    While no-one has yet to see the actual Inspector General Mike Horowitz report outlining how the DOJ and FBI handled the Hillary Clinton email investigation, the media are beginning to shape the narrative
    In a summary of Bill Priestap’s testimony, via The Hill, the narrative begins by focusing on James Comey: “Priestap “completely” backed up everything that Comey said, according to a source familiar with his testimony.” The narrative construct gains clarity with a report from ABC highlight James Comey as “insubordinate”:
    (Via ABC) The Justice Department’s internal watchdog has concluded that James Comey defied authority at times during his tenure as FBI director, according to sources familiar with a draft report on the matter.
    One source told ABC News that the draft report explicitly used the word “insubordinate” to describe Comey’s behavior. Another source agreed with that characterization but could not confirm the use of the term.
    In the draft report, Inspector General Michael Horowitz also rebuked former Attorney General Loretta Lynch for her handling of the federal investigation into Hillary Clinton‘s personal email server, the sources said. (more)

    This is another total set up. Why not just add 'extremely blatantly badly insubordinate' so that the non-prosecutable criticism looks stronger? No different from the Hillary email criticism in place of prosecution.
    As I said in one of the other posts, WHO could Comey refused to obey? Unless I’m mistaken, only Barack Obama and Loretta Lynch. So that means Comey has two choices:
    1) Admit that he was, indeed, “insubordinate”… meaning that he did it without approval or knowledge of Lynch or Obama.
    2) Deny that he was “insubordinate”… which will require that he state explicitly what Lynch and/or Obama told him to do.​
    I don’t know about anyone else, but I highly doubt we’ll get choice #1 from Comey. So if it’s #2… this is gonna get real interesting real fast.
    So now is the IG using the same play with different words as calling Hillary very careless: the equivalent of saying she did wrong but shouldn’t be charged.
    Outside the military insubordination is a firing offense at best. Comey was fired, so case closed.
    Knowing that Comey's recommendation statements were combed over with a fine tooth comb weeks before with back channel communications to DOJ.
    Certainly suggests legally at least much effort went into shielding, framing and assessing legal jeopardy. So where is his insubordination in defying consul’s advice to stick to the customary procedures, professional responsibilities and chain-of-command.
    Which naturally raises the question if legal consul was not raising objections that he was ultimately going to be insubordinate to the department, “What can consul cite that refutes the implications of impropriety that his actions where not politically motivated?”
