Your arguing a case I'm not making. The IG's report said Comey's actions were not "politically motivated". Hillary said they were. As noted above, I think the notion that Comey's actions were apolitical is horseshit of the highest caliber. OF COURSE Comey behaved like a political animal inside the Washington DC zoo. The press conference announcing the findings of the email investigation was PURELY a political exercise, and Hillary's campaign was correct to say that it was (probably the only thing her campaign got right). For the IG to say Comey's actions were not politically motivated is laughable.

But the IG says they weren't. So....Screw Hillary.

Au contraire, dumb ass. An IG with all the needed evidence, sworn testimony and expertise writes a comprehensive 568-page report after months and months of work, yet you prefer the piece of a guy who has none of the above, yet you go with his magazine article. Typical Trumpster - not letting the facts get in the way of his Dear Leader's preferred narrative.

Au contraire, pissat. The knife cuts both ways. If the IG's report concluded no political bias, how could that same report also state that "...other senior bureau officials showed a “willingness to take official action” to prevent Donald Trump from becoming president"?

The inspector general found “no evidence that the conclusions by department prosecutors were affected by bias or other improper considerations.”

Sorry, but that's just really hard to believe.

Oh, and by the way pissant, form the same WaPo article I posted:

To Clinton and her supporters, who have long argued that Comey’s decisions robbed her of an election victory, the report will likely be received as bitter vindication of her claims the FBI Director veered far beyond official policy in speaking publicly about her case, and reopening it in the final days before the election.


Screw Hillary, 'cuz it wasn't political.

Seems like you've got Whell's number down pat. He's tap dancing on the head of a pin over the news.

So the #IGREPORT proves what?

1. The FBI was right to decide not to charge Hillary with a crime.
2. That decision wasn't motivated by political bias or improper considerations.
3. James Comey made mistakes.
4. Those mistakes helped Trump win.

Sounds like Hillary got screwed.

Dude..Ease up on the Trump-Ade. Try a Snickers bar.

Naw, once again, you’re simply a convenient proxy for all the other ignorant, bigoted, intolerant dumbass Trumpies. Always good for a belly laugh!

It seems you can't read too well. The article is saying that the report vindicated the Hillarybots, dumb ass.
