    Would you mind sticking to my question of the FBI openly hated Obama and caused him tons of grief.

    I do not recall any president other than Trump that met such resistance. From Democrats, from the FBI and particularly from most of the media.

    Well...not exactly. They found no documentation or testimonials to the fact....as if people would write that stuff down. That's not really the same thing as you're saying above. The bias was rampant when we look at the conversations we've all seen.

    Not sure how anyone could believe that these people could feel so strongly, and then just shut it off and give Trump a fair shake.

    Heck, I don't believe that even you really believe that, but you'll celebrate the "win" for your team.

    Yet the findings in the report indicate otherwise...

    The inspector general concluded that Strzok’s text, along with others disparaging Trump, “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.”

    The messages “potentially indicated or created the appearance that investigative decisions were impacted by bias or improper considerations,” the inspector general wrote.


    Again, we've already been over this - for two days now...

    Agents have a right to political views.

    They found no evidence. How much more clear can they be?
    They’ve got a right to political views.

    Potentially, appearances, implies....
    Aka no proof

    “We did not find documentary or testimonial evidence that improper considerations, including political bias, directly affected the specific investigative actions we reviewed,”

    I like how Lefties claim Mueller is a Republican but he hasn't registered himself as one in 17 years...

    Well, that doesn't ring true. Obviously we've all seen the conversations which are evidence of bias. What the statement you have been parading around as if it clears them absolutely, speaks of finding no documentation that said bias effected anything they looked at.

    Who would write such documentation at all? of course you wont find any. This does not mean it didn't happen, and certainly anyone who claims there was no bias at all is lying...it was clearly biased.

    Would you trust a black guy being on trial with the judge, prosecutor and jury all being Klan members? Of course if they handed down a guilty verdict you'd be the first one to say their biases didn't come into play. Using your 'you can be biased and still be fair' argument, much of what the left has been whining about can now be discounted as just that, whining.

    President Trump could declassify all the documents and bring them out now. But sitting on them while others do it painstakingly, slowly, is working too well.

    Trump, his cronies, accomplices and acolytes will NEVER get off this deep state "everyone is out to get me" bullshit.

    The crook in chief and his kids have just been sued for criminal misuse of his charitable foundation. The evidence has them COLD. The matter has also been referred to the IRS and the FEC.

    https://www.theatlantic.com/politic...s-of-the-trump-foundations-activities/562895/

    He lies and then dismisses his lies in the most absurd, deluded fashion. Apparently its not an issue that he lied to the new york times because they are fake press and phony anyway and its not like they are some big legal tribunal or anything. From the President of the United States trying to defend his character.

    He believes he can pardon himself and that he is above the law.

    He believes the media he doesn't like is the biggest threat to America.

    His "best people" are going to jail, or mired in corruption or conflict of interest scandals, or running for the hills, while the huge number of vacancies attest to the fact that all the best people made themselves unavailable, to the point where the WH is forced to hold job fairs to attract warm bodies.

    No its all a big conspiracy, everybody is out to get him, its all lies, there is no collusion, russia is a hoax,

    and the rubes believe. worse the power hungry know better and don't care.

    Actually there is plenty of evidence. Plenty! The FBI's investigation was a travesty and there is ample evidence of Clinton's law breaking.
    Have some respect for people's intelligence. What you claim in an insult to it.

    Nobody is claiming there was no bias. None that affected their work.

    When’s the house impeaching Horowitz?

    1. Learn How To Interpret An IG Report

    The best way to understand an inspector general (IG) report is less as a fiercely independent investigation that seeks justice and more like what you’d expect from a company’s human resources department. Employees frequently think that a company’s human resources department exists to serve employees. There’s some truth in that, but it’s more true that the human resources department exists to serve the corporation.

    At the end of the day, the HR department wants what’s best for the company. The FBI’s IG Michael Horowitz has a good reputation for good reason. But his report is in support of the FBI and its policies and procedures. As such, the findings will be focused on helping the FBI improve its adherence to those policies and procedures. Those who expected demands for justice in the face of widespread evidence of political bias and poor judgment by immature agents and executives were people unfamiliar with the purpose of IG reports.

    The IG is also a government bureaucrat producing government products that are supposed to be calm and boring. In the previous report that led to Andrew McCabe’s firing as deputy director of the FBI and referral for criminal prosecution, his serial lying under oath was dryly phrased as “lack of candor.” In this report detailing widespread problems riddled throughout the Clinton email probe, the language is similarly downplayed. Yet Horowitz fills the report with details of poor decision-making, extreme political bias, and problematic patterns of behavior.

    It’s not just Comey’s usurpation of authority and failure to comply with practices. Multiple people were involved in his condemned decisions. Others were cited for bad judgement in recusal decisions or failure to adhere to recusals. Political bias was rampant in the team of people who handled both the Clinton and Trump email probes. So were leaks, accepting gifts from reporters, incompetence, and other problems.

    Instead, Wray issued a strawman defense of employees, bragged about the high number of applicants to the agency, and talked about the low percentage of recruits who were accepted.....snip~

    Which of course is impossible to know unless they wrote such down somewhere. no, the statement said no documentation of bias....

    Horowitz will have a chance to explain his amazing incredulity.
    Given all the anti Trump emails and communications that flew back and forth through the FBI I admire his ability to so unambiguously
    state what everyone already knows is untrue with what I have to assume is a straight face.
