BREAKING: Department Of Justice Inspector General Report BLASTS Comey For Violating FBI Protocol, But Claims No Political Bias

On Thursday, Bloomberg News got the early scoop on the Department of Justice Inspector General’s report on the actions of the FBI during the 2016 election cycle with regard to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s misuse of her email server. According to Bloomberg, the report’s conclusions from IG Michael Horowitz – the same man who recommended the prosecution of former deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe for leaking information in unauthorized fashion to the press – state that Comey and the FBI violated protocol but did not do so for reasons of political bias. Here’s their conclusion:

While we did not find that these decisions were the result of political bias on Comey’s part, we nevertheless concluded that by departing so clearly and dramatically from FBI and department norms, the decisions negatively impacted the perception of the FBI and the department as fair administrators of justice.
