1. May be Comey is a Russia stooge all along?

[laserhaas]

2. 1st time I heard of that theory

[TimeSnowDemos]

3. No

Come on.

[TimeSnowDemos]

4. Hilarious

This is what, 3rd or 4th report that the GOP said will prove them right, which they hyped, and which makes them look lousy.

Lol.

5. Proof trump is

AN illegitimate president. Was he pressuring Comey to do it, I think Comey can answer that .

8. Trump had no position from which to pressure Comey

We likely know what did pressure Comey from his book. He thought as everyone did in June that HRC would win and did not want to be accused of covering anything up. This was exasperated by Lynch feeling she could not speak on the investigation after the meeting with Bill Clinton. Then - having spoken out saying Clinton would not be charged by any reasonable prosecutor and that he would inform Congress if anything changed, he wrote the two letters that greatly harmed the Clinton campaign. I don't think he did it to help Trump.

I expect that both he and Lynch will be criticized for their roles here.

6. Can we say 'illegitimate president' yet?

7. Unfortunately, ammo for both sides: Wash Post headline

The Washington Post introduces the report with a very different slant:

"BREAKING NEWS
FBI agent texted ‘We’ll stop’ Trump from becoming president, Justice report to show
The previously unreported message was sent by Peter Strzok, a key investigator on both the Clinton email case and the investigation of Russia and the Trump campaign. It is among the disclosures of a highly anticipated report by a Justice Dept. watchdog that is set to be released today."

9. Peter Strzok?

Wasn't he one of the Monkees?

[BumRushDaShow]

11. You mean Peter Tork?

[ArizonaLib]

13. Yes

The W. Post is a joke, and those FBI officials 'investigating' emails are cry out loud funnier than Mickey, Peter, Davy and Michael put together.

[BumRushDaShow]

15. Hee hee

[BumRushDaShow]

10. But the IG report found nothing that those two did

compromised the election process or investigations.

WaPo seemed to want to do "fair and balanced" reporting however what the 2 FBI agents did was a feather on one side of the scale vs Comey's lead brick on the other side of the scale.

14. This is one of the agents Mueller threw off the investigation?

Right? Drudge, of course, is first to run with it.

16. There were two of them

who had "inappropriate" texts - apparently using government devices to boot (which would basically be misuse of government equipment). But then I expect that being they were apparently low level agents on the case, they really had no power to affect anything other than have their politically-charged texts embarrassingly revealed to the world.

[Snellius]

17. Then why would the Post run with this "disclosure" to characterize the report?

This is beyond misleading. It's been a known fact well before the report.

12. Far More Evidence of Bias and Damage To Clinton

Even the allegations against McCabe relate to leaks regarding Clinton.
