    Disagreed since it was him coming out with them that Hillary blames for costing her the election. More than a few people on both sides of the aisle found the timing interesting. At that point, Comey was a Republican hero.

    Is there a searchable plain text transcript of the IG's testimony that we can copy for our files?

    You've worked for the government before, haven't you? Bureaucracies aren't known for their efficiency. Look at the 9/11 investigation for an example of how the FBI, CIA and other alphabets were slow to react to a threat first noticed during the Clinton administration. Hanlon's Razor is appropriate here, not another conspiracy theory.

    page 542 of the PDF:

    III. Conclusion The FBI appreciates the role of the OIG, its dedication to its task, and the thoroughness of its investigation in bringing to light ways in which the FBI can improve the performance of its mission. The Bureau also appreciates the finding that there was no evidence that bias or improper considerations affected its investigative actions or decisions. Further, while the OIG Report focused on only a handful of individuals, as described above, the FBI is reviewing the recommendations of the OIG and will be taking action that applies far more broadly to FBI leadership, career Special Agents and Intelligence Analysts, and all the various personnel that make the FBI the premiere law enforcement and national security agency in the world. The FBI is extraordinarily cognizant of the need to maintain impartiality and objectivity, and to make certain that the American people trust it to always do so.

    Page 273 (page 302 of pdf):
    CHAPTER NINE: DISCOVERY OF CLINTON EMAILS ON THE WEINER LAPTOP AND REACTIVATION OF THE MIDYEAR INVESTIGATION
    In this chapter, we discuss the discovery of Clinton emails on the Weiner laptop and the eventual reactivation of the Midyear investigation. Section I details the discovery of these emails by the FBI’s New York Field Office (NYO) and Section II discusses the numerous notifications of this fact to FBI Headquarters in late September and early October. Section III describes the initial response by FBI Headquarters and Midyear personnel to this discovery. Section IV discusses NYO’s processing of the Weiner laptop. Section V details the ensuing inaction by FBI Headquarters and Midyear personnel, and the explanations we received from FBI leadership and Midyear personnel for this inactivity. In Section VI, we discuss the Weiner case agent’s concerns about this inactivity and, in Section VII, we describe the actions taken by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) as a result of these concerns. In Section VIII, we discuss the response by the Department and FBI to SDNY’s notification about the Weiner laptop. Section IX examines the reengagement on this issue by FBI Headquarters and Midyear personnel. Section X describes the events that led to the decision to seek a search warrant for the Weiner laptop. We provide our analysis in Section XI.

    All we need is a good US Attorney to seat a grand jury and start compelling testimony.

    Comey lied under oath, these bastards really believe the word spoken out of their mouth is truth when in fact it's garbage. Whether he does or doesn't take the 5th or want immunity(or not), you press him hard. If you get him to take the 5th, you've won.

    He also wrote that assessment everyone keeps waving in our faces that the Russians 'did interfere in the election'. He's beyond tainted and compromised, and very much worth investigating.

    Yet, as the OIG report states, it worked its way through the FBI channels.....just like reports of Arabs taking flight lessons was known for at least two months prior to 9/11. Was that a conspiracy to ignore it or just standard bureaucratic procedure?

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fbi-was-warned-about-flight-schools/
    Two months before the suicide hijackings, an FBI agent in Arizona alerted Washington headquarters that several Middle Easterners were training at a U.S. aviation school and recommended contacting other schools nationwide where Arabs might be studying.

    "FBIHQ should discuss this matter with other elements of the U.S. intelligence community and task the community for any information that supports Phoenix's suspicions," the agent recommended in the memo obtained by The Associated Press.

    The FBI sent the intelligence to its terrorism experts in Washington and New York for analysis and had begun discussing conducting a nationwide canvass of flight schools when the Sept. 11 tragedies occurred, officials told AP.

    After the lovers SAT on evidence for a month, which should be seen as the same as the attempt to Conceal Evidence, which is a criminal offense.

    They are criminals and liars, masquerading as FBI agents. This is worse than Russian Collusion. At least then, it would be an 'outside invader'. In reality, it was an internal invasion, masked with lies and deceptions and false trust.

    That is a good link for the OIG report. Has the Congressional testimony been transcribed and made available yet?

    Yeah I was watching the Intercept and the Federalist. They will more than likely be the first to break the news, helping the Demos show their Corruption.

    Page XII of the IG report , ALONE, is quite damning. I'll dig it up again...as is this:

    The OIG Said It Did Not Have Confidence FBI Deputy Assistant Director Strzok Was Free From Bias While Investigating Hillary Clinton's Email Server. "Under these circumstances, we did not have confidence that Strzok's decision to prioritize the Russia investigation over following up on the Midyear-related investigative lead discovered on the Weiner laptop was free from bias." ("A Review Of Various Actions By The Federal Bureau Of Investigation And Department Of Justice In Advance Of The 2016 Election," Department Of Justice Office Of Inspector General , 6/14/18, p. ix)


    The OIG Was Particularly Concerned About Text Messages Exchanged Between FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok And Lisa Page That "Potentially Indicated Or Created The Appearance That Investigative Decisions Were Impacted By Bias…" "In particular, we were concerned about text messages exchanged by FBI Deputy Assistant Director Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, Special Counsel to the Deputy Director that potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions were impacted by bias or improper considerations." ("A Review Of Various Actions By The Federal Bureau Of Investigation And Department Of Justice In Advance Of The 2016 Election," Department Of Justice Office Of Inspector General , 6/14/18, p. iii)



    And Page XII :


    Strzok's Text Message Was "Not Only Indicative Of A Biased State Of Mind," But "Antithetical To The Core Values Of The FBI And The Department Of Justice." "Nonetheless, when one senior FBI official, Strzok, who was helping to lead the Russia xii Executive Summary A Review of Various Actions by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Department of Justice in Advance of the 2016 Election investigation at the time, conveys in a text message to another senior FBI official, Page, "No. No he won't. We'll stop it" in response to her question "[Trump's] not ever going to become president, right? Right?!", 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." ("A Review Of Various Actions By The Federal Bureau Of Investigation And Department Of Justice In Advance Of The 2016 Election," Department Of Justice Office Of Inspector General , 6/14/18, p. xii)



    We should WATERBOARD Strzok until we know EVERYONE who was part of "we"....IMHO.

    The same bureaucracy and bureaucrats were very quick and active in their efforts to destroy the Trump campaign and then his presidency.

    Comey was apparently receiving a briefing every week. A stated goal of the investigation, after it was decided not to prosecute HRC, was to move "quickly".

    "114 Prosecutor 4 stated that once he realized there was no prosecutable case, he had two goals in the investigation: “One was to conduct the investigation quickly to get it resolved before the election, as soon before the election as possible. And the second was to do it in a way that would engender public trust to the maximum extent possible.”
    115 Due to fact that the OIG’s review was ongoing at the time, the FBI sought and obtained permission from the OIG to conduct the File Review.
