in a process. That does not proove the existence of a BS Deep State or that an agency is " incompetent" overall.

    Minor? Falsifying information to the FISA court to spy on Americans is minor? Fascinating.

    I will stop talking about the FBI after the non partisan Durham report.

    When will the left give up on impeachment?

    Mueller 2+ year investigation came to no
    Conclusion.

    All they are doing these days is increasing Trumps approval rating.

    Yes there was some very minor miscue by a minor level person. If there was anything important about that the Watchdog would have pointed it out.

    Of course there was a bias. They obviously didn't like Trump. But it didn't affect their job. What, do you think prosecutors aren't EXTREMELY biased against the people they prosecute? Does that mean they can't fairly prosecute anyone?

    17 incidents of wrongdoing by the Deep State, at all levels of government, all to "get" Trump.

    But thank God there was no pattern of behavior. No need to connect the dots.

    "Nothing to see here, folks. Keep on moving. Nothing to see ... "

    Minor level person? The investigation was tightly held at the top of the FBI leadership and not given to anyone 'low level'. The 'watchdog' states that reviews of those involved needs to be continued.

    It sure as heck wasn't motivated by justice! Isn't trashing law enforcement okay now?

    What "acts of wrongdoing"?

    No pattern of behavior? *LOL* Yes, certainly the 10 + obstruction of justice events laid out in the Mueller Report, and telling members of his staff to ignore subpoenas. Nosireebob! There's no pattern of behavior there! Nope!

    The place/level at which a minor little tiny mistake occurred was by a low level person. Get over it. There is no Deep State conspiracy. There was not and there is no coup.

    You’re right, I thought wray was there for a renewal but he wasn’t.

    when Wray was asked if he thought that Trump’s campaign was unfairly targeted by federal authorities, he simply responded “I do not.”

    LOL, low level FBI were not allowed and did not see any of this since it was kept tightly held by a small group. You apparently don't have a clue what you are talking about.

    You know that most of these folks aren't anywhere near mainstream political thought, right,

    It's a head-scratching experience to come in here and read some posts.

    Nobody confessed to political biases, the IG doesn't have subpoena powers. but it is more than obvious to anyone not living in the swamp that the biases is apparent.
