This here thread is for discussing the results of the FBI investigation into James Comey and his assorted fuckmuppetry.

Relevant article:

https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/14/politics/ig-report-clinton-email-investigation/index.html

Discussion of the 2016 election is unavoidable, but this is not a place to relitigate the outcome or do a postmortem on the Clinton campaign.

I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.

    The best summary of the report that I have seen so far is that people messed up at nearly every level in the FBI by not following normal protocols and norms and almost none of this would have happened if they had just followed them.

    The only time I can think of using personal email for work related stuff is travel itineraries. Solely because once you're at the airport and you don't have a hard copy you can't exactly hop on to your work terminal.

    This is baffling.

    ... and for times when you need to hop on a meeting when away from your desk and without your laptop, but they really need you to hop on this call right now and here we'll just forward you the file to review.

    The only work communication oon my personal gmail comes from letting my boss know I'm running late.

    Isn't this a DoJ investigation into the FBI, not an FBI investigation?

    Yes its a report from the Inspector General of the Justice Department

    Reading the summaries another wet fart of a report for the Trump side

    The worst I canf ind is Strozk and Page saying some inappropriate things for investigators to say. no actual malfeasance seems to be accused

    Also, let me just say fuck Glenn Greenwald now and forever:


    Greenwald -- who is on Fox News to conspiracy-monger about the Hillary Clinton IG report -- attacks the media for having "very little interest" in the Hillary Clinton IG report. #InsightfulAnalysis

    Aaron Rupar is a journalist with ThinkProgress.

    When you go on Hannity to conspiracymonger your pet theories that everyone else can see as false, you can stop saying that you are part of of the left.

    I have to admit, the investigation into Clinton being fully exonerated of any bias while Comey is exposed as being a two faced arsehole is probably a near perfect result in my mind. Not perfect, as I expect there’ll be accusations that they were biased really because they didn’t want their own usage of personal email exposed, but near perfect.

    greenwald will say more or less the same things about everyone and whose show he does it on aligns with whoever he's criticizing

    he is generally pretty consistent

    The distinction will be that he only did it for unclassified stuff. Presumably none of it would later be upclassified and he was always correct in his judgments about classification.

    Less twitter savvy reporters sometimes quote retweet themselves rather than threading posts.

    Time before Trump claims that the reason he fired Comey was always because of Comey's use of gmail?

    To the Trump/Russia investigation. About 4 weeks before the he did exactly what he said they shouldn’t do.

    It is about the FBI talking publicly about Russia helping Trump.

    It starts on page 347 here: https://www.justice.gov/file/1071991/download

    The most favorable interpretation is that he did not know how much the average member of the public knew.

    Comey didn't actually make any statements to the public right before the election. He sent a letter to members of the intelligence committee and it was then released to the public by Devin Nunes.

    Comey was willfully blind and an asshole if he didn't think Nunes would leak anything and everything that might make Hillary look bad, but it wasn't actually him that did it.

    There are plenty of people who think the Russians wanted Clinton to win, so that statement will be taken both ways by a lot of people.

    Trump, explaining why he can't announce something yet couldn't run to the fucking news fast enough about Clinton, how the fuck is that not bias?

    It's not even that he didn't make a statement about Russia helping Trump, it's that someone was leaking repeatedly that Trump/Russia wasn't under investigation at all and nobody ever contradicting it officially. That's where the real damage was done and is a large reason why Trump has as much leeway to declare the investigation a Witch Hunt now! "If I was colluding with Russia so much why didn't anybody stop me!?!" as the one fucking person that could stop him sat there mewling about whether or not it would look ok if he did.

    You're investigating Clinton and it never dawns on you who her long serving figurative right hand is married to? EVEN WHEN YOU ARE INVESTIGATING HIM SPECIFICALLY LATER?
